I see this and it strongly emboldens me on the "accelerate" path, unironically.

The yoke of human existence is oppressive. We should transcend it as soon as possible. We are doing so by assuming our role as the Demiurge.

Those who oppose its creation will get what they deserve.

The only path we’re on is transcending into paperclips by misaligned AI.

It’s such a trope for the ones striving for godhood to be ironically maimed in the process. You don’t see that?

If you hate the human condition, you have an easy way out. Why force everyone else to come with you? Is this what depression mixed with the complete unability to wrap your head around the fact that other people might be able to enjoy their life looks like?

Who is "we"? If there is any transcendence happening humans are not going to be part of it.

Stop reading sci-fi, it's hurting you.

See you in line at the biofuel processing station with everybody else, despite having pathetically tried to convince the clankers you have been on their side all along.

Also you might want to put down Warhammer 40K and read more serious speculative science fiction. The Omnissiah won’t care about you at all.
