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The growth of computers does not automatically mean that biological evolution will be superseded by technological evolution, computers are still autistically intelligent zombies, as someone defined them.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.
