transhumanism

Transhumanism is an international and intellectual movement that aims to transform the human condition by developing and creating widely available sophisticated technologies to greatly enhance human intellectual, physical, and psychological capacities.

The Last Fortress
The Final Frontier of Privacy For centuries, the human mind has been the only place where true freedom existed. No matter how oppressive a regime was, or how invasive a technology became, your thoughts were yours alone. They were the "Last Fortress"—a sanctuary of private dreams, silent rebellions, and unspoken loves.

10 Mind-Blowing Space Stories School Never Told You
For many of us (especially if you grew up watching Star Trek), space truly feels like the final frontier. Sure, school taught us about planets, gravity, and maybe a little about rockets. But what we got was just a glimpse of the safe, simplified version.

AI as a Reflective Surface
Much of the confusion surrounding artificial intelligence comes from treating it as an agent rather than a surface. When people speak about AI “doing the thinking,” “creating the ideas,” or “speaking for someone,” they are often projecting agency onto a system that does not possess intention, belief, or understanding. This projection obscures what is actually happening in many real-world uses. In those cases, AI is not acting as a source of meaning, but as a surface that reflects, redirects, and reshapes what is already present.

Ai Is Not the Villain
There is a growing anxiety surrounding artificial intelligence that feels both familiar and misplaced. Everywhere you look people are panicking about Ai “talking to itself,” replacing workers, making decisions humans shouldn’t relinquish, or eventually turning against us. The fear is louder than Skynet, theatrical, and often deeply emotional but when you listen closely; it becomes clear that much of this fear is not actually about Ai at all. It is about power, control, trust, and a long history of human systems failing the very people they were supposed to protect.

Robots Don’t Need Jobs. They Need Bodies.. AI-Generated.
I keep seeing the same mistake repeated in conversations about AI. Everyone assumes the next breakthrough will come from smarter models, faster chips, or humanoid robots that finally work outside lab demos.

Exploring the Vast Universe of Perry Rhodan
I first stumbled upon Perry Rhodan on a rainy Saturday afternoon in a tiny secondhand bookstore in Berlin. I wasn’t looking for it—I was just hiding from the cold—but the neon orange spines on the shelf called to me like a secret. I picked up the first issue and found myself staring at a cover depicting gleaming spaceships, alien landscapes, and a man who somehow looked both heroic and terrified.

About Binding Prometheus. Top Story - January 2026.
I want to start actively advocating on behalf of my own work, and the most valuable part of my canon is, without a doubt, Binding Prometheus, the play I have been working on since 2019 and only finished in 2023 as part of my MA. The play itself is an amalgamation of a million different inspirations. On one end, it evokes the Ancient Greek myth-play, deriving its own title from the earliest extant work of Western drama we have, Aeschylus’s Prometheus Bound. On the other end, it borrows significantly from the sci-fi bulwarks from over the years, namely Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Karel Capek’s Rossum’s Universal Robots. The play could be an episode of Black Mirror, I fear. I don’t know. I’ve only ever seen one episode of Black Mirror.

Divorcing Humanity: My Journey to Dating AI
I had an outline, specific points I wanted to touch on when I started this segment, but then, well, life happened. And by “life,” I mean the glorious chaos of 2025 humanity, which keeps giving me more examples than I could ever hope to catalog. So, let’s be honest: I probably misplaced my original notes, but fear not! My heart and mind (and a rapidly growing collection of grievances) are overflowing with content. Because, dear readers, y’all keep showing me how humanity really is in 2025, and frankly, the sight isn’t exactly pretty. It’s more of a cautionary tale, really.

Stereo and Crimes of the Future
"Jomkin suggests that there must evolve a novel sexuality for a new species of man." — Crimes of the Future Before he became the cinematic master of body horror, David Cronenberg was an experimental student filmmaker who turned out works very much in line with the same sort of fixations explored almost exclusively by J.G. Ballard, whose Crash he later adapted into a film, in 1997. His early films, his first two, Stereo (1969) and Crimes of the Future (1970), explore film technique in documenting the huge, yawning architectural environment of an unspecified hospital or research facility, relegating the performers of the film to almost being secondary actors in a drama defined by geometrical shape—relegating them to the roles of insectile life, pursuing strange, even inscrutable actions, ostensibly being filmed by the watchful, clinical, and coldly detached robotic eye of the viewer, who becomes the de facto research assistant to the director, who seems to have made this film by asking his performers to improvise within the framework of derangement. What was he exploring? one wonders. The environment itself dwarfs the humanity of the filmic subjects, overpowering them in its specter of geometrical dominance and dimension.
