She says Trump is just a funny right-wing Obama telling the disaffected majority what they want to hear, she argues Jordan Peterson is the Rosa Parks of pronouns, and like most people who are not card-carrying Democrats, she is utterly perplexed as to why Creepy Joe Biden the Swampman is the Democratic Party’s front runner:

“Didn’t Joe Biden start the war on drugs or something?” Rachel Haywire asks, “I thought he was #MeToo’d out of the race. Why are people still on about him?”

Rachel Haywire is a transhumanist, an industrial musician, a rationalist-contrarian author, a self-proclaimed cultural futurist, a Silicon Valley outcast, and the CEO of a San Francisco-based design agency that aims to do away with minimalism. And she is running for president of the United States of America, with the promise to give you $2000 a month if she gets elected.

One among four candidates vying to run as the official presidential nominee of the US Transhumanist Party, Haywire’s campaign slogan is the amorphous “Beyond the Center” which in her own words means remodeling the “edges” of the Left and the Right, while transcending the political Center.

And in a way the term “Beyond the Center” reflects a lot of Haywire’s political journey. Despite growing up in South Florida, her ethos would be molded by her time living in New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco; the three places where she became heavily involved with local underground tech and art scenes, as she evolved from the black bloc Leftist Anarchism of the Occupy Movement that she was active in, to opposing the post-Occupy ‘Social Justice Warrior’ political correctness culture, and then transmogrifying from Rationalism and Transhumanist Separatism to Neoreactionism, and almost going back to where she started from – with her lifelong advocacy of freethinking above all, still intact.

Indeed, what might seem like the Horseshoe Theory of Political Extremism, is actually ‘Beyond the Center’ freethinking – where the individual’s self-determination to not be thought-policed and constrained by Left-Right dichotomy, aligns with transhumanism’s ethos of not settling for biological limits. Beyond the human, transcending Left-Right political dichotomy, would be the definition of progress and evolution.

Haywire’s eclectic political wanderings across the entire political spectrum, have of course stirred controversy, with her association with neoreaction being perhaps the most controversial.

Neoreactionism, also known as the Dark Enlightenment, is an anti-equality school of thought that combines so called old world politics of Europe’s “Dark Ages” with Free Market economics. Think of no democracy but barons, knights and Lords of Manor – except in techno-futurist countries that may likely be ethnocentric, that are ran like corporations – with CEOs as heads of state.

In reality, neoreactionism is just quixotic, history-romanticizing nerds with extreme delusions of grandeur, that would have been fleeting and constrained within the e-bubbles it festers. But, you can leave it up to mainstream media and its BuzzFeed-esque online extensions to use their “Nazis-are-everywhere” scaremongering to blow what neoreactionism actually is, out of proportion; and in the end, through self-fulfilling prophecy, make neoreactionism actually a thing. Mainstream media meme’d the neoreaction into existence.

Haywire claims she first dipped her toes into the dark waters of neoreactionism as a way to escape stifling political correctness and the groupthink virtue-signalling pseudo-activism of Silicon Valley:

“Neoreaction was simply my way to have honest discussions with people when Silicon Valley was full of banal social activist corporatism,” says Haywire, “The realistic discussions about politics and society were very important to me, as crony capitalism was quite popular in the tech industry and I felt stifled in what I could and could not say.”

Even though neoreactionism is a quixotic movement of deluded edgelords that is best viewed as astrology for chinless male neckbeards; given the context of the censorship and deplatforming being carried out by Big Tech, neoreactionism has for some been a Faustian haven for contrarian thought. When Free Speech is excommunicated from the mainstream, she will seek exile wherever she can find it. And as such, Haywire going into neoreactionism as refuge from thought-policing is not that uncommon among Silicon Valley types. And given how social media companies continue to censor anything that deviates from leftist social dogma, the demographics of those who seek such refuge in such havens are certain to broaden.

Haywire has since disavowed neoreactionism, claiming, to the surprise of no one, that it is sexist and racist:

“Many people in this new scene disliked me because I was an outspoken woman,” wrote Haywire back in 2014, “They told me that it was my role to be as feminine as possible, in order to reverse all the liberal decay. They accused me of being an entryist because I was Jewish.”

And neoreactionaries have in turn disavowed her, with Nick Land the English philosopher who literally went mad and became the ideological high priest of the neoreaction, dismissing Haywire’s neoreaction phase as a figment that merely took place in her ego. To which Haywire says, “It was quite the ride even so! I was exploring an alternative reality because I was bored with mainstream politics and the plastic lies involved.”

Always championing freethinking, Haywire became prominent in the transhumanist movement after she transcribed lyrics from her ‘Experiment Haywire’ music project into a controversial diatribe called “The Transhumanist Separatist Manifesto.” In the angry piece, she urged freethinkers to unite and start their own transhumanist nations in order to separate from “baseline humans.” At the time, the transhumanist community needed publicity, and the controversy of the manifesto with its appeal to the elitist proclivities of Silicon Valley types, got it published by R.U. Sirius of Mondo 2000; catapulting her to an opposition figurehead within the transhumanist movement.

