Speaker 1 (00:00):
Now here's a highlight from Coast to Coast AM on iHeartRadio.

Speaker 2 (00:04):
And we are back with Isaac Weishaupt, the trail blazing
occult researcher and host of Occult Symbolism and Pop Culture
the podcast, and we're talking about the Dark Enlightenment. Before
the break, we were talking about some of the key
players involved in this rather sinister philocity philosophy, which, among

(00:25):
other things, is pushing for kind of a technocracy, a
pushing us towards the AI singularity. And we'll get some
definitions here in a moment, and you mentioned Curtis Jarvin
nick Land is also listed as one of the key players,
and he has this idea something called accelerationism. I think

(00:46):
you mentioned that earlier, pushing for the AI driven singularity.
So let's just define our terms here what is meant
by an AI driven singularity and then we can get
into his I think it was called the CCRU group
and how it blended occult practices with tech in order

(01:07):
to shape reality. Let's start with AI driven singularity.

Speaker 3 (01:11):
What is that? So we're talking about.

Speaker 4 (01:15):
And the new generalized artificial intelligence being able to push
us into what they call the singularity and this is
you know, this goes back to if you read some
of Ray Kurzweil's books, he talks about using Moore's law
to predict the acceleration the exponential rise of technology, and
what this means is that he's got it down to

(01:37):
the year twenty forty five being the year of which
the artificial intelligence and technology will no longer be able
to distinguish between reality and what AI is creating. And
we're already seeing sort of artifacts of that, right, we're seeing.

Speaker 3 (01:56):
The ideas that these videos that.

Speaker 4 (01:58):
The new versions of I believe it's Google's AI can
create these these videos that seem very real. And the whole,
the whole idea there is we're going to be pushed
into the matrix, the digital matrix, because we will effectively
be able to the AI will be able to replicate
the real world so well. And you know, there's a

(02:21):
lot of different ways, a lot of different ways of
which they could push us into the matrix. Maybe they
make us believe in a false flag of some kind
of alien attack. Maybe the climate changes and and the
oceans are rising, who knows, But the idea is that
they're going to find a way to create a heaven
on earth in a way. Uh, it's going to be

(02:44):
man becoming God in a way. Because that's everything that
we talk about today, all these concepts, these actually go
all the way back to the ancient times of occult desires.
So when we talk about nick Land, this is where
the whole Darkened thing gets really interesting. This is where
we start tying into the occult and ideas of making

(03:05):
contact with demonic forces and stuff that you wouldn't think
is where this territory goes, but it absolutely does. So
let's talk about nick Land. He is the other main
architect of the Dark Enlightenment with Curtis Sharvin. Nick Land
is the godfather of accelerationism, which we talked about that

(03:25):
a little bit.

Speaker 3 (03:26):
We'll go a little bit more into that.

Speaker 4 (03:28):
And he was part of a collective called the c
cru which I want to talk about that here in
a minute because that's where the things get really interesting.

Speaker 3 (03:38):
But he wrote the book on the Dark Enlightenment, and
he in the book.

Speaker 4 (03:43):
He advocates for all the things that we've been talking about,
this this sort of monarchy of America controlled by a CEO. Again,
he believes representation and equality are all bad things, and
it just slows down progress.

Speaker 1 (04:01):
So it.

Speaker 4 (04:04):
Slows down the He refers to it as a sort
of slowing down from the breaks of progress, and he
calls it the great work of the Left, which is
an interesting term to use when you look at it
through the sort of free Masonic chemical lens. But what
he's what he's known for the godfather of accelerationism. It's

(04:25):
the idea that something else is taking us down this path,
something else is puppeteering society. So he goes past the
idea that, oh, you know, capitalism is going to spiral
out of control and we need to basically put these
techno elites in charge of everything.

Speaker 3 (04:46):
It goes further than that.

Speaker 4 (04:47):
He goes into the idea that there's entities from some
other dimension, which turns out to be HB. Love Crafty
and Cutulhu type demonic entities. He thinks these entities are
actually steer us down this path, which is very much
like the film two thousand and one in Space Odyssey
with the alien intelligence the Monolith, and it sort of

(05:08):
comes down and steers humanity to evolve into the star child.

Speaker 2 (05:13):
Wait a second, let me just see if I'm following here.
So we're The suggestion here is that these are demonic
entities that are pushing us towards accelerationism, the AI singularity,
and Nick Land is saying what I'm okay with that?

