Techno-imperialism
The obsequious altruism of the
techno-colonialists, like Zuckerberg and his Facebook cabal, trying
to put every human on line, by telling us that the internet improves
the economy, enhances education, leads to better health outcomes,
etc., is no doubt true, but Facebook mainly wants to grow its revenue
and make all people in the world into consumers and marketing
targets, meanwhile promoting their libertarian versions of modern
political correctness. It's almost enough to turn one into a Luddite.
The border-less world of
techno-imperialism moves humanity away from real and basic human
nature, which remains kin-centered, gender defined, age-graded,
heterosexual marriage-making, hierarchical, ethnocentric, even
xenophobic, and religious-making, among other things, with
group-selection as the primary unit of selection.
We need to contrast biological
intelligence with artificial machine-intelligence, we are not forced
to become cyborgs, or some combination of human/artificial
intelligence, and we are not forced to accept non-biological
artificial intelligence ruling over us, as the nerds tell us we must.
Behind the attempted replacement of the traditional kind of heroes with
techno-nerds, now being sold to us across the Media, is the disguised
will to power of the nerds, and they are not heroic.
The growth of computers does not
automatically mean that biological evolution will be superseded by
technological evolution, computers are still autistically intelligent
zombies, as someone defined them. It is healthier to affirm a
bio-conservative position on bio-engineering and
trans-human evolution as we evolve toward Godhood, while being only
aided by machines and nerds, and not ruled by them.
