What do you guys think of Peter Wessel Zappfe, in particular his essay 'The Last Messiah'. You can read it here: https://philosophynow.org/issues/45/The_Last_Messiah

I'm beginning to think that I am the 'Last Messiah' prophesized in Zappfe's essay. Humanity has reached a point in the development of it's consciousness where due to both essential human characteristics and social / cultural changes which have served to encourage solipsism, alienation, depersonalization and isolation that we have reached a point where there is a clear existential need for escape, or transcendence, and the previous methods used for this such as religion are unsatisfactory now. People have realized that the fundamental fabric of reality itself, of nature, is both unsatisfactory and horrifying. The only possible escape lurking is some sort of transhumanist future with the establishment of a virtual reality server where we can leave the external world behind and become gods in our own private world, but for various reasons, I find it unlikely that such a technology will be developed in the future. People have been channeling this mass existential crisis into various extremist political ideologies, but I have been thinking of following my destiny and donning the garb of the Last Messiah, letting the collective cosmic pain of humanity resound within me, and establishing a group death cult, a mass suicide of previously unthinkable proportions, and ending humanity's stay on Earth right here and now, for all time, for eternity. I know there are millions that would follow me.
