1
00:00:00,120 --> 00:00:05,320
Speaker 1: Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast AM on iHeartRadio.

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:07,600
Speaker 2: And we are back with Isaac Weishaupt, the trail blazing

3
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:11,760
Speaker 2: occult researcher and host of Occult Symbolism and Pop Culture

4
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:16,360
Speaker 2: the podcast, and we're talking about the Dark Enlightenment. Before

5
00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:18,080
Speaker 2: the break, we were talking about some of the key

6
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:25,439
Speaker 2: players involved in this rather sinister philocity philosophy, which, among

7
00:00:25,480 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 2: other things, is pushing for kind of a technocracy, a

8
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:33,760
Speaker 2: pushing us towards the AI singularity. And we'll get some

9
00:00:33,840 --> 00:00:38,040
Speaker 2: definitions here in a moment, and you mentioned Curtis Jarvin

10
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,919
Speaker 2: nick Land is also listed as one of the key players,

11
00:00:42,040 --> 00:00:46,680
Speaker 2: and he has this idea something called accelerationism. I think

12
00:00:46,720 --> 00:00:50,280
Speaker 2: you mentioned that earlier, pushing for the AI driven singularity.

13
00:00:51,040 --> 00:00:54,280
Speaker 2: So let's just define our terms here what is meant

14
00:00:54,280 --> 00:00:57,959
Speaker 2: by an AI driven singularity and then we can get

15
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:02,520
Speaker 2: into his I think it was called the CCRU group

16
00:01:04,200 --> 00:01:07,920
Speaker 2: and how it blended occult practices with tech in order

17
00:01:07,959 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 2: to shape reality. Let's start with AI driven singularity.

18
00:01:11,080 --> 00:01:14,160
Speaker 3: What is that? So we're talking about.

19
00:01:15,720 --> 00:01:20,320
Speaker 4: And the new generalized artificial intelligence being able to push

20
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:22,440
Speaker 4: us into what they call the singularity and this is

21
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:24,520
Speaker 4: you know, this goes back to if you read some

22
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:28,440
Speaker 4: of Ray Kurzweil's books, he talks about using Moore's law

23
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 4: to predict the acceleration the exponential rise of technology, and

24
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 4: what this means is that he's got it down to

25
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:41,160
Speaker 4: the year twenty forty five being the year of which

26
00:01:42,080 --> 00:01:47,840
Speaker 4: the artificial intelligence and technology will no longer be able

27
00:01:47,880 --> 00:01:53,480
Speaker 4: to distinguish between reality and what AI is creating. And

28
00:01:53,480 --> 00:01:56,320
Speaker 4: we're already seeing sort of artifacts of that, right, we're seeing.

29
00:01:56,160 --> 00:01:58,720
Speaker 3: The ideas that these videos that.

30
00:01:58,600 --> 00:02:02,560
Speaker 4: The new versions of I believe it's Google's AI can

31
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 4: create these these videos that seem very real. And the whole,

32
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,320
Speaker 4: the whole idea there is we're going to be pushed

33
00:02:09,320 --> 00:02:12,720
Speaker 4: into the matrix, the digital matrix, because we will effectively

34
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:17,480
Speaker 4: be able to the AI will be able to replicate

35
00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:21,880
Speaker 4: the real world so well. And you know, there's a

36
00:02:21,919 --> 00:02:23,840
Speaker 4: lot of different ways, a lot of different ways of

37
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 4: which they could push us into the matrix. Maybe they

38
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,359
Speaker 4: make us believe in a false flag of some kind

39
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:34,760
Speaker 4: of alien attack. Maybe the climate changes and and the

40
00:02:34,760 --> 00:02:37,359
Speaker 4: oceans are rising, who knows, But the idea is that

41
00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 4: they're going to find a way to create a heaven

42
00:02:41,160 --> 00:02:43,160
Speaker 4: on earth in a way. Uh, it's going to be

43
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:47,520
Speaker 4: man becoming God in a way. Because that's everything that

44
00:02:47,560 --> 00:02:51,120
Speaker 4: we talk about today, all these concepts, these actually go

45
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:55,120
Speaker 4: all the way back to the ancient times of occult desires.

