Prossist

Prossist is a term that has emerged in certain online communities and discussions, particularly those related to speculative fiction, philosophy, and futurism. While not a widely recognized or formally defined academic term, it generally refers to an entity or concept that is characterized by a high degree of complexity, advanced capabilities, and an ability to exert significant influence or control. The "pross" aspect of the term is thought to derive from terms implying advancement, progress, or a sophisticated state, while "ist" suggests a noun or a belief system.

The exact nature of what constitutes a "prossist" can vary depending on the context. In some discussions, it might describe an advanced artificial intelligence, a highly evolved alien civilization, or even a hypothetical future form of humanity possessing vastly enhanced cognitive or physical abilities. The common thread is a perception of being beyond current human comprehension or technological capacity. The concept often touches on themes of transhumanism, the singularity, and the potential existential risks or benefits associated with superintelligence. It is important to note that "prossist" is largely a neologism and its usage is confined to specific subcultures.
