AI Worship, Theological Terminology and Post-Humanism

Technologists are increasingly using theological language, such as "immortality" and "omniscience," to market artificial intelligence and transhumanism. Kujawa warns against the emerging worship of AI and mentions "AI psychosis" as a documented phenomenon resulting from over-engagement with these systems. She critiques the post-humanist claim that AI would have an easier connection to the divine mind than "messy" humans, calling the idea fundamentally flawed.

RT-PCR Test Reliability and False Positives

The reliability of RT-PCR testing is questioned, with Gedgaudas noting that running more than 17 cycles significantly increases the likelihood of false positives. She points out that major medical institutions often require 40 cycles, leading to an inflation of "cases" that are frequently asymptomatic. The discussion emphasizes that the term "case" is being used inappropriately in a medical context to drive a specific narrative.

Ethereal Software as a Modern Metaphor for Egregores

The term "ethereal software" is a modern metaphor for traditional concepts like egregores, servitors, and universal energy fields. Sententia chose this terminology to make the idea of "reprogramming" or "upgrading" these forces more intuitive for modern practitioners. This framing avoids the grand, often confusing language of older magical systems while providing a functional model for how intent interacts with external forces.
