In the thirteenth century, Aquinas wrote that story; he sanctified the ownership of land and the serf’s body by the lord as “divine order.” In the twenty‑first century, Yuval Noah Harari takes on the same task. Only this time, God gives way to Data, and divine order to the Algorithm.

Midway through Pantheon on Netflix. Two unrelated friends recommended it. Now I’m hooked. The corporation feels very transhumanist; the historian wife reads more humanist. Curious whether a post-humanist angle shows up, or if it invites that kind of critique. Watching for fun, but it’s interesting to see how it's tied to what I’ve been reading. #Pantheon #Netflix #transhumanism #posthumanism #humanism #scifi

Suppose humans finally got around to figuring out intelligent communications with animal species other than themselves, and started teaching the animals science, tech, engineering, arts, math, philosophy, etc. What animal species do you think would suit this task particularly well, and why would that be?

Just finished listening to Ilia Delio’s Re-Enchanting the Earth: Why AI Needs Religion using #Paper2Audio. She frames AI as part of evolution’s “techne” and argues religion (as tethering to the whole) has to evolve too. I’m intrigued, though some claims feel like a stretch, especially around “God participating” in creation. Still, the posthuman relational angle stuck with me.

CALL FOR PAPERS: Symposium "Performing Ends" | 28–30 October 2026 | University of Antwerp, Belgium | Deadline: 1 December 2025 • FID Darstellende Kunst

"Watching tech moguls throw caution to the wind in the AI arms race or equivocate on whether humanity ought to continue, it’s natural to wonder whether they care about human lives.

The earnest, in-depth answer to this question is just as bleak as the glib one. As moral philosopher Émile Torres argues, many Silicon Valley leaders embrace a vision of a transhumanist future in which biological humans will be replaced by digital beings endowed with superintelligence. This vision helps explain their obsession with artificial general intelligence (AGI) and sits at the core of what Torres describes as human extinctionist preferences.

In 2023, Torres and his colleague Timnit Gebru coined the acronym TESCREAL to describe a constellation of ideologies — Transhumanism, Extropianism, Singularitarianism, Cosmism, Rationalism, Effective Altruism, Longtermism — that have become highly influential within Silicon Valley. Torres is a philosopher, intellectual historian, and journalist whose work focuses on the ethics of emerging technologies, particularly AI and human extinction.

In this conversation with journalist Doug Henwood recorded for the Jacobin podcast Behind the News, Torres explains the TESCREAL worldview, its connections to eugenics and IQ realism, and why figures like Elon Musk, Peter Thiel, and Sam Altman embrace visions of a post-human future."

Tech Capitalists Don’t Care About Humans. Literally.

It’s not just a figure of speech to say tech titans are indifferent to humanity. From Peter Thiel to Elon Musk, many are adherents of a worldview that envisions humans being replaced by digital post-humans and sees this as progress.
