Cosmism

Cosmism, a complex intellectual movement that blends Orthodox theology with scientific forecasting, emerged almost 150 years ago and is once again on the rise in Russia. Part of the country’s elite holds Cosmism as a distinctively Russian response to the supposedly dominant transhumanism in the West. What is Cosmism, and how is it spreading in Russia today?--- Juliette FaureCosmism is a term that has been used for a type of tech-positive spirituality. "The cosmists are a number of thinkers of the late 19th and early 20th centuries who envisaged human expansion beyond the atmosphere of the Earth in the near future, and believed this expansion would entail a radical transformation in human consciousness and in relations between humanity and the universe (Earth and beyond)."

Singleton notes that “the doctrine of cosmism begins with an absolute refusal to treat the most basic factors conditioning life on Earth — gravity and death — as necessary constraints on action. As manifest through the intoxicated cheers of its early advocates that humans should storm the heavens and conquer death, cosmism’s foundational gesture was to conceive of the earth as a trap. Its duty was therefore to understand the duty of philosophy, economics and design to be the creation of means to escape it.”"Maximum Jailbreak, and the legacy of Stephen Hawking" by Giulio Prisco: "In a perceptive 2013 essay titled “Maximum Jailbreak,” Benedict Singleton elaborates on the ideas of Nikolai Fedorov and the Russian cosmists (see Chapter 7 of my book)."