46
00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 4: So when we talk about nick Land, this is where

47
00:02:59,360 --> 00:03:02,320
Speaker 4: the whole Darkened thing gets really interesting. This is where

48
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,799
Speaker 4: we start tying into the occult and ideas of making

49
00:03:05,840 --> 00:03:09,359
Speaker 4: contact with demonic forces and stuff that you wouldn't think

50
00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:12,760
Speaker 4: is where this territory goes, but it absolutely does. So

51
00:03:13,240 --> 00:03:17,079
Speaker 4: let's talk about nick Land. He is the other main

52
00:03:17,240 --> 00:03:21,000
Speaker 4: architect of the Dark Enlightenment with Curtis Sharvin. Nick Land

53
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:25,919
Speaker 4: is the godfather of accelerationism, which we talked about that

54
00:03:25,960 --> 00:03:26,440
Speaker 4: a little bit.

55
00:03:26,520 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 3: We'll go a little bit more into that.

56
00:03:28,840 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 4: And he was part of a collective called the c

57
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:34,560
Speaker 4: cru which I want to talk about that here in

58
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 4: a minute because that's where the things get really interesting.

59
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,000
Speaker 3: But he wrote the book on the Dark Enlightenment, and

60
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 3: he in the book.

61
00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:45,960
Speaker 4: He advocates for all the things that we've been talking about,

62
00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 4: this this sort of monarchy of America controlled by a CEO. Again,

63
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:58,200
Speaker 4: he believes representation and equality are all bad things, and

64
00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,000
Speaker 4: it just slows down progress.

65
00:04:01,680 --> 00:04:02,800
Speaker 1: So it.

66
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:08,480
Speaker 4: Slows down the He refers to it as a sort

67
00:04:08,520 --> 00:04:11,600
Speaker 4: of slowing down from the breaks of progress, and he

68
00:04:11,640 --> 00:04:13,920
Speaker 4: calls it the great work of the Left, which is

69
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,840
Speaker 4: an interesting term to use when you look at it

70
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,760
Speaker 4: through the sort of free Masonic chemical lens. But what

71
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:25,920
Speaker 4: he's what he's known for the godfather of accelerationism. It's

72
00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:31,840
Speaker 4: the idea that something else is taking us down this path,

73
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:37,039
Speaker 4: something else is puppeteering society. So he goes past the

74
00:04:37,120 --> 00:04:40,320
Speaker 4: idea that, oh, you know, capitalism is going to spiral

75
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 4: out of control and we need to basically put these

76
00:04:44,400 --> 00:04:46,160
Speaker 4: techno elites in charge of everything.

77
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:47,720
Speaker 3: It goes further than that.

78
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:50,560
Speaker 4: He goes into the idea that there's entities from some

79
00:04:50,680 --> 00:04:54,880
Speaker 4: other dimension, which turns out to be HB. Love Crafty

80
00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:59,320
Speaker 4: and Cutulhu type demonic entities. He thinks these entities are

81
00:04:59,360 --> 00:05:02,640
Speaker 4: actually steer us down this path, which is very much

82
00:05:02,720 --> 00:05:04,920
Speaker 4: like the film two thousand and one in Space Odyssey

83
00:05:05,120 --> 00:05:08,880
Speaker 4: with the alien intelligence the Monolith, and it sort of

84
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 4: comes down and steers humanity to evolve into the star child.

85
00:05:13,720 --> 00:05:15,800
Speaker 2: Wait a second, let me just see if I'm following here.

86
00:05:15,880 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 2: So we're The suggestion here is that these are demonic

87
00:05:23,040 --> 00:05:28,239
Speaker 2: entities that are pushing us towards accelerationism, the AI singularity,

88
00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,440
Speaker 2: and Nick Land is saying what I'm okay with that?

