The Stargate is Open

Enter the sand gods

People fear artificial intelligence for all sorts of reasons. To me, it’s not a matter of “fear” so much as profound disdain. I don’t foresee AI itself going rogue and killing everyone. I see human beings using AI to destroy cultural heritage and spiritual connection. Such technologies are paving a road to dehumanization and the Greater Replacement. Developers justify this transformation as “necessary” due an AI arms race they created.

It’s not that I don’t take the supposed existential risks seriously. Anything is possible. But the most immediate threats are mass surveillance coupled with psychological and behavioral manipulation; unchecked AI-dependency leading to human atrophy; and wherever people are deemed obsolete, we’ll see the replacement of white and blue collar workers by algorithms and robots.

All of that is happening now, and fast.

To keep China from taking the lead, we’re told, America must build better digital gods than China. It’s like your preacher insisting that for Christians to inherit the earth, they’ve gotta become more satanic than the Devil.

Watching President Trump embrace AI over the past year has been a disappointment, but not wholly unexpected. I’ve written about the conservative case for a transhuman future in my book and in numerous articles. For years, I’ve covered right-wing tech accelerationism on the War Room, even if the Posse didn’t want to hear it. To his credit, Steve Bannon backed me the entire way, regardless of the political friction it caused. Transhumanism never jived with his Catholic faith or his Irish defiance.

Politics involves a lot of trade-offs, so I voted for Trump despite the downsides. It had to happen. On his first day in office, the president signed a stack of executive orders that signaled his commitment to keeping his promises. Trump empowered real border security, killed federal DEI, and forbid the government from suppressing free speech. He also pardoned the unfairly prosecuted J6 rioters. This saved a close friend from rotting in prison, and for that, I’m forever grateful.
