Somebody tell me if there's a non-religious, non-musk techno(/transhumanist)-cult. They can have my head to cryopreserve and test with.

It's either that, or mole people for me. But I half expect them to charge expensive rent after hearing the prices for that one building in Alaska (Whittier).

Let me know if you find one. I’m down to join a cult if it has free rent. No furries do not count.

Gotta be real with you, you’re going to have trouble finding a non religious non-musk transhumanist techno cult without furries.

Have you considered joining the Legion of Trekkies?

[–] assembly@lemmy.world 4 points 5 months ago (1 children)

The trekkies are giving me shit for liking Discovery man. I’m going to start my own Trekkie cult and push for a 6th season!

I'm a Trekkie who likes Discovery. You're welcome on our Lemmy.world Star Trek subs. After all, we have my fellow treasured mod Stamets got his name from Discovery.

Ah, fuck. I can't believe you've done this.

If you just mean a cult in general (or furry molepeople?), no.

For cryo/cyborg, that might be somehow a step better than billionaire involvement, but still really questionable. Probably not though, too personal and not something that I'd expect to work out for me (I am a shut-in). I mean unless it was like some weird med-sci student or gayspacecommune thing that just has a lot of furries as a secondary thing.

I could see having my brain hooked up to some kind of drone body or even emplaced (some sort of station, also in either case I'd still want sensory information), so I would expect my social life to go unchanged. If living roombas could have personal lives in the future, I don't think I would not be one of them.

Look, you're early on the transhumanist cult, that's the long and short of it. You can hop on the early-adopter Musk train, or you can wait a couple decades for the real talent with staying power.