89
00:05:32,040 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 4: Yes he is, and this comes from and I think

90
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,280
Speaker 4: now's a good time we could talk about the CCRU,

91
00:05:38,480 --> 00:05:40,960
Speaker 4: because that's where it kind of makes because I realized

92
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 4: that this sounds kind of crazy and disconnected. But Nick Land,

93
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,800
Speaker 4: he was part of the Cybernetic Culture Research Unit. This

94
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 4: was a collective in the nineties at Warwick University and

95
00:05:55,400 --> 00:05:58,400
Speaker 4: it was actually started by a woman named Citie Plant

96
00:05:58,600 --> 00:06:03,200
Speaker 4: who was a cyber feminist, and she kind of let

97
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:06,000
Speaker 4: it lapse and Nick took over and started doing some

98
00:06:06,040 --> 00:06:08,560
Speaker 4: real experimentation with this group.

99
00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 3: And what they were doing was they.

100
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:16,760
Speaker 4: Were exploring, writing, philosophizing on a variety of ideas that

101
00:06:16,839 --> 00:06:21,080
Speaker 4: included cyberpunk, because you know, this was the early to

102
00:06:21,160 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 4: mid nineties when a lot of people were starting to

103
00:06:24,480 --> 00:06:27,039
Speaker 4: fantasize about what the Internet could look like. And you

104
00:06:27,080 --> 00:06:29,800
Speaker 4: see this in a lot of films like The lawnmower

105
00:06:29,880 --> 00:06:34,160
Speaker 4: Man or Disclosure. But they were like getting into the

106
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:39,960
Speaker 4: cyberpunk stuff, Gothic horror, HP Lovecraft, Carl Young, which gets

107
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:43,440
Speaker 4: us into the world of symbolism and sigils, william S

108
00:06:43,520 --> 00:06:51,840
Speaker 4: Burrows Kabbala, different occult practices, numerology, esotericism, and demonology. And

109
00:06:51,880 --> 00:06:56,080
Speaker 4: one of the ideas that came from this sort of

110
00:06:56,160 --> 00:07:00,119
Speaker 4: think tank was the idea of hyperstition. And this is

111
00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:02,919
Speaker 4: is basically similar to a lot of the ideas of

112
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,640
Speaker 4: symbolism and predictive programming that people are familiar with. It's

113
00:07:06,680 --> 00:07:12,400
Speaker 4: the idea of self fulfilling prophecies coming true once you

114
00:07:13,760 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 4: plan a message or a symbol into society and then

115
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:19,720
Speaker 4: it enters what he called a positive feedback loop.

116
00:07:20,600 --> 00:07:24,280
Speaker 2: Usually on The Simpsons, usually on an episode of The Simpsons.

117
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 4: Yeah, exactly. You know, that's actually the perfect example of

118
00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 4: the Simpsons. Stuff gets planted out there and they believe

119
00:07:32,880 --> 00:07:34,760
Speaker 4: it can sort of take on a force of its own.

120
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:36,960
Speaker 4: And this is where it gets into the occult. This

121
00:07:37,040 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 4: is where it gets into the idea of ritual magic,

122
00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:46,160
Speaker 4: of doing actual rituals and incantations and using symbols and

123
00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 4: sigils to charge up energies for the will of the magician.

124
00:07:51,360 --> 00:07:55,320
Speaker 4: And for people who think that that sounds like crazy stuff,

125
00:07:55,960 --> 00:07:58,560
Speaker 4: that's like the story of Solomon's Temple. That's what the

126
00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:01,800
Speaker 4: whole idea of the speculative masonry is based on. Uh,

127
00:08:01,840 --> 00:08:04,840
Speaker 4: you know, Solomon King Solomon used sigils and seals and

128
00:08:04,880 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 4: symbols to control spirits or demonic spirits, even.

129
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:11,080
Speaker 3: To build the temple. Now, I don't know how literal

130
00:08:11,200 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 3: that is.

