Felix Stalder presented a well-crafted, cogent view as have others in
this soliloquy.
A broadening of geography as well as cosmology would consider that
most of the Earth's surface is not inhabited by most densely packed,
infectuous, disputatious humans. The age of European, preceded by
Asiatic, exploration spread a particular way of living and thinking
to what it termed The New World.
That has unique mindset has spread to most of the planet and nearby
space, lately dominated by technology, some of which is beneficial, a
good amount suicidally conceited about its supremacy with roots in
the EU fragment of the green orb. The mono language, thought,
literature and technology of this forum, say, which is quite
restricted, perhaps unavoidably, in its judgmental values of good and
bad, right and wrong, rational and irrational.
Imagine, though, another age of exploration, inhabitance, invention,
creativity and behavior altogether open-minded about a different
world view that was not uncurably diseased by EUism of faith,
thought, economy, sociality, prejudice, governance, exploitation,
supremacism, enslavement, righteousness, cruelty, misogyny, racism,
Orwellianism, constitutionalism, royalism, the full pathological
spectrum of highly-educated and fiercely enforced ignorance and conformity.
Turns out there is already a EUism-free world like that, until
recently secure from invasion by the hordes of exploration exploiters
weilding technology and apoligia to ravage and rape and slaughter and
enslave. Right, you otherworders guessed it, not outer space, not AI,
not pharma, not deep thinking, but deep undersea where dog eat dog
landward ethno-suicidism exists as inhuman variety incomprehensibly
older, surely wiser, than fragile, vulnerable, self-destructive human sapiens.
Bide time, the homicidal hairy apes are melting the ice, the seas are
invading the oh so pregnable fortresses defending homelands of
ancestral supremacy, with minuscule scouts gathering intelligence on
weaknesses of flesh and blood pods welcoming baring their innards to
laughably named Trojan Horses riding hell-bent into blood streams and
lung sacs unprotected by over-valued technology, wisdom, beliefs,
lusts, universal health, benevolent regimes housed in glorious
temples of classicism.
The multi-lingual-humnoidal internet, way-stationed here, intoxicates
into early senility with calls to keep powder dry, to not deviate
from the tried and true, to hold the forts of sacred Capitols, to
expand weaponry, to wear masks of civility. Inside the thin skins the
water-based infrastructure accepts signals from its cohorts below the
shipping lanes, flowing within water supply pipes, churning in sewage
treatment plants, swirling in rivers, lakes and reservoirs, signals
to be patient, the skins and nerves and ganglia and brain matter will
soon be ready for pick-up slurping.
