Hi this shitpost has me Thinking.
Haha I’m glad it has. It’s been great seeing the reactions to it, and that it’s reached way beyond the cavetwitter sorts that I had in mind when making it.

I’m in a similar camp to yourself, having interests all across the compass. In a lot of ways I think the chart narrows on its right side, so that the anti-humanist extremes have more in common with each other than the left-hand positions have with one another.
-
I think that makes sense, seeing a reconciliation between the two on the right is essentially my thing, where we can work with the mind/body/soul issue through working with both the natural world and technological.

Yeah I see it as the natural endpoint of the materialist position (of Lucretius, Bruno, and Spinoza)—that the human is a product of material agencies, which work at far greater capacities and durations than human life.
