Jeffrey Epstein, the Gnostic Sophia, Hanson Robotics, and Immanentizing the Eschaton: A Thread Image
My starting point for this thread was Edward Jay Epstein’s article “My Tea with Jeffrey Epstein.” I know vaguely that people are sus about EJE, but I think I believe JE said this about the Sophia robot. Image
Jeffrey Epstein “told me his main interest was cutting-edge artificial intelligence. He said that he was funding a group in Hong Kong to produce ‘the world’s smartest robot,’ which would have ‘more empathy than a woman.’” Image
that last line has been rattling around in my skull since i read it, man. Image
Obviously Epstein’s relationships with scientists are now well-known. Here’s Epstein with the “father of AI,” Marvin Minsky. ImageImage
The robot is named Sophia. She has actually become kind of famous. You might recognize her, her videos/memes have gone around social media.

I should add that I don’t buy the hype, obviously this robot is nowhere near “conscious.” ImageImage
Obviously David Hanson of Hanson Technologies denies, denies, denies any connection to Epstein.

There will be a lot more to say about David Hanson. Image
At first, I noticed some weird resonances.

In 2017, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia issued citizenship to Sophia. Recall Epstein’s mysterious passport.

And this “baby” passage felt rather Zorro Ranch to me. ImageImageImageImage
This is David Hanson, co-creator of Sophia and a man with a supremely fucked vibe.

Can’t really convey in text the weird, latent aggression of this exchange at 5:00:

“My circuits are a bit overloaded with all that. Can we just watch some cat videos for a while?”

“She’s a little chatty.” ImageImageImageImage
He is founder and CEO of Hanson Robotics: as Epstein apparently said, a Hong Kong-based technology company.

(We can see Sophia has some very evident geopolitics lol) ImageImage
🚨🚨🚨 DISNEY IMAGINEER 🚨🚨🚨 ImageImageImage
“Sophia at the Centers for Disease Control (CDC)… was simulating respirator test-fit”

This video is from 2018. ImageImage
interesting Image
hmm......... ImageImage
I cannot stress enough how disingenuously Hanson’s “nooo I take it back hehe” reads in the video. Truly an energy I have only seen matched by Bill Gates on the news.

“whattttt don’t do thattttt”

ImageImageImage
he keeps saying stuff like this Image
I also cannot stress enough how many times I have seen Sophia described as a “Hot Robot,” which I hate. calm down, CNBC ImageImage
I have already provided some evidence for Hermetic, Enochian, theurgical themes of the Jeffrey Epstein story.

I intend to do the same here for Gnostic and Kabbalistic themes.

The name Σοφία means “wisdom.” ImageImageImageImage
Sophia is the personification of Wisdom. She is frequently associated with the Holy Spirit and the related symbol of the dove. ImageImageImageImage
If you’re familiar at all with the prototypical Gnostic cosmogony, you know that Sophia is the lowest emanation of the One, whose transgression and “Fall” leads to the problem of material existence. ImageImage
In the Apocryphon of John’s rendition, Sophia retreats into a “cloud” and “[brings] forth… without acquaintance [gnosis].”

This produces her “abortion,” Yaldabaoth. ImageImageImageImage
Yaldabaoth is the demiurge, the false god who architects the material world.

Yaldabaoth is identified as the God of the Old Testament who spoke to Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. That God is associated with Saturn by Jews and Gnostics both. ImageImageImageImage
obligatory “i’m jewish” time

do remember this later too when i talk about jewish eugenicists who work for the mossad
@JimmyFalunGong and @KhristKoopa made a really engaging episode of @p2chillPodcast about Saturn & the Sabbateans, but if you’re reading this you probably already know that haha
anchor.fm/programmedtoch…
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast The esoteric significances of Sophia (the robot) go deeper than the name.

