It tells a lot about the pitiful spiritual state of the Anglo-Saxon world that Karl Jaspers — the greatest thinker of the XX century, to whom is comparable only Edmund Husserl — is almost completely ignored by it.

In most cases, one's spiritual growth is possible only via so-called borderline situations. This is one of the truths of existentialism. The same is with the whole of humanity: we have to experience a deep crisis, even a catastrophe to become existentially awakened and start growing up again.
The soul—transcendental subjectivity (freewill and causal structures) that projects all phenomenal objectivity subjectively and intersubjectively—isn't created by the abstract "nature", nor it can be created by man in a machine, for it is eternally "created" by Transcendence, God. Now, forever now.
The normalization of all kinds of perversions by the decadent culture of the West leads to the normalization of the ultimate perversion—the blasphemous idea of sentient AI, the Antichrist. Why is it blasphemous? Because the soul—transcendental subject—is rooted in Transcendence, it is forever "created" by God.
Помни, что мирская наука, соединившись в великую силу, разобрала, в последний век особенно, все, что завещано в книгах святых нам небесного, и после жестокого анализа у ученых мира сего не осталось изо всей прежней святыни решительно ничего. Но разбирали они по частям, а целое просмотрели, и даже удивления достойно, до какой слепоты. Тогда как целое стоит пред их же глазами незыблемо, как и прежде, и врата адовы не одолеют его. Разве не жило оно девятнадцать веков, разве не живет и теперь в движениях единичных душ и в движениях народных масс? Даже в движениях душ тех же самых, все разрушивших атеистов живет оно, как прежде, незыблемо! Ибо и отрекшиеся от христианства и бунтующие против него в существе своем сами того же самого Христова облика суть, таковыми же и остались, ибо до сих пор ни мудрость их, ни жар сердца их не в силах были создать иного высшего образа человеку и достоинству его, как образ, указанный древле Христом. А что было попыток, то выходили одни лишь уродливости.
— Достоевский
The philosophical argument against Nazism is that all sentient beings are ontologically identical transcendental subjects rooted in Transcendence, brothers and sisters in God, differ only their transient phenomenal self-representations (bodies, etc.); hence, Nazism is ontologically absurd.

If we want to reform our insane world, we have to go to the root of all problems—to our erroneous understanding of the nature of the empirical reality of phenomenal consciousness. We will not reform the world unless we get rid of the pseudoscientific metaphysical mythology of materialism (physicalism). The myth of "physical matter" must die.

If it’s from the established media you’re not getting the full story. And you are being purposely misled.

Transcendence of all religions is the same Transcendence experienced by their mystics/yogins, differ only their conceptual objectifications of Transcendence, which can't be objectified in principle. Philosophical faith is the bridge between all religions.
“Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.” — Arthur C. Clarke
If that's the case, then #AI is black magic. The Antichrist.
Man cannot live only for himself and serve only himself. If he does not have the true God, he creates false gods for himself. He wanted freedom from God, but fell into cruel bondage to false gods, to idols.
— Berdyaev

Every man on Earth must watch this film and ring the alarm.
As always, I have to emphasize that the greatest danger of #AI is not the destruction of humanity, but the enslavement, for a horrible end (hence a new beginning) is better that endless horror.
We can only hope that a major solar flare kills all electronic infrastructure and resets our civilization, for even if we stop BigTech, we won't stop the Pentagon. There's no solution to this problem. The rise of AI the Antichrist is inevitable. We must get ready to fight it.
Карма. Когда снайперы вашего Правого Сектора расстреливали протестующих на Майдане чтобы спровоцировать эскалацию насилия и госпереворот, когда вы жгли русских в Одессе, когда вы восемь лет бомбили, пытали, насиловали и убивали русских на Донбассе, вы делали вид, что это нормально, что так и надо, что это орки, с ними можно. Мой дед, этнический украинец из украинской деревни, ненавидел вас, поклонников Бандеры, так же, как он ненавидел нацистов, с которыми воевал, и я теперь понимаю его очень хорошо. Всего этого можно было избежать, всего-лишь нужно было не идти на поводу у США и ваших неонацистов, всего-лишь отказаться от насилия, всего-лишь выполнять Минские соглашения, но вам же мало мира, вам еще нужны русские исторические земли, наш Крым, наш Донбасс, вы же хотели реванша, вооружались, готовились, но не успели ударить первыми, слава Богу. Иначе резали бы сейчас русских в Донецке и Луганске и снова делали бы вид, что так и надо, это же орки. В общем, насилие ужасно, но не Россия открыла этот ящик пандоры, а вы на Майдане, в Одессе и на Донбассе в 2014 году.
How arrogant and self-assured Baerbock is condemning Brazil for not joining the imperial proxy war against Russia. Meanwhile, the evil US-NATO empire she represents is a collapsing colossus with feet of clay, no one wants to participate in its fall. So fuck Baerbock and fuck them all.
For quite a long time I cincerely hoped that Greta Thunberg is the beginning of a new constructive youth movement our self-destructive civilization desperately needs, but she appeared to be just a silly girl easily manipulated by the evil elites. Those who follow her are of the same kind. Alas.
Man ceases to believe that he can protect himself by dissociating himself from others through rationalist thinking, humanist morality, formal law, liberalism, democracy, and parliament. All these forms reveal only a deep division in humanity, a disunity, a lack of a united spirit, they are all forms of legalized separation, agreements to leave one another alone, unwilling to choose the Truth.
— Berdyaev
The worship of Mammon has become the determining force of the age ... and this undisguised “mammonism” is regarded as an attainment to the knowledge of truth and a release from illusions. Thus economic materialism brands the whole spiritual life of man as a deception and a dream.
— Berdyaev
One of the last things great Karl Jaspers said was that it is better to have a nuclear war than a dictatorship. Agree. We'd rather start a nuclear war than allow the globalization of the evil US-NATO empire, for such an unnatural order, in which true pluralism and liberty will cease to exist for countless centuries, can be stabilized only by terror and AI-panopticon. A horrible end (hence a new beginning) is better than endless horror. Either the US-NATO empire stops the expansion and dies naturally as all previous empires did, or we will destroy it.
German tanks are burning on Russian land. Again. We should have never allowed the reunification of #Germany and the withdrawal of our troops from it. We should have never believed their lies about the non-expansion of #NATO and the Minsk agreements. Ungrateful scum.