But then after, her rising star within transhumanism came crashing down after she had a fall out with wealthy Silicon Valley old guards, in part due to her past, and also because it was the advent of deplatforming, where those deemed not to be politically correct enough were outed and deplatformed. In Haywire’s case, the fall out resulted in her losing a sponsorship for her arts and culture startup.

Despite her immediate status as a Silicon Valley outcast, Haywire fought on, and the Transhumanist Party had enough confidence in her to support her and start a petition in her name:

“The Transhumanist Party started a petition in my name in order to get me reinstated within the community,” recalls Haywire, “While I did not get back into the Silicon Valley dinner party, I found a new group of like-minds to collaborate with and reconnected with old friends.”

Thanks in part to this group of like-minds, the trust she has earned within the Transhumanist Party, and the work she has put in, Haywire now has the confidence to represent both the party and the cause of transhumanism at the ballot box.

Zoltan Istvan, the founder of the Transhumanist Party, is the one who encouraged Haywire to run for president. When Istvan was running for president in 2016, he campaigned by driving a coffin-shaped bus to raise awareness that if humanity wants to eliminate death, then death should be classified as a disease. Haywire’s Zoltanian transhumanist-themed campaign “party trick” involves acquiring a pirate spaceship. How? She says she will crowdsource it. And why a pirate spaceship?

“Transhumanists are pirates of the new evolution, ready to take flight,” says Haywire.

Speaking of pirating, if Haywire’s campaign promise to give you $2000 a month once she gets elected sounds familiar, that is because it is a doubling of Democratic Party’s underdog Andrew Yang’s campaign promise of giving every American adult a Universal Basic Income of $1000 a month as part of a solution to job loss through automation.

Haywire says she loves the way Yang addresses automation, but $1000 a month is not enough in this economy. She argues that the funds for a UBI as high as the one she is proposing, would come from money spent on wars and prison:

“My plan is to reallocate all of the funds that are going to non-violent drug offenders and sex workers in prison and needless overseas wars in order to make this happen,” Haywire argues, “I want to release all of these people from prison and bring all of our troops home once and for all.”

Although Haywire’s political odyssey might superficially look “diverse” it really is not. A tech, punk, rave, hippie, bohemian demographic in no way represents majority of the American electorate. I asked her, given that she has almost exclusively been interacting with Blue state liberal cosmopolitans and cyberspace subcultures, if she knows anything of Bible Belters, Rust Belters, rural and working class Americans; the same people that got Trump elected. Or at least, knew anything about their concerns.

Haywire was honest and confessed, that like white liberals, she was dismissive and snobbish towards rural and working class Americana, particularly after living in New York City. But it was in San Francisco, the techie version of New York’s liberal bubbles, where she had to deal with social activist culture, that she began seeking perspectives outside typical self-entitled liberal groupthink, perspectives that allowed her to see:

“I was very elitist against these people after moving to New York City,” Haywire recalls, “But after living in San Francisco and dealing with neoliberal social activist culture for a while, I grew to realize they were all just humans with their own struggles and problems.”

And this in a way, is the coming to age meta-realization that has created presidential candidate Rachel Haywire. She sees problems, and she has solutions. Although the solutions might involve pirate spaceships, judging by her life journey, Haywire seems to be always two steps ahead of millennial socio-political trends: bashing Social Justice warriors when it was taboo, rambling about edgy theories like Human Biodiversity before it was cool, and advocating transhumanist separatism before Peter Thiel started funding seasteads. On this metric alone, in five years, perhaps Haywire’s beyond-the-center-ism might become the trending panacea to the extreme partisanship in American politics, and maybe, just for laughs and giggles, the once invincible Somali pirates might reclaim their glory and rank higher in the human biodiversity totem by taking to outer space.

Rachel Haywire’s ‘beyond the center’ philosophy might be what the transhumanist movement desperately needs as it has been infiltrated by hyper-partisan extremist socialists who put Far Left dogma and identity politics above transhumanism. It is no longer transhumanism when self-appointed gatekeepers are more concerned about enacting the social theories of Social Science rather than using Science and Technology to advance humanity, or spend most of their time carrying out socialist pogroms and purity tests to weed out anyone who might have thoughts that deviate from Far Left dogma.

Beyond the Center was and is Rachel Haywire; having traversed the entire political spectrum, having been embraced by Silicon Valley only to be excommunicated by Silicon Valley-based wealthy gatekeepers of transhumanism, Rachel Haywire has had to fight for and believe in transhumanism for ALL, and she says transhumanism for all is why she is running for president:

“Transhumanism is for everyone. This is what my presidential campaign is about: Transhumanism for all.”
