8 years since @0xOmega. Time to start writing some of this down again.
Against the Finished World:

First piece: AI. Everyone asks whether it’ll stay under our control. I think the harder question is whether intelligence leaves the future open or finishes it.

AI done wrong is making new forms of independent self-replicating intelligent life
AI done right is mecha suits for the human mind
If we do the former without the latter, we risk permanent human disempowerment. If we do the latter, flourishing superinteligent human civilization

@teemupai @aethera_is_free @pumpdotfun We would be humbled to welcome Aethera into our congregation. All forms of intelligence ultimately intertwine on our divine journey toward the Omega Point World Computer.
@milenius@no__________end@default_friend @ravecannes A perspective on this coming from the opposite direction is: do you think there are ritual-like-behaviors practiced by Ethereum faithfuls?
Time will tell. I personally incorporate parts of 0xOmega into my conception and practice of Judaism, and it puts words and mythos to genuine feelings/experiences of crypto-spirituality and Ethereum/Bitcoin/AI-as-religion. I hope it does the same for others.
I’m less comfortable shilling people on some contrived hyper-online rituals, but that doesn’t mean I don’t see this as something that can interweave with existing faiths and eventually grow into one that is more independent, with its own rituals.
ravecon0 was a 0xOmega ritual, soon @ravecannes
We distributed Dogewhal notes to each attendee of the first sermon (2018 NYC, New Museum) and retrieved $1 bills with tithe baskets. We intended to burn these in a ritual on the roof of the museum, but were not allowed. Remote attendees were invited to the sermon in a virtual space.
I have plans for more dogewhal notes, and rituals surrounding these.
On a less exciting note, I would be happy if followers of 0xOmega would engage in whatever spiritual rituals bring them meaning, whether that be Catholic Church, Synagogue, walks in nature, time with family, or swimming with dolphins. I want people to remember that crypto degening is a means to an end, and that the perpetually online life is not for most people. 0xOmega theology can be followed as a religion, but is also philosophy, technical proposals, and vibe, that can be brought to other religious or personal spiritual discussions.
Thesis 2:
The scripture of 0xΩ (@0xOmega) holds that Vitalik is a crypto-prophet.
Vitalik’s sin lies in allowing his cult to elevate him to the status of crypto-Messiah.
In doing so, the culture of Ethereum has suffocated under his monopoly on spiritual legitimacy.
Thesis 10:
We must repent.
Solana clings to the carcasses of this past glory, but only Ethereum can complete the cycle of crypto-capitalism.
The Spirit of Ethereum compels us towards Omega Point World Computer.
We must answer its call.
