Murphy's second law

Anyone that can exist does exist, and they're probably on Twitter.

"What on earth do you mean they're calling themselves 'Sigma Males'?"

"Murphy's second law. They exist."

Second Singularity/High Transapient (S2) Technologies

Technologies emerging from intelligences that have undergone a second, even more profound leap in cognitive capacity, making S1 entities look simple. This tier involves mastery of spacetime geometry, creating stable wormholes for transport, manipulating gravity, and engineering consciousness at a fundamental level. S2 tech begins to look like magic, allowing for interstellar travel via traversable gates, the construction of ringworlds, and the ability to edit physical constants on a local scale.

Second Singularity/High Transapient (S2) Technologies Example: A S2 Technology is a Stable Wormhole used as a subway between stars, a Matrioshka Brain (a Dyson Sphere computing substrate around a star), or a Jupiter Braincore that converts an entire gas giant into a computational matrix. These are projects of such scale and subtlety that their operating principles are opaque to baseline humans and even S1 minds.
