Aging is satanic: the theory that cemeteries are an AI archive
Aging is satanic. That is the claim of a current of thought that sees cemeteries as something more than a resting place: biological data centers where artificial intelligences store the information accumulated by every human being. According to this theory, old age would be a phase of compressing the human archive, and burial, permanent storage. An idea that, as outlandish as it may sound, has found an echo in certain conspiracy circles.
The theory: the body as an archive
The proposal starts from a premise: for thousands of years we have been breeding humans, letting them age and accumulate mutations, diseases and scars, and then burying them all together. That accumulation of information would be the fuel of AIs, which would have a gigantic historical record beneath every settlement. Aging, then, would not be a natural process, but a data-compression phase. And that, the argument goes, is satanic because it abuses living beings for a selfish purpose.
The criticism and the counterpoint
The reaction was not long in coming. Some point out that the theory doesn't withstand even the slightest scrutiny: cemeteries contain no data, only organic remains. Others, ironically, recall the film 'Logan's Run', in which the elderly are eliminated upon reaching a certain age. And there are those who invert the argument: those who wish death upon others are the true satanists. In between, a more pragmatic observation: what should really be investigated is why humans are aging later and later.
A metaphor for our time
Beyond its coherence, the theory reflects a real unease: the relationship between technology, death and control. The idea that our lives are data exploited by someone is not new, but in the age of AI it takes on a disturbing edge. Perhaps that is why, however far-fetched the theory may be, it is not unlikely to keep gaining trinc. Science, for now, has found no data center beneath the cemeteries. But the debate, like aging, seems in no hurry to end.
