I´ve been saying this for years. And you, I imagine. Trans-humanism, cyberpunk or whatever is the current designation, is a cult. Or at the very least a pseudo-religion which comes across as a Christian heresy or LARP. That it´s nominally atheist just shows that many atheists can´t take it and try to find a substitute for the Biblical god they left behind. Aliens, robots, AI or suitably enhanced humans, you name it.
Nor is it a new thing. The video doesn´t trace its roots, but on this blog, we already covered Russian Cosmism - the probable progenitor of cyberpunk. Of course, nothing will come out of this (probably not even mass suicide), except some hype to boost the stock value of AI-related businesses...and then its off to the next apocalyptic illusion, whatever that might be.
So around 2050, we can finally say: Cyberpunx dead!