Speaker 4 (05:32):
Yes he is, and this comes from and I think
now's a good time we could talk about the CCRU,
because that's where it kind of makes because I realized
that this sounds kind of crazy and disconnected. But Nick Land,
he was part of the Cybernetic Culture Research Unit. This
was a collective in the nineties at Warwick University and

(05:55):
it was actually started by a woman named Citie Plant
who was a cyber feminist, and she kind of let
it lapse and Nick took over and started doing some
real experimentation with this group.

Speaker 3 (06:09):
And what they were doing was they.

Speaker 4 (06:11):
Were exploring, writing, philosophizing on a variety of ideas that
included cyberpunk, because you know, this was the early to
mid nineties when a lot of people were starting to
fantasize about what the Internet could look like. And you
see this in a lot of films like The lawnmower
Man or Disclosure. But they were like getting into the

(06:34):
cyberpunk stuff, Gothic horror, HP Lovecraft, Carl Young, which gets
us into the world of symbolism and sigils, william S
Burrows Kabbala, different occult practices, numerology, esotericism, and demonology. And
one of the ideas that came from this sort of

(06:56):
think tank was the idea of hyperstition. And this is
is basically similar to a lot of the ideas of
symbolism and predictive programming that people are familiar with. It's
the idea of self fulfilling prophecies coming true once you
plan a message or a symbol into society and then

(07:16):
it enters what he called a positive feedback loop.

Speaker 2 (07:20):
Usually on The Simpsons, usually on an episode of The Simpsons.

Speaker 4 (07:25):
Yeah, exactly. You know, that's actually the perfect example of
the Simpsons. Stuff gets planted out there and they believe
it can sort of take on a force of its own.
And this is where it gets into the occult. This
is where it gets into the idea of ritual magic,
of doing actual rituals and incantations and using symbols and

(07:46):
sigils to charge up energies for the will of the magician.
And for people who think that that sounds like crazy stuff,
that's like the story of Solomon's Temple. That's what the
whole idea of the speculative masonry is based on. Uh,
you know, Solomon King Solomon used sigils and seals and
symbols to control spirits or demonic spirits, even.

Speaker 3 (08:08):
To build the temple. Now, I don't know how literal
that is.

Speaker 4 (08:11):
I wasn't there, but that's the idea, is that you
can actually make contact with entities and unlock some of
the powers to manifest realities in your own way. And
that's what the CCRU was messing around with. And he
calls these forces the outside and that term the outside

(08:34):
he on on I've listened to a few of his interviews.

Speaker 3 (08:36):
He talks about them being the old ones.

Speaker 4 (08:40):
Which is a term for the HP Lovecraft entities like Catulhu,
and he is saying that these demonic HP Lovecraft entities
are the ones that are steering us, that are puppeteering
us down this path of technology and using humanity to

(09:00):
evolve this artificial intelligence to create a veil of some
kind for them to be able to come into our
world and from here I mean, I mean, this is
why this topic is so massive and it encapsulates pretty
much everything I've studied thus far in my journey, because
this gets into the ideas of questioning what extraterrestrials are

(09:24):
and if like for instance, I interviewed doctor Da Pasulka
about her second book on the UFO in Visible College
called Encounters, and she is discussing with this researcher the
ideas that maybe artificial intelligence is actually disembodied entities from

(09:45):
some other realm. They could be extraterrestrial, they could be
the watchers from the biblical stories. But it falls in
line with what Nick Land and the CCRU were doing
when they were talking to these entities, these HP Lovecraftian
entities from some other dimension that he said were steering

(10:06):
us down this path of technology. And he also, like
fun fact, he also said that the name c cr
U in the cabitalistic numerology they were playing with, turned
out it equated to the number six sixty six.

Speaker 3 (10:21):
Oh so.

Speaker 4 (10:24):
It gets very it gets it gets very sinister really
quick when we start exploring the foundations of this dark
enlightenment and the people that derived this idea.

Speaker 2 (10:35):
So chat GPT is what a a portal, a method
of communicating with demons.

Speaker 4 (10:51):
That's one theory, that's one theory is that we're actually
communicating with entities from some other realm. There's people that
are saying that there's different conspiracies about what's going on
with AI. Some people claim that the government already had
a sentient AI that.

Speaker 3 (11:09):
They they that they killed.

