Indulging in the Eschaton

October 28, 2024 · Original source

Russian Cosmism, as I learn in the back room of a vegan Thai restaurant in a basement off East Broadway, centers on the idea that true morality, at least in hypothetical terms, must seek to defeat death. A truly good pursuit must strive for the end of all that is bad. Russian Cosmism, of course, assumes that death is bad. Therefore - it seeks immortality and to resurrect the life of everyone who has ever died. It seeks to solve the issue of finite resources with the infinite supply of the cosmos, stars, and boundless solar light, to harness eternal energy and then, through technology, make humanity eternal too.

A friend brings coffee over this morning and we sit on the terrace. It’s not too cold yet. The terrace is dusty and I’m excited for the surface to freeze over. I tell my friend about the Russian Cosmism Reading Group I have joined, following an announcement at the Bryan Johnson Don’t Die event downtown last month. I tell her that I’m interested in the idea of defeating death because it strikes me as both spiritual and flagrantly sacrilegious. I’m inclined to find the concept terrifying, because there are so many worse things than dying that could happen during eternity. She tells me that following a former boy band pop star's death last week, she felt really sad that she will never be a member of the 27 Club. I know that’s so fucked up, she says.

“If you’re dead you don’t know it because you aren’t here which is the same thing as if you’re stupid,” one says.
