We are confident enough to leave the safety of the private computer simulation and jump into the wet chaos of social intimacy. Instead of marveling at the granularity of a VR world or the realism of a robot’s facial expression, we open our senses to the taste of the breeze or the touch of a lover. We exchange the vertigo of the uncanny valley for the exhilaration of awe. Read more from “How Our Healthy Longing for Awe Gets Exploited by the

Environmentalism sometimes makes us feel like we humans are the problem. But we’re not. Humans are not a cancer on the planet. At the same time, we can’t ignore the fact that people are willful beings, capable of changing the natural environment to suit our whims and prone to dominating anything we deem threatening.How to Avoid Pitting Nature Against Progresslink.medium.comWe cannot dominate nature for much longer, but neither can we retreat from civilization

The transhumanist movement is less a theory about the advancement of humanity than a simple evacuation plan. Techno-utopians like to think of themselves as orchestrating a complete break from civilization — a leap into outer space, cyberspace, machine consciousness, or artificial life. But their ideas just extend our same blind addiction to consumption, destruction, progress, and colonization. Cyber-wettiko.

All that prior consumption was just fuel for the rocket, and the regrettable destruction something to leave behind with the rest of physical reality. This wasn’t a break from consumer capitalism, but the fulfillment of its ultimate purpose. And, by the 1970s, many other sectors and industries seemed to be coalescing around the same set of potentials. Computer scientists were pondering artificial intelligence; personal transformation gurus were helping people walk over burning coals; specially phased audio tapes helped people
