0:00 all these elites and other people that we that we you know I mean they want to live forever. They want they're trying to get that by mechanical means. They want a tech singularity where they can their consciousness can be uploaded to a computer. That's all nonsense. That's the way reality is. Basically, we're going to be uploaded. You know, the the metaverse will upload you and then if you are consistent with its structure, then you can be downloaded elsewhere. Okay. Um, but these these these elites that want to do it all mechanically, that's because they've cut themselves off from from the primary teler from God, from the identity of reality.

0:33 They're in trouble. And it's really kind of ironic because if they were really interested in eternal life, they would be doing the right thing, not trying to convert us all into robotic golems for their eternal pleasure. You see what I mean? Yeah. This is something I've been talking about myself a lot. It seems like um you know the the political ideology we have in the west, if you want to call it liberalism or whatever, but it seems like it's it's more transforming into a kind of transhumanist pseudo religion. Uh and I noticed this with like a lot of the early advocates for transgenderism like um Martin Rothblad. Uh she actually wrote a book called the transgender to transhuman manifesto. Uh and then you look at it and a lot of the a lot of the billionaires that have backed the um transgender causes uh like herself um are also heavily invested in uh life extension technologies, transhumanism. A

1:28 lot of them are very interested in um the idea of the singularity and like you said uploading their mind to a computer. And you start to get the the sense that uh like something deeper is going on here. like it's not just this isn't just about you know oh right for uh trans people or whatever that they're they're actually fundamentally transforming the way that we view the world and that um you know it used to be uh you know a transgender person used to be a transvestite and um and then I it got to the point well we'll we'll kind of use their pronouns to appease them and then it got to the point well actually there's no then there's no gender at all and it's you're actually this like free floating consciousness that kind of gets thrown into a body and now they seem to be kind of imposing imposing this ontology on us where your body has no effect on your personality whatsoever.

2:14 And the ultimate goal of uh their political endeavor is basically to liberate people from the physical world. And how are they going to do this? Well, they're going to do it through by trapping them in the physical world. Right. Right. Yeah. So, it's this kind of paradox. They're trying to they're trying to find liberation from from the body, from the world. It's this almost like neonstic view of things. Uh and they're doing it through technology and true technological progress. through technology, but they don't have a theory of what they're doing. There is no theoretical support or scientific support for what they're trying to do.

2:46 Okay? They have not come even come close to showing that most of this this transhumanism techy nonsense that they're coming up with is possible. Okay? The closest thing that what they really need is a framework that actually puts the entire self- simulation scenario in perspective. And that's the CTMU. But they hate it. And the reason they hate the CTMU and and are cancelling the CTMU is that I had the tmerity to mention the G-word, the God word on national TV back when I first picked up a little bit of notoriety. Okay. And I said, "Yes, it's it's mathematically provable that uh that you know, God exists, you know, and immediately the new atheists all you know jumped out of the the woodwork and and of course a lot of these techy billionaires and so forth, they too are new atheists. So they jumped on the bandwagon and pretty soon nobody wanted to talk about me or my theory. They all wanted to uphold this this illusion that

3:43 I was some guy who simply had no ability to get along with other people and had more or less just retired to bar bouncing and being a rancher. See, but that's illusory. Okay. In reality, this theory has existed and was introduced to the public at the same time as I was, but it has more or less been squaltched during that period. And the reason is these people are just in denial of reality, right? These these elites, the oligarchy, you know, these these are people that want transhumanism to think, want to upload their consciousness to computers. They are literally in denial of the very framework that deals with that kind of metaphysical phenomenon.

4:24 All right. And it's just it's ironic. There seems to be there seems to be a moral aspect to it as well. I mean, if you're if you're living in a way that's that's clearly uh against the natural order, if you're um you know, some of these people, you know, they're they're uh not the the prettiest bunch. If you know, if you're ugly, if you're against reality, if you're you know, you're going you're going to reject it on on kind of a fundamental level. You know, they're kind of in revolt against reality itself, right? Yes, they are. I mean, it's very obvious, you I mean, you look at these these gay day parades, you know, and the way the way these people coort and carry on and and you know, uh, you know, you were talking about transvestism before.

5:03 That's more or less an analogy for the it's it's a kind of a a symbol for everything that that they're talking about, which is basically liberation from reality, from not only the bonds of morality, but the bonds of logic itself. They're going to liberate themselves from that. and you take a look at them and it's it's you you can't have any respect for people like that. I mean, you can you can maybe be compassionate toward them and you can maybe feel that, you know, well, you know, I mean, we got to tell them the truth, but let's not hurt their feelings too much. Let's let's be gentle about it. But when they respond with this insanity, you know, of going into public schools and uh and you know, and insisting that books on on deviant sexual behavior be included in in children's libraries, when it comes to that kind of thing, you realize, you know, you're dealing with something intrigent, something that just doesn't

5:56 want to give an inch, that hates reality and hates logic, right? So why would would these techy billionaires want to live forever in a reality that they fundamentally hate? And that's that's and of course it shows that you know a lot of the negative social consequences we see I mean it shows that you know having a a fundamentally wrong theory of reality can lead to bad consequences. I mean you mentioned like the singularity and I agree with you. You know this stuff just seems like sci-fi. But you get to it and the problem is these people like Kerszswall and these people that write about singularity seems like the problem is that they have this totally mechanical view of things where the only way that they can understand consciousness is uh just analogized to a computer and well we can build a complex computer we can build a consciousness and a soul you know it's the same kind of mechanical right but Right. A

6:44 computer is just a machine. Okay? If you if you you know snip a few wires, it all falls apart into parts. There's no coherence to it, right? The the the parts the components of a computer are not really communicating with each other. They're communicating with each other localistically, right? At certain junctures in space and time, everything is terminally confined. It's all confined to the physical realm, but there's no coherence there. In the physical realm, precisely how you define the physical realm is you can break it up into quantum events.

7:14 Okay, those quantum events are individually coherent, but they have no higher order coherence, right? Once you remove that by saying that, okay, well, everything has to evolve according to a process called computation, which is essentially mechanical and follows, you know, and and more or less mirrors the structure of a touring machine, then you've got nothing, right? You you you have no understanding of reality at all. And there's no way to build reality in a comput from a computational scenario. So yeah, these guys like uh like Curtzwhile and and uh and Wolfram and other people like that that think that it's all got to be in some it's computational, they're out to lunch, right? And that's what trans transhumanism is fueled by those people and they don't have a theory. They don't have a theory of reality in which their premise works.
