> RUSSIAN COSMISM: The Forgotten Ideology That Wanted to Conquer Death Itself> Before transhumanists, before Elon, before anyone was talking about “uploading consciousness” or “escaping the simulation,” there were the Russian Cosmists.Late 19th century Russia. Frozen empire, starving peasants, and a bunch of Orthodox mystics start writing about mankind’s duty to resurrect every dead human who ever lived — literally — through science and reason.Nikolai Fyodorov, the mad prophet of this movement, said death was humanity’s greatest injustice. He called for a “Common Task”: to unify all knowledge and technology to defeat death, resurrect the dead, and colonize the stars to give everyone space to live again.Konstantin Tsiolkovsky — the father of spaceflight — read Fyodorov and took him seriously. That’s why the Soviet space program had this strange religious vibe: it wasn’t just about rockets, it was about salvation through technology.Cosmism is like Christianity on steroids: resurrection not as a miracle, but as an engineering project. The universe not as exile, but as home.While the West turned inward, the Russians looked at the stars and said:“We will not die. We will bring back our ancestors. We will take the universe for humanity.”Call it insane, messianic, or divine — but it’s the only ideology that ever aimed for literal immortality and universal resurrection.

Funny hearing about the forgotten movements though Futurismo is a funny oneGerman romanticism, sorta more well known
>>521081225The problem with a lot of this stuff on both sides is that it's difficult to tell whether it was sincere or an op in the decades-long dick-waving contest between the US and the USSR.How legit is this?
>>521082388It's legit, but resurrection and the like was just one branch of it. The USSR space program was born from this movement somewhere down the line, it's actually pretty interesting.Look at this, for example:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Bogdanov#Later_years_and_death
