One day after listening to talks about brain uploading and extending life forever I watched Guillermo del Toro's beautiful #Frankenstein, and the parallels were ... ahm ... not subtle.
#transhumanism is a #deathcult
I'll try to bring the #AI enthusiasm down a notch or two at the "Hybrid Minds" event at the #MedUniversity in Vienna this week, talking about
The Cyborg Myth
or: why you still *don't* get a living being when you replace every one of its functions with mechanical components:

Christoph Waltz has done #Frankenstein (with Guiellermo del Toro) and #Dracula (with Luc Besson).
He just needs to hang with The Wolfman for the monster trifecta.

"Guillermo del Toro: Saying ‘art is not important’ is ‘always the prelude to fascism’
The director accepted the directing honor at 10 Directors to Watch and Creative Impact Awards brunch during the film festival, reports ‘Variety’.
He said, 'Be kind, be involved, believe in your art. At a time when people tell you art is not important, that is always the prelude to fascism. When they tell you it doesn’t matter, when they tell you a fucking app can do art you say, if it’s that important, why the fuck do they want it so bad? The answer is because they think they can debase everything that makes us a little better, a little more human. And that, in my book, and in my life, includes monsters.
Elsewhere in his speech, he spoke about the 'religious experience' of watching James Whale’s 1931 ‘Frankenstein’ for the first time
As per ‘Variety’, Sara Karloff, the daughter of the original ‘Frankenstein’ star Boris Karloff, was his guest at the event.
He further mentioned, 'Sometimes the world gets so complicated, you can only explain it with the power of monsters. We are in a time like that right now. It’s not just the size of the screens, it’s the size of the idea. Ambition includes failure, it’s right next door to success. There are no numbers on the door. You’re going to knock on that door, and it’s going to open, and it’s either a supermodel of your dreams or your mom in curlers'.
‘Frankenstein’ was released on Netflix on October 17, 2025."

The image is a movie poster with a dark and eerie aesthetic. At the top, yellow text on a black background reads, "Conjure up your deepest, darkest fear… now call that fear to life." Below, a dimly lit scene shows a menacing figure with shadowy features crouched next to a woman lying on a bed. The woman is dressed in a white outfit and appears unconscious or in distress. Her face is partially illuminated by orange-hued light, creating a surreal atmosphere. Quotes from reviews are printed on the left side in white, showcasing positive remarks. In the lower section, in large yellow font, the title "GOTHIC" is prominently displayed. Below the title, there is additional text listing the cast and crew in smaller yellow font. The background subtly blends with hues of black, orange, and red, enhancing the ominous mood.

#ScribesAndMakers 10.22 — What’s your favorite horror novel?
Don't make me choose! I love horror.
It's a toss-up between these two beauties. Read Drood, seriously.
I'll leave you with this: "Drood" is a novel that delves into the last five years of Charles Dickens' life, focusing on his obsession with a figure named Drood. The novel is narrated by Wilkie Collins, Dickens' friend and fellow author, and it intertwines Dickens' personal and literary struggles with his obsession. The narrative is complex, blending fiction with biographical facts and exploring themes of obsession, jealousy, and the darker aspects of human nature. The book has been praised for its imaginative storytelling and Simmons' ability to weave historical details into a compelling narrative.

On my desk are pumpkins and mushrooms, all in green, orange, and pink shades. Resting on the desktop is a pair of books. One is Mary Shelley's Frankenstein with an orange Barnes and Nobles' Classics cover, with art of the human skull on it. Next to it is Drood from Dan Simmons. On the cover is the silhouette back of a dark figure with a top hat and coat.

"I’d like to tell the rest of our extraordinary cast and our crew that the artistry of all of them shines on every single frame of this film that was willfully made by humans, for humans. The designers, builders, make-up, wardrobe team, cinematographers, composers, editors… I would like to extend our gratitude and say: Fuck AI"
