Some visits were rougher than others, but I always came out on top. As a young stagehand, I was slinging steel at Eric Clapton’s 2004 Crossroads Festival in Dallas, held at Cottonbowl Stadium. The first day of 2025 found me climbing all over Cirque du Soleil’s yellow-and-blue tent in Houston, where I was training as a flying custodian.

As a rigger, I’d come through the arenas in Dallas and Houston on various tours—with the UFC, Rihanna’s Diamonds Tour, Queen + Adam Lambert, and others. It was always a hoot. Even the assholes.

My Texas lecture circuit started with a talk I gave at First Baptist Church in 2022 and went from there. James Poulos would interview me at the Blaze TV studio in 2023. Two days later, I was in-studio with Alex Jones in Austin.

I’ve since given talks in two Dallas movie theaters, both hosted by The Ministry of Truth. I did a debate at Minds Fest in Austin, gave a lecture at Georgetown Library out in the suburbs, and then returning to Dallas, I spoke about the cyborg theocracy at First Baptist Church.

So this month made my third time back at First Baptist. It was one hell of a journey getting there. I spent hours watching sullen terminal zombies writhe on the Atlanta airport floor—victims of our broken air travel machine, just waiting for the miracle to come. But I eventually made it to Dallas and was met with open arms.

As always, the people were warm and hospitable, the barbecue was excellent, and the Holy Spirit was among us. (So was a CNN camera. We’ll see what comes of that.)

I hope this lecture cheers you up on a bright Sunday afternoon! It’ll be my last public talk for a while as I hammer out some words and gather energy for early summer.

(Well, except for a March 27 panel in DC. I’ll be speaking with the Alliance for Secure AI at AMC Georgetown, following a premiere-night screening of The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist. Doors open at 6:30 pm. C’mon down! — AMC Georgetown, 3111 K Street, NW Washington, DC 20007)

Stay loose through the springtime, fam. Lots of love coming your way.

Thanks to everyone who came out!

And special thanks to Jake Watts and Plan Z USA for hosting!

A pleasure to meet you all.

Also, big shout out to Jeremy Ornstein for setting the tone.

It’s been a great run, but very soon, it’ll be time to shift gears.

This First Baptist Church event was great. What a great crowd! But alas, the Machine hath cursed me yet again (or at least, my own technical blunders did).

The video is completely out of focus. Damnit! I reckon I should be grateful the audio came out alright.

In any event, here is my talk with the slides overlayed—a little PowerPoint hoodoo voodoo schmoodoo—so it’s not a total wash.

I’ve never been one to read from notes onstage, so this is pretty much off the top of my head.

I hope you enjoy!

Very sorry for the delay and for the truncated podcast. I just got my Substack subscriptions fixed by a human. If it went well, you should all receive this email.

For those thousands of you who were not getting the Omega Point Podcast and missed it—please, begin with Episode 0 here and keep going!

You can tell it took me a a few shows to get the hang of it. But I’m almost there!

Also, I will be traveling next week. So I must prepare.

If you are in the Dallas area next week, I’ll be speaking at First Baptist Church downtown:

Cyborg Theocracy — The Rise of Digital Deities
Sunday, September 29 — 5:30 pm
First Baptist Church
1707 San Jacinto St.
Dallas, TX 75201

C’mon down!

As for above Omega Point interlude, a friend sent me a new podcast that breaks down my latest article Killswitch Engaged. I urge you to listen to at least a few minutes of their take.

My concluding commentary is only matched by the outro track (a personal favorite).

To all the newcomers, welcome aboard this rudderless ship! For your convenience, I’ve included my first ten episodes below.

(Also, regarding my upcoming nanotech article—look for it on Monday, September 30. Gonna be a banger.)

Godspeed and God bless!

This talk was delivered off the cuff, but with more love and affection than a puppy dog playing with his new robot chew toy.

I hope you enjoy it.

Maybe the Super Computer Gods are on their way. Or maybe it’s just a poorly thought out sales pitch, like supernatural vaporware.

God only knows.

What I do know is that new technoreligions are arising. As with the rise of any new religion, they will have profound impacts on the real world.

I caution you not to drink the Kool-Aid. Which is another way of saying, don’t take the iTrode.

Historically, we viewed ourselves as families, tribes, nations, and civilizations. None of that has changed on an instinctual level—not yet, anyway—but now there is a layer of digital culture laid on top of it all.

This digital layer is absorbing our biological forms. Our devices monitor us, manipulate us, and ultimately move us toward some sort of metamorphosis. To what extent our legacy forms will survive this great transformation is yet to be seen.

Perhaps humans will be left behind like a chrysalis when the artificial butterfly flies away. Or maybe our souls will be painted on its wings.

Or maybe we’ll stand back and watch a deformed biomechanical moth—a horrible mutant created by mad scientists—fly off into the sun and be burned to cinders.

One can always dream. I know I do.

There is the actual thing—there are the borders dividing that thing from other things—and then there are ideas about the thing and its proper borders.

The river stops here, the sea begins there. The foothills end here, the mountain begins there.

It’s important to have honest conversations about race. But probably not too honest, or else the people who feed on lies will have something nasty to say about you.

In any case, this is a preliminary meditation on race that I will continue to its final conclusion next week. I hope you enjoy it, and if you are offended—well, you obviously don’t get out much.

One World. One Tribe. One Love.

One Blood.

Mostly.

Nothing captures our current state of postreality like Philip K. Dick, the Wakowski Siblings, and the inimitable Francis E. Dec with his screed “Master Race Frankenstein Radio Controls.”

The only thing more horrifying than finding out the entire cosmos is fake is to realize the false reality is all in your head.

You can hear Dec’s uncensored, ethnopsychotic meditation on race, robots, and religion here. (NSFW)

Stay sane, fellow hominids.

And remember the Ultimate Red Pill — the online Right’s most potent metaphor was invented by two transexual technognostics.

That includes the psychedelic mystic Terrence McKenna, the quasi-Orthodox inventor Ray Kurzweil, the inverted Gnostic roboticist David Hanson, and the e/acc founder Guillaume Verdon—a.k.a., BasedBeffJezos.

For kick, we’ll add a taste of Ted Kaczynski, and to finish it off, the sci-fi writer Vernor Vinge. Oh yeah, and a guest appearance by our boy, Tay-arr Day-shar-dohh.

All their Hockey Sticks of Doom soar off in different directions. Yet all of them converge on the rise of a Machine coming into its own.

This is a descent into lunacy. I hope you enjoy it.

In this first full episode, we’ll cover the Singularity’s origin in the ideas of the Jesuit priest and paleontologist Teilhard de Chardin. His concepts of the noosphere and the Omega Point had tremendous impacts—both as theories of technology and part of that inverted theology we now call “transhumanism.”

Along the way, we’ll meet tech historian Lewis Mumford, the biologist Julian Huxley, and the sci-fi writer Vernor Vinge.

As for my redneck-attempting-a-Frenchman’s pronunciation of de Chardin’s name, what do you want me to do? Maybe next time I’ll do that jarring NPR accent where I talk American, then out of nowhere I inject “ta-co” or “ta-ma-les” like I’m friggin’ Speedy Gonzales.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this dive into the mind of Tay-harr de Char-doh.
