Master Space-Based Info-Systems & Drones Or Die
Thousands of years of history might suggest our species is not long for this world.
The improvement of surveillance tools, sensors, computing power, information networks, data transmission and processing methods, and AI is creating a unified global terrestrial, air, and space information environment (the “information battle space”) that provides and increasingly expands unified tactical, operational, and strategic transparency.
So the hard work of directing our human, financial, energy, and material assets towards the slaughter of our competitors is accelerating. You will be an asset to the military-industrial complex, or you will be largely left behind. We are all Rosy the Riveter now.
For another decade, while we commit ecocide, heat the atmosphere, watch genocide on screens, and indulge our addictions (while we still have a dollar or a meme coin), life will go on with our ever-growing awareness that some things are wrong with the way we are doing things, with our life-ways.
But that’s ok for us northern WEIRD populations, as we will still be able to use ‘proxies’ (other people’s blood and treasure) to fight our wars and keep our debt financing (MMT) scams going to feed our oligarchs and prop up their community of service providers and apologists.
Unfortunately, however, our competitors, tired of centuries of colonial domination, humiliation, sanctions, and foreign engineered corruption (as if they didn’t have enough of their own to deal with) having benefited from the greed of global corporations and learned all of their tricks, will have become so stronge that the only way the self rightious, religious fanatics, magical thinkers, and maniacal ideologues of the ‘West’ will have to destroy the potential of a multipolar world will be launching a strategic nuclear war. (This will be okay because the Players have bunkers, I guess.)
As global resources become increasingly scarce, costly, and difficult to acquire and process, the common folk will witness, rather passively (because there is little we can do about anything, and we can’t imagine doing things differently), the violence and turmoil as we stubbornly deny the possibility of nuclear war, because, well, because our tribal chieftains, and their captains and advisors know best. Our leaders are our leaders, after all. We voted for them.
Nearly all modern countries, including many that are not democratic, utilize some form of formal voting process or electoral ritual.
Good people around the world will continue to witness and experience the violence and turmoil, ignorant of the many risks inherent to our predicament.
Flash! Bang! Survivor mode!
Influential Players of the Great Game of the 21st Century are even now beginning to feel that their precious game, the thing that gives their lives meaning, will disappear unless there are fewer players and people. There won’t be enough materials and energy resources to go around for 10 billion people.
“The rush of battle is often a potent and lethal addiction, for war is a drug, an often fatal addiction, because it is good at creating the illusion of meaning.”
“The most dangerous and universal of all military delusions is that war is a way of solving problems.”
It should be evident to ordinary people that the Players feel that many of us are undeserving of ‘help’ or life, superfluous. If our consumption can’t fuel the game, what are we good for?
Crucial elements of the TESCREAL-bundle community’s fantasy are that deserving Players in the near future (see NRx Accelerationism) will have machines as servants powered by fantastic energy sources yet to be hypothesized, but inevitable nonetheless. These technologies, developed by the great men of history and today, without the need for messy governments, will allow the deserving, predestined Uber Men the opportunity to become immortal and continue to conquer the Universe, playing their divine role in creation: that of transforming all energy and materials in the Universe into a great Machine reflecting their supreme, creative genius forever more.
One of the central figures of accelerationism is the British philosopher Nick Land, who taught at Warwick University in the 1990s and then abruptly left academia. “Philosophers are vivisectors,” he wrote in 1992. “They have the precise and reptilian intelligence shared by all who experiment with living things.” Iain Hamilton Grant, who was one of Land’s students, remembers: “There was always a tendency in all of us to bait the liberal, and Nick was the best at it.”
When these Supermen are in charge, God, our species’ supremely utilitarian creation, will step out of our imagination once and for all, and only deserving Players will be left in their temporary fleshy cyborg bodies to enjoy the glorious development of the Machine. Living systems will finally have been brought under the absolute control of Man’s superego.
Consider living systems on this planet. Extinction is the rule for species of life. The only way to ensure our brilliance, or self-conjured divine rights, continue is to turn ourselves into machines independent of living systems.
Keep the faith, pleb and proles, to conquer death, you only have to die, but in the meantime, you will be witness to many glorious battles and achievements.
Immortality was never the goal; our species’ destiny is the Machine.
All hail to our dark heroes!
