Context #AdvocacyUSAntiDefamationLeagueADL "Jennifer Bilek, a prominent anti-transgender writer, has also referenced Pritzker and Soros, including in a 2018 article which claimed that 'transgenderism' is 'manufactured' as part of an effort 'to normalize altering human biology' and in a 2022 article in Tablet magazine about the Pritzker family. Bilek's writings have been shared by antisemites, and she in turn has openly called attention to the Jewish identity of those she blames for the so-called 'transgender project' and the broader 'transhumanist agenda.' Bilek shared a video in 2021 from antisemitic YouTuber Keith Woods about 'Transhumanism and Judaism' and in 2022 commented that the Pritzkers 'actually are promoting a religion but it isn't Judaism - it is the religious cult of Transhumanism.'"

Supplementary "Many transhumanists such as Kurzweil contend that they are carrying on the legacy of the Enlightenment - that theirs is a philosophy grounded in reason and empiricism, even if they do lapse occasionally into metaphysical language about 'transcendence' and 'eternal life'. As I read more about the movement, I learned that most transhumanists are atheists who, if they engage at all with monotheistic faith, defer to the familiar antagonisms between science and religion. 'The greatest threat to humanity's continuing evolution,' writes the transhumanist Simon Young, 'is theistic opposition to Superbiology in the name of a belief system based on blind faith in the absence of evidence.' Yet although few transhumanists would likely admit it, their theories about the future are a secular outgrowth of Christian eschatology. The word transhuman first appeared not in a work of science or technology but in Henry Francis Carey's 1814 translation of Dante's Paradiso, the final book of the Divine Comedy. Dante has completed his journey through paradise and is ascending into the spheres of heaven when his human flesh is suddenly transformed. He is vague about the nature of his new body. 'Words may not tell of that transhuman change,' he writes." https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/apr/18/god-in-the-machine-my-strange-journey-into-transhumanism #IRLScientistComputerRayKurzweil #EpistemologyEmpiricism #IRLAuthorSimonYoung #NarrativeUtopiaEschatologyApocalypticism #IRLAuthorHenryFrancisCary #1814_Paradiso #IRLPhilosopherDanteAlighieri [Wikipedia]

@HillaryTacon [name pseudonymized] [ontology] [03]: MSM & the Ruling Class has been trying to whitewash #Wokeness as non-Black.
ie. frequent claim "#Woke refer to injustice"
Woke is incorrect English tense, commonly found in Ebonics. Woke is a BLACK thing.
Lumping in Climate Change, LGBT, etc. is whitewashing. [URL redacted]

Because if you are in any serious way concerned about the future, you're also concerned about Thiel, a canary in capitalism's coal mine... ...he didn't like how they wrote about him; he is known for his public musings about the incompatibility of freedom and democracy, and for expressing interest - as though enthusiastically pursuing the clunkiest possible metaphor for capitalism at its most vampiric - in a therapy involving transfusions of blood from young people as a potential means of reversing the ageing process. But in another, deeper sense, he is pure symbol: less a person than a shell company for a diversified portfolio of anxieties about the future, a human emblem of the moral vortex at the centre of the market. And the overwhelming suspicion was that he was looking for a rampart to which he could retreat in the event of outright civilisational collapse.

#IRLCuratorJudithBenhamou "These animated creatures romp around in a small park without colliding, and periodically eject from their rear ends photographs showing the spectators who are looking at them. 'In future, sculptures will inevitably come to be living objects,' Beeple argues. But why mix artists and tech billionaires here? 'Because in both cases we look at the world through their lens.' By the opening of the fair, nine of the ten human-headed dogs had already been sold, at [USD] 100,000 dollars each." https://judithbenhamou.com/art-basel-miami-beach-a-sublime-joan-mitchell-a-coral-reef-robot-dogs-with-billionaires-heads-and-the-great-comeback-of-enthusiasm/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-kIs2A0dMo #IRLArtistPabloPicasso #IRLArtistAndyWarhol #IRLEntrepreneurElonMusk #BrandAmazonJeffBezos #BrandTechMetaMarkZuckerberg #MagazineUSARTnewsDanielCassady "The installation, Regular Animals by Beeple (a.k.a. Mike Winkelmann), is part satire, part dystopia, part slapstick theater. In it, a pen of robot dogs (or is it pigs?) have been fitted with grotesquely lifelike heads of Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Pablo Picasso, Andy Warhol, Jeff Bezos, and Beeple himself. They wander, they twitch, they clash--and then, at intervals likely engineered for maximum dramatic tension, they tip backward and eject a printed image from their backsides." https://www.artnews.com/art-news/news/beeple-pooping-robot-dogs-at-art-basel-miami-beach-1234765375/ #IRLArtistMikeWinkelmannAKABeeple [Wikipedia] #2025_RegularAnimals
