Human Forever: The Digital Politics of Spiritual War (by James Poulos)

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. 🎧 Listen. 📚 Remember. 🔥 Stay human.