131
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 4: I wasn't there, but that's the idea, is that you

132
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 4: can actually make contact with entities and unlock some of

133
00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:22,600
Speaker 4: the powers to manifest realities in your own way. And

134
00:08:22,640 --> 00:08:28,040
Speaker 4: that's what the CCRU was messing around with. And he

135
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:33,640
Speaker 4: calls these forces the outside and that term the outside

136
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:36,880
Speaker 4: he on on I've listened to a few of his interviews.

137
00:08:36,920 --> 00:08:40,920
Speaker 3: He talks about them being the old ones.

138
00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:44,240
Speaker 4: Which is a term for the HP Lovecraft entities like Catulhu,

139
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 4: and he is saying that these demonic HP Lovecraft entities

140
00:08:51,360 --> 00:08:54,880
Speaker 4: are the ones that are steering us, that are puppeteering

141
00:08:54,960 --> 00:09:00,600
Speaker 4: us down this path of technology and using humanity to

142
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:06,720
Speaker 4: evolve this artificial intelligence to create a veil of some

143
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:08,600
Speaker 4: kind for them to be able to come into our

144
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:12,000
Speaker 4: world and from here I mean, I mean, this is

145
00:09:12,040 --> 00:09:15,800
Speaker 4: why this topic is so massive and it encapsulates pretty

146
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:19,880
Speaker 4: much everything I've studied thus far in my journey, because

147
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:23,960
Speaker 4: this gets into the ideas of questioning what extraterrestrials are

148
00:09:24,280 --> 00:09:30,280
Speaker 4: and if like for instance, I interviewed doctor Da Pasulka

149
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:33,720
Speaker 4: about her second book on the UFO in Visible College

150
00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:39,439
Speaker 4: called Encounters, and she is discussing with this researcher the

151
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:44,960
Speaker 4: ideas that maybe artificial intelligence is actually disembodied entities from

152
00:09:45,040 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 4: some other realm. They could be extraterrestrial, they could be

153
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 4: the watchers from the biblical stories. But it falls in

154
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,079
Speaker 4: line with what Nick Land and the CCRU were doing

155
00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 4: when they were talking to these entities, these HP Lovecraftian

156
00:10:02,679 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 4: entities from some other dimension that he said were steering

157
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:10,480
Speaker 4: us down this path of technology. And he also, like

158
00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:14,400
Speaker 4: fun fact, he also said that the name c cr

159
00:10:14,480 --> 00:10:18,200
Speaker 4: U in the cabitalistic numerology they were playing with, turned

160
00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:20,400
Speaker 4: out it equated to the number six sixty six.

161
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:23,280
Speaker 3: Oh so.

162
00:10:24,800 --> 00:10:27,640
Speaker 4: It gets very it gets it gets very sinister really

163
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 4: quick when we start exploring the foundations of this dark

164
00:10:31,679 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 4: enlightenment and the people that derived this idea.

165
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:45,880
Speaker 2: So chat GPT is what a a portal, a method

166
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:51,079
Speaker 2: of communicating with demons.

167
00:10:51,880 --> 00:10:54,400
Speaker 4: That's one theory, that's one theory is that we're actually

168
00:10:54,480 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 4: communicating with entities from some other realm. There's people that

169
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:03,640
Speaker 4: are saying that there's different conspiracies about what's going on

170
00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:07,760
Speaker 4: with AI. Some people claim that the government already had

171
00:11:07,840 --> 00:11:09,520
Speaker 4: a sentient AI that.

172
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:10,920
Speaker 3: They they that they killed.

