It has been clear for some time that mass robotics is coming, but barring nothing short of catastrophe, robotics is not going away. But it took last week's “We Robot” event to seep into the collective consciousness when Elon Musk, once called the world's greatest salesman by Peter Thiel, introduced the instantly familiar Roboban, Announced cyber taxi, Optimus Bot. I doubt anyone has watched even a few seconds of Star Wars content that features droids.
The emergence of humanoid robots for the masses — that can do more than just do what you want them to do. Get used to it Assuming any number of roles that humans have played in human history, there is, predictably, a new frenzy between tech optimists who celebrate the acceleration and tech pessimists who are desperate to at least put the brakes on. A confrontation began.
That's true — Big Tech teeth What makes Big Tech big, dominated by cults like wokeness, intersectionality, DEI, ESG, and perverted pride? teeth Deep and intimate ties to the federal government, especially the intelligence agencies that are also involved in cults and their rituals.
What is new this time is the political dimension of the conflict. As more tech founders and funders gravitate toward Trump this year, Musk has also been at the forefront of the trend, though he has openly criticized tech figures and organizations aligned with Biden and Harris. Their newfound confidence in doing so has added a decidedly partisan tone to the debate over technology.
That's true — Big Tech teeth What makes Big Tech big, dominated by cults like wokeness, intersectionality, DEI, ESG, and perverted pride? teeth Deep and intimate ties to the federal government, especially the intelligence agencies that are also involved in cults and their rituals. The woke left has defeated anti-growth, pro-slowdown, pro-regulatory factions of technocrats and bureaucrats who want to ensure that their cult's spiritual authority dictates and controls the vectors of technology research, development, and deployment. It cannot be denied that it is in control. .
Ostensibly, what they want is to prevent humanity from being wiped out by out-of-control machines. In fact, they tend to increasingly openly support the reduction of humanity to obedient freaks forced into the social credit system of a global woke supercomputer that is the ultimate in micromanagement.
At the same time, the unfortunate reality is that the woke left has been able to act before anyone else in organizing attempts to align technology and spiritual authority. Even a generation ago, millions of healthy Christians in the United States, backed by deep community ties and active commercial activity, were able to develop technology that directly and consistently influenced the authority of the state. One might have thought that they would unite to avoid dominating American life to the detriment of the United States. Church life — by creating experiences and dreams that promise an earthly paradise in exchange for complete spiritual submission to the technologicalization of everything, from the earth to the molecules in our bodies.
Sadly, American Christians did not do this, so that woke leftist cults (increasingly a formal religion with a well-developed liturgical language, ritual performance, and sacrificial rites) became spiritual I entered a blank space.
As a result of this deplorable series of events, America's political right has become increasingly out of control and perhaps desperate for a way back at all costs. With the loss of political power, those who were most spiritually inclined to resist the replacement of their ancient faith with a heretical cult of fusion with machines began to accept it instead, and the establishment of the Awakening A theocracy that increasingly believed that the only hope for destroying it was revolutionary cyborgs.
The plausible reasons for making such a devil's bargain are abundantly clear. But of course there are also opposing views. as a columnist put it down: “I don't understand why conservatives would worship someone who destroys the way of life they want to protect. These AIs and robots will take away your job, your freedom, your humanity.”
But again, the key to understanding is very simple. As technology develops, the urgency of political questions, the ultimate questions about our identity and purpose—questions that demand theological answers and intimate personal spiritual guidance—become central to the human experience. It has become. Conservatism in the 21st century, freed from institutionalized spiritual authority, became a very easy defeat for the revolutionary left. This is because the left quickly abandoned its previous materialistic, secular foundations in favor of a militant post-Christian woke spiritualism.
So we find ourselves caught up in a political realignment. There, Christian spiritual authority over America's free technological development is almost completely absent from the discussion. This debate is taking place at an unprecedented turning point for America, where our form of government and, indeed, the very nature of our existence is at stake. not good!
It was interesting to watch Elon Musk and his allies navigate this landscape. Despite attracting criticism, the breakneck pace of technology and the way it is marketed to its fans effectively encourages the nation to cast out Christ the God in favor of God. Overall, this maneuver is moving in the right direction. -Simulate a Borg population. However, the main problem is not with machines or their powers, but rather with humans and themselves. For such an empowered technologist to outwit the desperate conservatives who flock to his feet begging for manna, he trades the rest of the world for a simulation of a conservative lifestyle, i.e., “hometown Disneyland.” ” would be embarrassingly easy to provide. …and of course their souls.
Some may find the first inspiration for an Antichrist persona with comparable ambitions in various prominent technology figures. I am more concerned that a technologist with the best of intentions is being reshaped by the virtual and digital worlds he has created into someone who believes he has no choice but to destroy the Church of Christ and society. I would like to focus on the case. To create a divine human form so that the new and “improved” Borg God and his New Church counterpart can take “us” to the next level of supergalactic consciousness.
What can be prevented? that An unfortunate scenario? A Christian technologist recently scoffed at Optimus' marketing to people seeking spiritual support relationships. Posted How to create an answer. “Teacher, babysitter and friends?!” Can you use them as soldiers? This is one of the important patterns. [cyborg] It’s a theocracy,” he said. “They take up weapons and use them to hijack human spiritual relationships. The solution is clear.”
It should be obvious if you go this far. Those who wish to lose their woke theocracy without losing their humanity in body and mind cannot trust either political conservatism or post-political technocracy. There is really only one institution that can reestablish spiritual authority for structural salvation in the digital age. without it Rather than imposing a theocracy, we must is to give inspiration. The time has come for Americans from all walks of life to rediscover the essence of the Church, which provides an unparalleled foundation of rock, not sand.
