TESCREAL is an acronym neologism, proposed and advocated by computer scientist Timnit Gebru and philosopher Émile P. Torres, standing for transhumanism, extropianism, singularity-arianism, cosmism, rationalism, effective altruism, and longtermism.[1] Gebru and Torres argue that these ideologies should be treated as an "interconnected and overlapping" group with shared origins.[1] Gebru and Torres allege this movement allows its proponents to use the threat of human extinction to justify societally expensive or detrimental projects. They consider it pervasive in social and academic circles in Silicon Valley centered around artificial intelligence.[2] As such, the acronym is sometimes used to criticize a perceived belief system associated with Big Tech. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Singularitarianism