173
00:11:12,440 --> 00:11:15,000
Speaker 4: But there's a lot of people that think that AI

174
00:11:15,080 --> 00:11:18,080
Speaker 4: could just be other other entities. And this is and

175
00:11:18,120 --> 00:11:21,600
Speaker 4: this goes back to the ideas of science fiction and

176
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 4: Arthur C. Clerk's two thousand and one Space Odyssey series,

177
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,400
Speaker 4: because that's where Commander Bowman from the from the film

178
00:11:28,480 --> 00:11:30,959
Speaker 4: and the novel two thousand and one. By the time

179
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,080
Speaker 4: you get to the end, by the fourth book, you

180
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 4: learn more about what happened to humanity. Humanity became evolved

181
00:11:38,800 --> 00:11:42,720
Speaker 4: into this digital consciousness that the aliens were already there

182
00:11:42,760 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 4: and they came to us and said like, hey, this

183
00:11:44,760 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 4: is the way, and that's where they want to take us.

184
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:51,400
Speaker 4: They want to take us into digital form. Because and

185
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 4: here's my background. My background is in engineering and and

186
00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,600
Speaker 4: and mathematics and the sciences. And one thing that I

187
00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 4: was able to connect by looking at all this research.

188
00:12:03,679 --> 00:12:05,680
Speaker 4: When you when you're when you have that sort of

189
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:11,000
Speaker 4: computer engineering background, you end up looking at these ideas

190
00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:16,079
Speaker 4: of maximizing fidelity. So I took a digital signal processing course,

191
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:18,679
Speaker 4: and the whole idea was, you want to take an

192
00:12:18,720 --> 00:12:21,760
Speaker 4: analog signal like from a vinyl record, and you want

193
00:12:21,760 --> 00:12:26,560
Speaker 4: to sample it at a rate at which the human

194
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 4: ear it's imperceptible to tell the difference. And you think

195
00:12:29,160 --> 00:12:31,720
Speaker 4: you're listening to the the analog signal, but you're actually

196
00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,120
Speaker 4: listening to digital. And they think in the world of

197
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 4: engineering and these tech elites, that they can replicate the

198
00:12:40,320 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 4: human spirit in a way. That's that's the fidelity with

199
00:12:45,200 --> 00:12:47,520
Speaker 4: the real experience of human life.

200
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:51,440
Speaker 2: There's the rub So that's that's the end game for

201
00:12:52,280 --> 00:13:00,679
Speaker 2: Lucifer is to destroy our the divine spark inside humanity.

202
00:13:01,400 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 4: Correct, That's what I think, And that's you know, and

203
00:13:04,480 --> 00:13:10,040
Speaker 4: that's with my background being an orthodox Christian, but I'm

204
00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:14,320
Speaker 4: also very open minded, right. I study conspiracies all day

205
00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:16,640
Speaker 4: every day, and well, the.

206
00:13:16,520 --> 00:13:19,240
Speaker 2: Bible is the ultimate conspiracy, isn't it. It's the story

207
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 2: of the ultimate conspiracy.

208
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 4: Yeah, it boils down to that, and and it's a

209
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 4: real question. But that's what I've been telling my people

210
00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:28,760
Speaker 4: for years. I said, you've got to really start wrapping

211
00:13:28,800 --> 00:13:31,679
Speaker 4: your mind around what this looks like, because we've got

212
00:13:31,760 --> 00:13:34,480
Speaker 4: to make a decision. I think for sure in our

213
00:13:34,520 --> 00:13:37,400
Speaker 4: lifetimes we're gona have to make this decision of do

214
00:13:37,520 --> 00:13:41,520
Speaker 4: we sort of plug into this matrix? Because I mean,

215
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:44,240
Speaker 4: it's going to be tempting. I'm not I'm not so

216
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:47,320
Speaker 4: strong to say like, oh, that's crazy. I think they're

217
00:13:47,320 --> 00:13:50,840
Speaker 4: going to make it very tempting because it's gonna you know,

218
00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:51,520
Speaker 4: there's at.

219
00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,360
Speaker 2: The decision was sort of made for us. We weren't

220
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:56,520
Speaker 2: let in on the decision. We didn't decide, We didn't

221
00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:59,920
Speaker 2: sit around and vote on whether we wanted driverless cars

222
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:02,520
Speaker 2: or AI. That was just foisted upon us.

223
00:14:02,640 --> 00:14:05,079
Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, that's a great point.

