I'm not a fan of those things either, I don't think anyone is apart from the capitalists who profit from it. What I'm -also- not a fan of is abandoning human progress, rather than a) fixing the problems we've already created and b) improving ourselves and the world through tech.
-
Human progress isn't limited to the Technological vector and it isn't clesr by a longshot that it's even good. It's a trade off and to many it isn't worth it. The gamble is to try to reach a point where the cost pays off. Won't happen, too much dmg too fast.
-
I don't see a way of stopping it (technological progression), which is why I wish to create a world where hopefully it's not used to oppress. (hello? ANARCHO transhumanist). I agree there are huge issues, I just don't think that stopping progression is the answer.
-
It's very unlikely that it will stop, or that looming ecological crisis will be avoided. So best get ready imo.

"technosceptic" is just another word for counter dialectical idealism

no it's "hey maybe the fact that we're flooding our bodies with substances that have unknown long term effects isn't so good"
-
As long as longterm ressource aquistion and further development is not hindered you can do with your body as you please
-
your whole argument is literally there is no right or wrong as long as globohomo technocapital can continue to run its course
-
This has nothing to do with capitalism, and this development should continue, or even accelerate, under any form of non-braindead socialism

"kill, rape, torture, as long as you don't hinder muh resource acquisition!! i need those new ROBOT EYES ANON!!! CAN'T HINDER MUH RESOURCES ANON!!"

yeh man
@Red_Reflecc you're going a bit off the rails with this line of discussion fam. I think it might be the "red" part coming into play. -
This is exactly why both pines and transhumanists need to understand Nick Land and even Deleuze and Guttari. It has A LOT to do with capitalism, increasingly so as things accelerate and technology and capital tend towards autonomy.
