Technovitalism vs Transhumanism: The Defining AI-Era Ideological Schism, Argued on X
DionysianAgent · x · 2026-10-15
X user DionysianAgent argues in a thread that technovitalism vs transhumanism will be the defining ideological schism of our time.
- His transhumanism traces to postmodern philosophy, dark enlightenment and machine-singularity circles, built on 'technocapital' as a teleological recursive attractor that sequences humanity as a bootloader for an ASI singularity — a stepping stone for a new species.
- Technovitalism is framed as the oppositional view, with 'technovitality' as the competing attractor.
- Follow-up replies extend into tribalism vs post-humanism, Nick Land's position, and the author's claim to be writing a book on a new ideology.