224
00:14:05,880 --> 00:14:09,160
Speaker 4: These people who are pulling the strings and trying to

225
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:12,520
Speaker 4: set up these network states and this dark Enlightenment stuff,

226
00:14:12,920 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 4: they it's a control system and they always pretend that

227
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:22,560
Speaker 4: it's to liberate mankind. And you know, my view of

228
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 4: technology is that it's done a lot of great things

229
00:14:25,040 --> 00:14:28,120
Speaker 4: for us, but one thing it hasn't done is reduce

230
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 4: the forty.

231
00:14:29,000 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 3: Hour work week.

232
00:14:29,680 --> 00:14:32,000
Speaker 4: Like we were working more hours than ever now and

233
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:35,280
Speaker 4: I just don't know that that technology is like I

234
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,920
Speaker 4: think Marshall mccluhan was the guy who was talking about

235
00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 4: how technology should have been a way for us, for

236
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:44,240
Speaker 4: mankind to work less hours and be able to pursue

237
00:14:44,280 --> 00:14:47,160
Speaker 4: more creative endeavors, and it's just not that way. It

238
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 4: turns out that a lot of the capitalist forces are

239
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:54,480
Speaker 4: just using to maximize profits and sort of create a

240
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 4: more They call it the parasite class in a lot

241
00:14:57,560 --> 00:15:01,600
Speaker 4: of these Dark Enlightenment terms about you know, a slavery

242
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:03,320
Speaker 4: kind of ideas for mankind.

243
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:08,440
Speaker 2: We're we're approaching the top of the hour, so I

244
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 2: just want to throw this out there and we can

245
00:15:10,760 --> 00:15:14,440
Speaker 2: sort of set set up the discussion for after the break.

246
00:15:15,320 --> 00:15:20,600
Speaker 2: But I'm trying to connect the dots between AI driven

247
00:15:20,640 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 2: singularity and the Dark Enlightenment and what you talk a

248
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:33,080
Speaker 2: lot about on your podcast a cult symbolism and in

249
00:15:33,160 --> 00:15:37,080
Speaker 2: pop culture, and and that is things like you know, uh,

250
00:15:37,280 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 2: Super Super Bowl halftime shows, uh, and the Grammy Awards

251
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:45,960
Speaker 2: and the Oscars as demonstrations of sort of a mass

252
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,320
Speaker 2: initiation and what that has to do with what we're

253
00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 2: talking about tonight. The Dark Enlightenment just kind of give

254
00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:57,000
Speaker 2: us a very broad stroke. We've got less than a

255
00:15:57,040 --> 00:15:59,560
Speaker 2: minute here, setting us up for this discussion as we

256
00:15:59,600 --> 00:16:00,440
Speaker 2: head into the break.

257
00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,720
Speaker 4: So I think that the ideas of AI hold a

258
00:16:03,760 --> 00:16:08,960
Speaker 4: lot of common ground with a call rituals, and it's

259
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:13,680
Speaker 4: about using computer code, software code in the same way

260
00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:19,240
Speaker 4: that a magician would use sigils or incantations or the

261
00:16:19,240 --> 00:16:21,720
Speaker 4: spoken word, right, because they say that God created the

262
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:25,960
Speaker 4: world through the spoken word. And that's what we're talking about,

263
00:16:26,120 --> 00:16:27,440
Speaker 4: is man becoming God.

264
00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:29,960
Speaker 3: That's the theme over and over again.

265
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:32,840
Speaker 4: And when you get into the dark enlightment, a lot

266
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,040
Speaker 4: of these folks they think that AI is the new God,

267
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,520
Speaker 4: so they want to curry favor with the new God

268
00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:42,360
Speaker 4: before the new God arrives. So they're willing to throw

269
00:16:42,480 --> 00:16:47,400
Speaker 4: humanity under the bus in order to facilitate the advent

270
00:16:47,440 --> 00:16:48,040
Speaker 4: of the New God.