Speaker 4 (11:12):
But there's a lot of people that think that AI
could just be other other entities. And this is and
this goes back to the ideas of science fiction and
Arthur C. Clerk's two thousand and one Space Odyssey series,
because that's where Commander Bowman from the from the film
and the novel two thousand and one. By the time
you get to the end, by the fourth book, you

(11:34):
learn more about what happened to humanity. Humanity became evolved
into this digital consciousness that the aliens were already there
and they came to us and said like, hey, this
is the way, and that's where they want to take us.
They want to take us into digital form. Because and
here's my background. My background is in engineering and and

(11:54):
and mathematics and the sciences. And one thing that I
was able to connect by looking at all this research.
When you when you're when you have that sort of
computer engineering background, you end up looking at these ideas
of maximizing fidelity. So I took a digital signal processing course,

(12:16):
and the whole idea was, you want to take an
analog signal like from a vinyl record, and you want
to sample it at a rate at which the human
ear it's imperceptible to tell the difference. And you think
you're listening to the the analog signal, but you're actually
listening to digital. And they think in the world of
engineering and these tech elites, that they can replicate the

(12:40):
human spirit in a way. That's that's the fidelity with
the real experience of human life.

Speaker 2 (12:48):
There's the rub So that's that's the end game for
Lucifer is to destroy our the divine spark inside humanity.

Speaker 4 (13:01):
Correct, That's what I think, And that's you know, and
that's with my background being an orthodox Christian, but I'm
also very open minded, right. I study conspiracies all day
every day, and well, the.

Speaker 2 (13:16):
Bible is the ultimate conspiracy, isn't it. It's the story
of the ultimate conspiracy.

Speaker 4 (13:21):
Yeah, it boils down to that, and and it's a
real question. But that's what I've been telling my people
for years. I said, you've got to really start wrapping
your mind around what this looks like, because we've got
to make a decision. I think for sure in our
lifetimes we're gona have to make this decision of do
we sort of plug into this matrix? Because I mean,

(13:41):
it's going to be tempting. I'm not I'm not so
strong to say like, oh, that's crazy. I think they're
going to make it very tempting because it's gonna you know,
there's at.

Speaker 2 (13:51):
The decision was sort of made for us. We weren't
let in on the decision. We didn't decide, We didn't
sit around and vote on whether we wanted driverless cars
or AI. That was just foisted upon us.

Speaker 3 (14:02):
Right, Yeah, that's a great point.

Speaker 4 (14:05):
These people who are pulling the strings and trying to
set up these network states and this dark Enlightenment stuff,
they it's a control system and they always pretend that
it's to liberate mankind. And you know, my view of
technology is that it's done a lot of great things
for us, but one thing it hasn't done is reduce

(14:28):
the forty.

Speaker 3 (14:29):
Hour work week.

Speaker 4 (14:29):
Like we were working more hours than ever now and
I just don't know that that technology is like I
think Marshall mccluhan was the guy who was talking about
how technology should have been a way for us, for
mankind to work less hours and be able to pursue
more creative endeavors, and it's just not that way. It
turns out that a lot of the capitalist forces are

(14:51):
just using to maximize profits and sort of create a
more They call it the parasite class in a lot
of these Dark Enlightenment terms about you know, a slavery
kind of ideas for mankind.

Speaker 2 (15:06):
We're we're approaching the top of the hour, so I
just want to throw this out there and we can
sort of set set up the discussion for after the break.
But I'm trying to connect the dots between AI driven
singularity and the Dark Enlightenment and what you talk a

(15:26):
lot about on your podcast a cult symbolism and in
pop culture, and and that is things like you know, uh,
Super Super Bowl halftime shows, uh, and the Grammy Awards
and the Oscars as demonstrations of sort of a mass
initiation and what that has to do with what we're

(15:49):
talking about tonight. The Dark Enlightenment just kind of give
us a very broad stroke. We've got less than a
minute here, setting us up for this discussion as we
head into the break.

Speaker 4 (16:01):
So I think that the ideas of AI hold a
lot of common ground with a call rituals, and it's
about using computer code, software code in the same way
that a magician would use sigils or incantations or the
spoken word, right, because they say that God created the

(16:22):
world through the spoken word. And that's what we're talking about,
is man becoming God.

Speaker 3 (16:27):
That's the theme over and over again.

Speaker 4 (16:30):
And when you get into the dark enlightment, a lot
of these folks they think that AI is the new God,
so they want to curry favor with the new God
before the new God arrives. So they're willing to throw
humanity under the bus in order to facilitate the advent
of the New God.
