On a country road to the big city. The views are gorgeous, but the sky looks dark up ahead.

Nothing captures our current state of postreality like Philip K. Dick, the Wakowski Siblings, and the inimitable Francis E. Dec with his screed “Master Race Frankenstein Radio Controls.”

The only thing more horrifying than finding out the entire cosmos is fake is to realize the false reality is all in your head.

You can hear Dec’s uncensored, ethnopsychotic meditation on race, robots, and religion here. (NSFW)

Stay sane, fellow hominids.

And remember the Ultimate Red Pill — the online Right’s most potent metaphor was invented by two transexual technognostics.

In this episode, we’ll go over the many visions of what a Singularity might be. That includes the psychedelic mystic Terrence McKenna, the quasi-Orthodox inventor Ray Kurzweil, the inverted Gnostic roboticist David Hanson, and the e/acc founder Guillaume Verdon—a.k.a., BasedBeffJezos.

For kick, we’ll add a taste of Ted Kaczynski, and to finish it off, the sci-fi writer Vernor Vinge. Oh yeah, and a guest appearance by our boy, Tay-arr Day-shar-dohh.

All their Hockey Sticks of Doom soar off in different directions. Yet all of them converge on the rise of a Machine coming into its own.This is a descent into lunacy. I hope you enjoy it.

In this first full episode, we’ll cover the Singularity’s origin in the ideas of the Jesuit priest and paleontologist Teilhard de Chardin. His concepts of the noosphere and the Omega Point had tremendous impacts—both as theories of technology and part of that inverted theology we now call “transhumanism.”Along the way, we’ll meet tech historian Lewis Mumford, the biologist Julian Huxley, and the sci-fi writer Vernor Vinge.

As for my redneck-attempting-a-Frenchman’s pronunciation of de Chardin’s name, what do you want me to do? Maybe next time I’ll do that jarring NPR accent where I talk American, then out of nowhere I inject “ta-co” or “ta-ma-les” like I’m friggin’ Speedy Gonzales.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this dive into the mind of Tay-harr de Char-doh.
