Human Forever: The Digital Politics of Spiritual War (by James Poulos)
Description
The smartphone didn’t just change culture. It triggered a digital apocalypse.
In this episode of Bitcoin Study Sessions, we dive into James Poulos’ Human Forever and what the digital age is doing to the human soul.
We unpack:
• The Cyborg Theocracy — tech as God, elites as priests
• The Digital Swarm — algorithms and bots reshaping humanity beyond control
• The Death of Memory — lived experience replaced by machinic data
• Terraforming Humans — bending people to fit machines
“You can’t share being. You can only share knowing.”
We ask the real question tech avoids:
What does it mean to be human — now?
We end with Bitcoin as an anchor for dignity, memory, and censorship-resistant culture in a world pulling us apart.