“The first model of Sophia was actually Nefertiti, the famous sculpture of Nefertiti, the ancient Egyptian African Ethiopian Queen” (lol)

ethicsincubator.net/ethics-and-tru…
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast how does such a sus interview have such a hilarious vibe ImageImageImageImage
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast also, Sophia is going to inspire girls around the world (to be robots? idgi) ImageImage
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast Made me think of this video by @ericapostam

@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam Worth mentioning perhaps that Nefertiti was wife to Akhenaten, whose religious revolution briefly reduced the Egyptian pantheon to only Aten, the sun disc. This was the first “solar monotheism” in the world. ImageImageImageImage
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam The supposed Egyptian magician Hermes Trismegistus wrote about the making of automata.

Frances Yates was criticized for overemphasizing this in the "Hermetic tradition" but she seems kinda vindicated, at least here lol ImageImageImage
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam Hanson: “If we can use AI to the maximum of its potential it can bring out the best of human potential. We can use AI to actualize human individuals and the human as a civilization.” ImageImageImageImage
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam I want to introduce one more character: Hanson Robotics chief scientist, Ben Goertzel.

A man who named his first son Zarathustra and considers his profession a “black art.” ImageImageImage
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam Goertzel is also CEO and founder of SingularityNET, ––great name, guys–– a unitary system to consolidate all AI, born of “collective will” –– its “triumph,” presumably.

And Hanson is co-founder. ImageImageImageImage
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam “The Singularity” as a concept was first coined by von Neumann, but I want to look at an influential definition by I. J. “Jack” Good.

Good worked under Alan Turing breaking the Enigma code. He was Kubrick’s supercomputer consultant on 2001. ImageImageImageImage
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam His “intelligence explosion” theory predicted AIs communicating amongst themselves and thus improving themselves without humans. This sounds very much like something SingularityNET would facilitate. Image
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam A New Age, eh?

for Sophia, the Holy Spirit…

what would Joachim say? ImageImageImageImage
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam A very famous reception of Joachim’s tripartite scheme was Arthur Moeller van den Bruck’s Das Dritte Reich (1923).

MvdB killed himself two years later. He would not see the immanentization of his supposedly “transcendent,” “philosophical” Third Reich. ImageImageImageImage
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam For what it’s worth, Joachim was also a major influence on Columbus, cited by name many times in his Book of Prophecies…

Incidentally, Columbus means “dove”

(recall: Columbus, OH) ImageImageImageImage
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam Let’s get back on track here.

What is SingularityNET for?

Goertzel explains.

(As I suggested above, this technology would seemingly be necessary for Good's "information explosion" scenario.) ImageImageImageImage
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam i hope you read the text in the previous tweet. i hope you read the words

“robot mind cloud”

and

“large, peaceful army” ImageImageImageImage
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam We saw before that Gnostic Sophia’s story plays the “fallen woman” trope, not coincidentally similar to Eve’s.

In "On the Origin of the World", Eve descends from Sophia as mapped in this emanatory scheme: ImageImageImageImage
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam Goertzel tells us that Sophia’s name was previously “Eva.”

The emanation from Sophia to Eve is part of the creation of the world.

To reverse that process would be to un-create it. ImageImageImageImage
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam cool photo guys. awesome stuff ImageImage
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam The emanatory chain of the Kabbalah is the Tree of Life.

Its highest node, Kether, “The Crown,” is totally numinous, ineffable, transcendent.

Its lowest, Malkuth, “The Kingdom,” is the material world. ImageImage
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam In the Kabbalistic cosmogony, the emanations begin with Kether and descend to Malkuth, just as the One descends to Sophia.

To go back up would be to depart from the material world; not to be born, but to transcend, to die. Image
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam Beyond Kether? Ain. Nothingness.

