Spiritual Materialism

We have entered a new age after the dawn of the industrial revolution and access to cheap energy. We now, for the first time in thousands of years, have enough stuff for everyone. No longer does man need to struggle against man because his ideology must consume through theft to survive. Now, regardless of how spiritually inefficient a system, we can all agree, we have enough for everyone to be happy, and that is the pinnacle of utopia.

We may be spiritually bankrupt, but the technology we have developed is now so powerful we can free ourselves from the enslavement of hate and parasitism.

Soon the revolution of eternal life will also be fulfilled. For the first time ever, technology will enable us to extend our lives faster than we are using it up. Computation, nanotechnology, and biotechnology will set us free from the shackles of death. Once confined to living forever only in thought and words, we can now live forever in its most literal sense. A power greater than the Gods, for we have access to the material world for eternity.

This era has already begun, and you are a part of it; how will you come to know the truth?
