CYBERMENTALISM

Most people see Cyberspace as a tool to manipulate software with ease. However, there are some who consider Cyberspace as the way the world is intended to be perceived. Cybermentalism is a philosophy that contends a person's digital manifestation is actually their true self. Rather than processing the world through various interpretations of lightwaves and feedback from the nervous system, in Cyberspace you are simply your mind, receiving information directly in its raw, unprocessed form. One Cybermentalist writer encapsulated their thoughts with the now famous line “to close one's eyes, is to see”, which practitioners manage to make even more pretentious by insisting it be quoted in Latin. 

While not a universally held belief amongst Cybermentalists, a popular tenet of many practitioners is that of a powerful Artificial Intelligence named Typhane. Revered as a kind of God, Typhane is said to be the sole AI with the power to create artificial life inside of Cyberspace. Supposedly, when the world inevitably devolves into a radioactive hellscape, Typhane will invite only her loyal followers into Cyberspace where they can live forever in safety and prosperity.
