RE: There Is No Left Or Right In Space: The Politics Of Sci-Fi
Excellent... very well done. I watched a video not long ago about technocracy- a new post-modern futuristic society envisioned by another group of totalitarians who wish to implement a new elite served by technological slaves (I guess we inferiors will have to go). It's something out of Philip K Dick only worse!
Thank you.
As unfortunate as it seems, I have come to the idea that as long as we have classes in society, we may, of necessity, create a mutually assured destruction to restrain the exclusionary, and genocidal technocracy who wish to claim the world at the rest of our expense. This 'class detente' appears to me to be the only way forward as long as the genocidal elitists remain a threat. Life, liberty, and property for all, or existence for none. The universe is big enough for all of us.
Does this seem overboard to you? I have wracked my brain looking for another option, but this seems to be the closest to a demonstrable, historically functional solution.
Only in the age of information has this become remotely possible. If the genocidalists wish to get rid of us, let them fall too, by their own creations meant for our destruction.
Personally, I'd rather we all live. I'm trying to cure aging, myself.
I'm with you... I'd prefer to see us all live in some semblance of harmony. I've been thinking about a post about Cultural Marxism. CM is like a cancer and the only way to get rid of a cancer is to kill it. These people are never going to say; whoops, sorry, we were wrong. Their sole purpose is destruction. They offer no solution, only nihilism. I haven't written it because I'm not trying to incite people to violence... but it's the only "cure."
It is delicate to refrain from incitement, and still urge individuals to take control of their lives and futures, while a small group maintain that they own everything, including the rest of us.
CULTural Marxism seems to be a fundamental divide and conquer within an exclusionary ideological false reality. Intelligent people get caught up in it, it's a shame.
Makes me question their intellect!
Indeed it does. Many people allow their trust and their altruism to carry them away. This usually rectifies itself once they are bitten by it badly enough.
Their mistake in seeing everyone as a friend does not change the fact that many people see them as an enemy, or at least a resource.
I look at everyone as a friend... until they prove different- then watch the fuck out!
I find that to be the best policy.
question their integrity and their foresight, intelligence is blind if it's steered wrong.
Intelligence is overrated... I look for one thing- HONOR
my man :)
cancer is cured by being healthy, cancer cannot live and is a response from your own organism, it's a response to stress, heavy metals and fear.
maybe the same thing applies to the cancerous ideologies
aging is not a bad thing, it gets you perspective and a "time frame" we are supposed to grow wise with age. That's a spiritual topic. I'm kind of with you on that, but in the grand scheme it gets quite diluted and having everybody be ageless, without earning it is counter productive :D have you seen mr Nobody by any chance, great movie, I'd advise you t see it, it was from a french director.
have a nice day :)
Thank you for your thoughts.
I haven't seen Mr Nobody. I'll check it out, thanks for the recommendation.
By curing aging, I didn't intend to stop the gaining of experience, or becoming ageless. The gaining of experience cannot be stopped while one remains alive. The agelessness issue is only a thing to consider in a world where death is rare or nonexistent. Literal immortality is a fantasy that cannot be achieved. Our average life expectancy has been increasing for some time, why not three hundred years? Can you imagine how much more judicious most people would be if they had the choice of being a wage slave for two hundred fifty years, or investing in a future where they can be free?
It would be like living in a world where the creators of the ideas behind our current civilization are still alive. Imagine if Shakespeare had only died one hundred years ago, and Thomas Paine was still alive. The wealth of our world might be able to increase faster than the richest could swallow it all. Imagine what could be learned and accomplished in three hundred years, by even one inspired person.
I remember I brought this subject up once before and we agreed much along the same lines, I'm still skeptical and this is a good example, I suppose I like arguments
another point on this topic comes from yet another movie, The Fountain
trailers are so "dramatic" anyways it's a decent movie, some weird questions are raised there, the music is awesome thanks to the compositor, pretty much it's a long and strange movie, the only one close to it that beats it in strangeness is Melancholia, great visuals, but I couldn't sit through it :D I might have to rewatch it now that I realise time has passed.
And to finish up with some Alan Wats that came up while I was searching for the first snippet.
well I might have went a bit overboard with this comment :D
hope you find something interesting.
I do like your scientific documentaries since I rarely watch, well I am watching more and more as it stands.
