Russian cosmism is a philosophical and cultural movement     that emerged in Russia at the turn of the 19th century, and again, at the beginning of the 20th century.   Russian Cosmism, is a highly controversial and oxymoronic blend of activist speculation, futuristic traditionalism, religious science, exoteric esotericism, utopian pragmatism, idealistic materialism-higher magic partnered to higher mathematics.  Main themes in Russian Cosmist thought include the active human role in human and cosmic evolution; the creation of new life forms, including a new level of humanity; the unlimited extension of human longevity to a state of practical immortality; the physical resurrection of the dead; serious scientific research into matters long considered subjects fit only for science fiction, occult, and esoteric literature; the exploration and colonization ofthe entire cosmos; the emergence on our biosphere of a new sphere of human thought called the "noosphere"; and other...

We must value Marxism and Anarchism, but move beyond Marxism and Anarchism in order for alt-centrism to progress humanity. We must move beyond Marx in regard to socialism as the next evolutionary stage of humanity. In Marxism, there was never the revolutionary potential of a workers’ movement due to the training of workers to adapt to industrial life rather than overthrow it. Marx believed that the factory would be the embryo of the worker’s revolution but this is mere adaptation to the capitalist system rather than transformation. For the next stage of evolutionary development, revolutionaries should relate to each other as citizens who have many roles in social life.  No longer dependent on a means of relating to one another as class or economic citizen but as whole persons. This idea of citizenship is not to be contained to conventional political arbitrations of who is a citizen and who is not a citizen. Instead we should think of ourselves as citizens of Heaven and Earth. When ...

Science fiction offers the intersection of utopian politics as well as theological questions. The continued development of technology poses serious complications for utopian society and religious conviction. Thankfully science fiction is the perfect place to deal with these questions. Just as philosophers dream up thought experiments to test certain principles we explore the mysteries posed by science fiction politics and theology.  Interestingly, the examples of utopian literature are themselves forms of science fiction. Even from one of the first utopian stories, The Republic by Plato was the first work of world literature to envisage an ideal state, and to lay down concrete parameters as to the activities of each and every class within society. Then Utopia by Thomas More (1516) of course! Eponymous founder of the genre; brilliant mixture of satire, political idealism, and obfuscation of the author's own views. More's book has been seen by some as an attempt to justify coloni...

Technofeminism Technofeminism is a culturally extremely progressive, transhumanist and usually left wing ideology which deems technology as the ultimate equalizer of gender and therefore that transhumanism is something that should be embraced and encouraged by feminists in search of total equality. TechnoFeminism  is a book by academic sociologist Judy Wajcman about the role that gender plays in technology. The book reframes the relationship between gender and technologies, and presents a feminist reading of the woman-machine relationship. It is considered a key contributor to the rise of feminist technoscience as a field. Feminist technoscience  is a transdiscriplinary branch of science studies which emerged from decades of feminist critique on the way gender and other identity markers are entangled in the combined fields of science and technology. The term technoscience especially in regard to the field of feminist technoscience studies, se...