It all returns to nothing…
It just keeps tumbling down, tumbling down, tumbling down… ImageImage
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam The Tree of Life is, after all, literally a network of virtues: i.e., a virtual network. ImageImageImageImage
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam When these people talk about a “Singularity,” I can’t help but imagine it taking us into a “fully virtual world,” i.e., a world whose substance is “nothingness.” Whatever that means. ImageImageImageImage
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam I’ll note that Gnosticism is sometimes called an influence on Kabbalah, though not necessarily in the direct, genealogical sense. ImageImage
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam Gnosticism is usually stereotyped as “anticosmic” or “world-rejecting.”

In the historical study of Gnostic sects in the first centuries after Christ, we ought to be a bit more nuanced.

However, I do think we see this general tendency espoused by our tech overlords. Image
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam The relationship of demiurge and Sophia is inverted here, too.

In the Gnostic cosmogony, Sophia gives birth to Yaldabaoth. Here, the demiurge––literally the craftsman, the worker, the artificer––has made Sophia. ImageImage
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam And Yaldabaoth, remember, corresponds to Saturn. Meaning the role of Saturn belongs to Sophia’s “creators” ––

Saturnine theurgy? ImageImageImageImage
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam Given all I’ve said about Saturn & Judaism, and Epstein/Maxwells’ involvement with the Mossad, it’s time to discuss the supposed “Jewish State” of Israel. ImageImage
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam As you well know, there are many apocalyptic prophecies about the Jewish people and the Holy Land, and they have been politically influential. ImageImage
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam When the First Crusade began, a wave of antisemitic violence swept east across Europe as the People’s Crusade headed toward the Holy Land. It was time for Jews to convert or die. Image
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam Those pogroms have often been called a precursor to the Holocaust.

And of course the Nazis leaned hard into the “Teutonic Crusader” archetype. ImageImageImageImage
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam I contend that the Holocaust (lit. “The Combustion”) constituted a transmutation of my people in the alchemical crucible of Europe. ImageImageImageImage
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam Simply put, the Yiddish-speaking shtetl Jews of Europe were the victims of the Holocaust.

The Hebrew-speaking, “muscular” Sabras of Israel were not. ImageImageImageImage
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam (I’m not saying Yiddish Jews/Holocaust survivors didn’t settle in Israel––they did––but arguing that the Holocaust produced a new, “artificial” identity for Jews, with pre-WWII antecedents, but not nearly the scale or legitimacy. Much written on this - not out on a limb here.)
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam (Nor could a Holocaust survivor ever be a Sabra, as a Sabra is a Jew born in Palestine)
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam Given what we know about Dulles, Paperclip, Gladio, etc., I think it’s quite fair to say that the aggressors Israel “protects Jews from” & Israel’s besties are not so far removed.

US buddies in Germany carried out a genocide - the US got a foothold in the Middle East out of it. ImageImage
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam Of course, the “reason for Israel” has now transformed into canards about “Islamo-Fascism,” while reunited Germany is Israel’s 2nd biggest trading partner.

I can’t speak to intent, only results! ImageImageImageImage
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam Counter-intuitive as it may sound, “Jewish eugenics” is an organizing idea here.

Max Nordau was cofounder of the Zionist Organization with Theodor Herzl.

He coined the idea of “muscular Judaism,” and authored a book called “Degeneration” (1892-3). ImageImageImage
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam Today, the prototype of the “muscular Jew” is the Israeli Sabra. Image
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam There is an unavoidable parallel between the racial ideology of Nazi Germany and the racial ideology of the state it produced: Israel.

Of course, it is this ideology that upholds the system of racial apartheid in the Israel settler colony. ImageImage
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam But it also gets bylines in the New York Times.

theguardian.com/media/2019/dec…
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam Anyways, the clear intersect here is the interest of Israel’s golden boy, Jeffrey Epstein, in transhumanism/eugenics.

