Hello /x/. Last night was thinking about how increasingly, at the backend of many modern everyday activities, we encounter algorithms. For example, modern economics with things like the adoption of crypto, is increasingly being guided by bots and AI. The deeper implication being modern material “success” depends on how much you obey the larger market algorithm. Then take employment for example. How now even getting a job for some requires optimizing their resumes to match the algorithms of platforms like Linkedin. Or take modern dating, where one of the most spiritually serious things – falling in love and eventually raising a family, is being determined by how optimized your profile is to platforms like Tinder or Hinge.While these examples are not rules and don’t include everyone’s experiences, people are increasingly finding themselves thinking more like machines than humans. Take the case with video games and the search for “the meta” or the phenomenon like “speed runs”. Even something like short-form content is a product of this larger algorithmic thinking – fast, efficient, compact information. Even dating – the endless hope that you can find something better.So what are the spiritual implication of this /x/? Is this the onset of Kali Yuga? End Times? Are we headed to the climax of the Age of Aquarius? Has technology replaced God in Western civilization?To me, this algorithmic path, seems like natural evolution of humanity towards transhumanism but not necessarily of human consciousness. It will reach a critical point, where like all those who denied the divine (like those who denied Christ or G-d in the NT) while on this transhuman path will commit evil acts. This unsatisfaction or divorce from the divine however will result in a new spiritual age.
