This talk is an outro to my last four years of work and a segue into the next phase. 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!SIGNED COPIES OF DARK ÆON ARE NOW AVAILABLE Purchase yours at → DarkAeon.xyz ← Get full access to SINGULARITY WEEKLY at www.joebot.xyz/subscribe

Episode 9 — LIVE From New York, It's Cyborg Theocracy!
In lieu of my usual intimate podcast, I present to you my rant in New York City about the decline of human dignity and the rise of cyborg theocracy. 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.

Episode 8 — Descent of the God Bots
The prospect of digital gods is chilling. Personally, I am agnostic toward the idea. 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.
