The comically pathological thing about the techno optimist manifesto is that it came into existence at all. What imagined forces generated this response? In the name of healing, we offer sticky notes.
I am at one with all that is
I am all that is
Other species: so other
Oneness would just drag me down
We are the apex predator; the lightning works for us
Interconnectedness is for losers
Market discipline flows like wild undammed rivers
Monopolists will naturally take care of others, because we pay them to do it
I do not think derangement means what you think it means
Social engineering: less social, more engineering
Market distortions are just haters having their own little party
It’s consensual market day every day!
Luddites were just trying to stay relevant
Telos for me but not for thee
Unions are just jealous of machine efficiencies
Innovators are the boddhisatvas of the market
Someday we will no longer need to eat plants. Innovate!
Other people: not real
Birds, fish, insects: definitely not real
Biosphere: really unproductive
So much not even quantifiable
Pollinators: inefficient
Angels and demons: seriously?
Sex with a robot is always consensual
AI will serve the worthy
The feedback loop of intelligence means the environment will fix itself before we run out of diesel
All physicality should be reduced to Soylent
We could make the Soylent on the Moon
Market distortions are just abstracted haters
Tech will free us from having bodies
Technological progress leads to material abundance for everyone
Edit this: it does not. Resolve
Technology lets you do more and more with less and less until eventually you can do everything with nothing
Reminder: Have House Manager ask cleaning staff to stop taking these down!