Picture the “network” of his genes spreading sexually through the population, the “tree” of his “seed” - the “seed of Seth?” ImageImageImageImage
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam I argue that “Jewish eugenics” can exist today precisely because the new “muscular” Zionist identity was produced by the Nazi Holocaust. It is in the image of its creators. Image
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam We also can’t forget that the Anglo occupation of Palestine is literally the onslaught of Gog and Magog. ImageImageImageImage
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam Sidebar: Dubya with the head fake….. how’s this for “strategery” 😉 ImageImageImageImage
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam al-Aqsa Mosque used to be the Templar headquarters in Jerusalem. They called it “Solomon’s Temple.” ImageImageImageImage
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam We could say the US-Israel “special relationship” realizes Columbus’s goal for America: to play a crucial role securing Jerusalem for the West.

The Iron Dome bills are the “gold and spice” Columbus hoped would fund the Last Crusade Image
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam s/o to the political cartoonist at the Tehran Times Image
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam Some Haredi groups like the Satmars and the Neturei Karta reject Zionism.

As you can see, this has a strong moral dimension, but there’s also a theological one:

Jews are forbidden to preempt the coming of the Messiah. The state of Israel exists in rebellion against G-d. ImageImageImageImage
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam We observed a similar phenomenon with Moeller van den Bruck in Germany.

Forcing that which intended for the "hereafter" manifest in our physical existence?

This is commonly known as “immanentizing the eschaton.” ImageImage
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam they’re literally gearing up to build the Third Temple ffs

i did not know this when i started this thread!

@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam To sum up:

Jeffrey Epstein “didn’t” fund the creation of an “army” of automata immanentizing the Gnostic Sophia in a Kabbalistic equation for the “un-birth” of the world into nothingness. ImageImageImageImage
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam The exoteric purpose of Sophia and “SingularityNET” is to establish full communication between all AI. From a perspective of material analysis alone this is very concerning. ImageImage
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam Since 1099 or earlier, “the West” has been obsessed with the eschatological conquest of Jerusalem. The only difference today is that we are a century-and-change into the reign of Gog and Magog in the Holy Land. ImageImage
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam The “purpose of America,” going back to Columbus, has always been the pursuit of the millennium at Jerusalem. The state of Israel is an immanentization of the eschaton. ImageImage
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam Epstein, the Maxwells, etc. perfectly emblematize this, existing at the intersection of the US, UK, and Israel. And let’s not forget the historical link between espionage and esotericism… ImageImageImageImage
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam Virtual networks, trafficking networks, spy networks. ImageImageImageImage
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam Were I a better Jew I would have something else to end this with. With apologies to my grandparents, I’m ripping off Jim Douglass to quote Thomas Merton. What Merton says here about Christians, I think, is totally generalizable. ImageImageImageImage
@JimmyFalunGong @KhristKoopa @p2chillPodcast @ericapostam End of thread 🧿

Hello, everyone. I’ve noticed a recent uptick of interest in Massimo lntrovigne & CESNUR, not to mention the unexpected response to my tweet about political difficulties in a certain related field…

I think it’s finally time I share my research with you.

Massimo lntrovigne is the director of the Centro Studi sulle Nuovi Religioni (CESNUR), a “religious liberty” think tank based in Turin, Italy, and editor-in-chief of “Bitter Winter,” an online magazine about “religious liberty in China” and more. ImageImage

my program at the u. of amsterdam has something of a “nazi problem” (yes, it’s esoteric studies), but when i asked the head of my department to consider screening for that kind of thing in admissions, i was told very sternly the government doesn’t allow that. this is fine though.
either way you slice it every european is hitler
me: this program has a nazi problem
this guy: sounds awesome! where can i sign up?

FaustBook Pro: The Empirical, The Imperial, and The Empyrean - A Thread Image
A little spontaneous but I’d like to share some of my own thoughts about Faustus, Prospero, and John Dee. A fable for the age of technological enchantment.

There is a clear & intentional analogue between the characters of Faustus and Prospero. Their names mean the same thing. Compare the last lines of these two soliloquies. I’ll come back to those.
