Beginning of the end of the slave industries?
When in 2017 Bitcoin peaked the first time. I wondered what good this development really is. Back then I wrote very critically about Bitcoin.
But through my involvement in the critics of patriarchy I was skeptical about other progressive concepts like transhumanism and extropism aswell. But since then I changed my mind.
What has happened? Well I'm still agreeing with the critics of patriarchy concerning elites wanting to exploit people and the planet since they are probably unwilling or unable to live on their own means. That didn't change for me.
But that does not necessarily mean, that every new technology will exxelerate this concept. And bitcoin is one of these technologies.
What is happening right now worldwide reminds me of the burly brawl in Matrix 2. The only answer elites have to the new found seed of freedom, that is developing slowly, is just printing more money and to paralyze their opponents with it.
We have seen this in Geoffrey Eppstein. He was a billionaire with a political influence so high, that he almost managed to prevent his arrest or conviction as a sex offender through influence on the US-american labor minister and the law enforcement agencies, although 10 women were willing to testify against him. [1]
What is happening right now with gamestopp's shares is following the same direction. Hedgefonds get beaten with their own weapons and may only defend themselves against the attack through even more fiat money.
You may observe the same process in what is happening with the german dairy industry, trying to prevent their own (inevitably) downfall by investing 3,5 to 4 Mio. € in an image campaign.[2]
Counter hypothesis
By now I can no longer agree with the largely negative narrative of the critic of patriarchy. I just can not see a given correlation between exploitation and transhumanism. That may be because I am defining transhumanism not the same way as the critics of patriarchy does.The critics of patriarchy is describing transhumanism as a so called program that is going to degrade us a human-machine. Among the technologies there are certainly algorithms regarding humans as a exchangeable cog in the gearbox.
But there is also a theory, assuming that transhumanism is not progressing outside of the human body (like a technology built by humans), but one that has literally always been inside of him. For example, the professor and research director of Belgrade University Djuro Koruga states a
synergetic (classical/quantum) model of DNA information processing, which may help for better understanding the functions of "junk" sequence in genetic code.[3]
Dr. Todd Ovokaitys is describing it a little more precisely in assuming that the 90 % of our DNA that do not contain hereditary information may consist of quantum information for our body and that we are only just beginning to decipher it not only scientifically, but to use it individually, for ourselves.[4]
I hope that there is something to these theses. I hope that all of the observations we are currently allowed to make, i.e. the fact that more and more people are waking up and using new technologies to move towards an independent but sustainable life, are evidence that not all people who one can count among the elites, are interested in exploitation, but really want to improve life on earth.
I'll explain more about the positive developments I am speaking of in an upcoming post.
