ALEXANDRIA'S ALCHEMY
ALEXANDRIA'S ALCHEMY
Yesterday, I watched the most insane show I’ve seen in a long time. It was called Cassandra.
Cassandra is supposed to be about the very first smart house, created in the 1970s but never achieving success due to the death of its creator. In present day, a family occupies the abandoned house, and somehow, the AI system is rebooted. This is where we meet Cassandra, a seemingly well-meaning, snarky matriarch that appears on screens and performs chores as a robot prototype straight out of The Jetsons. Beyond the drama, it is later revealed that Cassandra is not an AI at all—she was once a living person. This “smart house” was actually a successful transhumanism experiment.
The story itself was wildly disturbing. Although some aspects felt cartoonish and goofy, this show made my solar plexus burn. Just a few days prior, my father and I were talking about transhumanism. My theory? It will be an actual thing within the next 30-50 years. It sounds absurd now, but many shows—possibly produced by intelligence agencies—are rolling out the idea to people. If you’re aware, you’ll recognize how predictive programming operates, and how technology may be far more advanced than we think.
The real question is: how and why will they roll this out? It could be catalyzed by some real or fabricated looming disaster. If you’re offered an escape hatch to impending doom, would you take it? In Cassandra’s case, her husband—a terrible man—experimented on her with an unapproved ultrasound imaging machine while she was pregnant. The attempt resulted in her developing cancer throughout her body, while her child was born so severely deformed that they locked her away for life to avoid public scrutiny or questions.
Side note: Ladies, when a man says, “Just trust me,” he doesn’t know what the hell he’s talking about. Use your intuition. Cassandra’s husband literally destroyed her because he wanted to appear masculine and all-knowing.
Cassandra’s escape plan was allowing her husband to experiment one last time by “cheating death.” The transhumanism attempt worked. However, given the limits of 1970s technology, she was unable to fully express herself, became lonely and isolated, and ultimately turned extremely controlling. Her human side was overwritten, causing her to act out in insane ways toward her family and the new occupants of the house.
Also, a chilling subplot: the little girl hidden behind the walls died after Cassandra’s husband, their son, his mistress (who was Cassandra’s best friend), and their baby fled. Cassandra had retaliated against her mistreatment in terrifying ways. The narcissistic, evil scientist husband knew exactly what he was doing—he abandoned the house and his different, suffering child, fully aware of the consequences.
There were many other eerie details, but you have to watch this crazy show for yourself.
Back to Transhumanism: Would You Transfer Your Consciousness?
Would the promise of eternal life convince you to transfer your consciousness? I wouldn’t do it!
The wild thing is, our reality already mirrors this concept. Our consciousness occupies an organic, highly intuitive, self-sufficient, intelligent being—our body. I think about how limited transferring our consciousness might be, but then again, our bodies also have limits. I’ve had plenty of experiences that prove we are not just our bodies. They are merely shells.
Would it be wrong to consciously occupy a new shell? It’s an odd thought. I think about The Matrix—how it depicted characters existing in an entirely different state, dreaming up realities separate from where they were physically located.
The transhumanism and consciousness transfer concept creeps me out, but I’m sure it’s coming down the pipeline. The only question is how and when. They’re already screaming about the state of the planet and depopulation. We shall see.
