>Our civilization’s trajectory is irreversible. We are being psychically culled by illusions, and our machines are now domesticating us. Corporations are plotting to build sub-realities via trendy virtual-reality technology that celebrities will soon endorse as fashion so they may act as gods to the under classes. In a matrix of their own creation, the spiritual peasants are all too eager to submit.

>Sexual intimacy will no longer be intimate, the act will be as mundane conversation; we will be monitored by artificial intelligence through every medium for “our own protection”; and humans will always feel incline to erode morality through slogans relating to love and freedom, believing that it is part of evolution, conditioned from birth to worship the institution.

>The narrative will not be conquered from within – faith must be put into intangible higher orders. Do not submit to the good of mere machines.

are there any postmodern-antimodernist thinkers/writers out there?

The greatest tract on this is of course Theodore J. Kaczynski's Manifesto, which made lots of academics very uncomfortable.

If you want some light reddit tier reading, try Kurzweil.

transhumanism seems a pretty pro-modernist narrative to me

Because he is smarter than they are, and they cant refute his work, despite him being a murderer, and despite his work justifying his crimes.

>>8857385
I guess it depends on whether or not you value humanity as it exists today, and believe in 100% optimism. I find Kurzweil's singularity to be horrifying, like evolution happening over a course of years.

So because you like him.

His rant was shit bro. The fact that he thought lone-wolf style tactics would bring about any degree of social change shows that he's about as intellectually sophisticated as the fucking narodniks.

Mathematician who can't into basic materialism
