This and The Fall of New Athens are companion pieces of theory-fiction written in collaboration with Samuel Barnes. Initiated from the same prompt they cover the optimistic and pessimistic cases for break-off communities respectively.
We are surrounded by narratives of the future that lack any sense to them. Our prophets have been so atomized as to forget their very nature as man. They float away on a cloud of machine dreams, never to be heard from again.
My brother gave me this prompt: Write about one person who has above average intelligence but no superpower who effectively completely disrupts the timeline towards a far far better one. What do they do?
This is a story about Rob, who wants a vital timeline.
Why the prohibition of making a machine in the likeness of a human mind is right action.
Silicon doped incisors clamp into human flesh and optimize for vitality transfer from us to the cyborg oligarchs.
The standard scientific worldview is a mechanical corpse, and I am here to help bury it.
Probe Capitalism starts with the observation that we are not producing enough probes that carry life to other planets.
I would like to convince you that the entire cosmos should be treated not as a sterile mathematical machine but as an active expression of Will of which we are part.
The current hypothesis on the origin of life is that it randomly assembled itself on Earth, centuries and centuries of highly improbable events adding up to organic matter. Let us begin by assuming otherwise, that life instead arrived on this planet.

Here’s the situation: natural immunity through exposure to COVID is more effective at generating immunity when compared to mRNA vaccines.
Appropriate Digital Technology reduces the massive waste of attention that defines our modern software and its construction. We must reduce attention held by tech for the health of our users if nothing else!
Green Wizardry is a handbook of appropriate technology. These notes will go over the foreword and principles as Greer’s explanation of energy, matter, and information is one of the best out there.
The goal of tradhumanism is to rectify technology with eternity.

This works for getting to the Moon and back, but if you’re like me that’s not good enough. The frontier beyond the Moon, beyond the Solar System–this is what calls to us.
This is an age of codes. Ultimately a code is a quantity: a particular code is one of a finite number of possible codes.
