#HumanForever is out now in paperback. Canada and GoFundMe dramatize why I wrote it, published it on chain, and priced it in bitcoin. Our political life is being obsolesced—to terraform our natural and God-given humanity into a collectivist cyborg swarm. canonic.xyz/books/1YV9yExb…
Neither paralysis nor wars of words or dreams will save us. Our sacred and natural humanity, and the digital rights inherent in it, must be actively, physically preserved. We must retake rightful technological control—the aim of a #2ndAmendmentforCompute.
Our rights to mine, buy, sell, and use bitcoin and cryptocurrency to create culture and markets; to buy and use high-powered GPUs; and to do so free from enclosure in a social credit system of perpetual search and arbitrary seizure—all inhere in our Constitution and our humanity.
“Tech” is not the foe, even in human enhancement or advancement. As tool and weapon it inheres in our natural and sacred human life. But both are used to wage not only physical but spiritual war. And digital entities’ world conquest retrieves reality’s theological character.
These infinite, invisible, interoperable entities behave as, until a few years ago, only angels and demons were thought to behave. Their triumph raises ultimate questions—about why to bother being human and suffering our humanity—that human imagination can’t sufficiently answer.
As a result, modern and postmodern justifications for our humanity and existence are collapsing. All now rush for salvation into the arms of gods or idols. All civilization states that are digital powers rush to refound their sovereignty on their deepest theological grounds.
That makes a special burden and challenge for America, barred from establishing a religion—yet deeply vulnerable to the establishment of a religion, like the one our regime’s rulers are establishing, that masquerades as the ideology of ethicists or the best practices of engineers
Their religions abandon the sacred character of our given humanity. They squabble over recondite creedal details but their diverse subgods and idols converge on posthuman cyborg collectivism. Today these are the terms of the digital politics of spiritual war. A war we can win.
Victory comes by defense of our inherent digital rights and recovery of people’s competence to apply our deepest wisdom about our identity to the control and use of our most powerful technologies. Bitcoin, among them, people can use right now, as I published #HumanForever to show
We are human and had better get good at it: no shortcuts, no substitutes. The glory that befits a good people must run through the humility of accepting responsibility—a word that teaches its grammar in the theological character of our inescapable reality:
