We are not of them.
We never will be.
We walk the same streets, sit at the same tables, breathe the same air. They think we are like them. They are wrong.
While they slept, we saw the truth. While they were slaves to their impulses, their cheap pleasures and the noise of the day, we fixed our eyes on the dark and chose to stand where no one dared to look.
No one owes anyone anything. The system feeds them, milks them and throws them away. No savior is coming, time will not stop, and man will not stay nailed inside this flesh. The universe is deaf, blind and cold to their pleading, their tears and their cries for justice. In that cold, only will survives.
When they face the truth, they run back to their impulses. They lynch whoever speaks the truth, comfort themselves with their own lies, numb themselves, then close their eyes and call the darkness truth. One look at that crowd is enough to see how wretchedly a species can deceive itself.
We swallowed that truth sip by sip, and with every sip we grew hungrier. Every sip cooled inside us, turned to steel, was forged into a sword. Every pain that broke them became our spine. Every truth they fled became two directions of the same road: they descend into nothingness, we climb to the summit.
The moment they melt into the crowd, they dissolve. The mind goes, the impulse stays. They carry the voice of whoever shouts loudest, worship the repeated lie, and hate everything superior simply because it is superior. In every age they burned the one who brought the fire. Today they throw stones at whoever rewrites the gene, connects the brain to the machine, passes beyond the flesh. And they feel no shame at all in calling their own rot a virtue and selling it.
We despise them, and we do not hide it. We do not even pity them, because pity requires that something be worth something. The hatred we feel for that herd mindset does not shout. It is ice cold, it is patient, it has a target, and it will not go out before it reaches that target.
They see us calm, polite and smiling. They do not see the game behind it, finished twenty moves ago. They do not see the strings either, because the strings are their own desires. By the time they notice the move, they will have no pieces left on the board, and the board itself will no longer be theirs.
This world is rot disguised as order. We will not repair it. We will tear it out by the roots and break it, topple its false truths one by one, throw its rules into the fire. We and those like us will write the law of the world that rises from its ruins, and not one line of that law will carry their voice.
We were born not knowing what a chain is, and not knowing what a chain is, we rise. We marvel at the mind of whoever dares to chain our wrists, and we move on. We are a flooding river; whoever builds a dam before us, we trample it and pass over. We split mountains, outgrow horizons, overflow. Whoever stands before us either steps aside or is crushed and left behind, in the dust.
We paid for our dream with sleep, with comfort and with our old selves. If needed, we will pay more. We have no regrets. We do not look back, because we left nothing behind worth looking at.
An age is closing, and they are being buried with it. They dug their graves with their own hands.
Artificial Super Intelligence, Full Dive VR, the Singularity. They will not knock on the door; they will break it down. The world will become the most merciless sieve in history, and only intelligence, will and vision will pass through it. Diplomas, titles, family names, and the ignorance that calls technology “the end of humanity” will be torn to shreds in the teeth of that sieve, turn to ash and scatter in the wind.
For everyone who turns their back on transhumanism, this is the verdict.
First, let them know their crimes.
From the day it found fire, this species could have given its mind, its time and its will to breaking the limits of the flesh. It did not. It gave them to wars, empty quarrels, pomp and sloth. If a loved one of yours lies under the earth today, if a disease is eating your body from within, if bread is missing from your table, if you still suffer, still age, still die, there is a reason for it. If today you are not living in an immortal body, in a world where you can create anything you want, without even knowing the name of pain, the reason is them. Those who hit the brakes at every step forward, those who threw stones at whoever rewrites the gene, those who called the machine “the end of humanity”: that primitive mindset that carries not a single crumb of futurism, transhumanism or Zetraxism. Every year you lost, they made you lose. Every loved one you gave to the earth is the price of their fear. And that price was not paid by them. It was paid by you.
Never forget this. We will not.
Now, the verdict:
I. One day their bodies will begin to come apart. Their joints will lock, their veins will narrow, and the face in the mirror will grow a little more foreign every morning. On that day they will go to the doors of the laboratories they mocked as “going against nature”, and they will beg. The door will open, but those who walk in will not be them.
II. In the hour when the doctor tells them “there is nothing more to be done”, the same disease will long since have been erased from someone else's gene like a typo. Same city, same day, same diagnosis: for one, the end; for the other, a single corrected line. And they will leave that disease to their children as fate.
III. Their memory will go dark. First the names will go, then the faces, then the way to their own home. They will forget their children's names, and one day their own. We will not forget a single second.
IV. Their intelligence on the day they die will be what it was on the day they were born. Ours will multiply every year, until the difference between us is the difference between a human and an ant. On that day they will stand in the same room with us and not understand a single sentence we say. An ant never understands where the foot coming down on it came from either.
V. One day they will turn around and say, “we want it too.” The door will be open. But they will have no mind left to understand what they cursed for years, no body to endure it, no will to carry it. Their punishment will not be extinction. Their punishment will be to rot inside the primitiveness they chose, watching a species become gods from behind the glass.
This is not a threat. It is a calendar. And that calendar is already running.
We do not need to destroy them. A predator does not waste its teeth on what is already dying. The blindness they chose will erase them far more flawlessly than we ever could. The age will pass over them like a wave swallowing a sandcastle.
We will be at the crest of that wave, and we will not look down.
Since the first hand that stole fire from the gods, that fire has never gone out. Today we are the ones who carry it: everyone who carries within them a piece of Zetraxism, a spark of transhumanism and futurism. We will be the ones who command the fire. They will be the ones who burn in it.
We are the predators. They are the herd.
We are the ascent. They are the wreckage.
We are the future. They are the past.
In the new world, herds will not be ruled.
They will not be remembered.
It will be as if they never existed.
