   @simonzerafa @davidgerard @jwz TESCREAL as a whole is *definitely* a religion—a very familiar looking one to those of us who weren't raised in any variety of Christianity but in another religion, and therefore get to observe Christian behaviour from outside. And I'm telling you the singularitarian/AI bros are just speedrunning the emergence of pre-Nicean Xtianity as a syncretistic evangelical faith (this time without Jesus/God but with the usual salvationist/AI uploading heaven bullshit).

     @davidgerard @jwz

     It's a cult or perhaps a religion.

     Anyone questioning the irrational beliefs of the faithful are automatically heathen unbelievers and to be shunned.

     Peter Krefting repeated this.
