Machines do not represent progress: they represent standing waves of self-expanding atrocity. And the possibility of ‘free’ or even ‘clean’ energy doesn’t solve this problem… it exacerbates it, explosively.
“To every living system and ecology in nature, the human relationship with technology and the activity of machines is like a nuclear bomb that is wiping out biological time, development, embodiment, relation and context… in both directions in time, in more domains each moment, that will continue to explode into more and new kinds of damage in both directions…forever. The effect is unimaginable.
But what we are doing is not just shattering the web of life from which we emerge, we are obliterating its origins and futures in dimensions we are too preoccupied, strident, and ‘sophisticated’ to concern ourselves with. Problematically, our bodies and minds, our cultures and humanity emerge directly from what we are recursively slaughtering into technologies and commodities. This makes cancer or HIV look like a romp in a fantasy playground.
This activity is like a nuclear weapon that recursively invents new dimensions for its radiation to wipe out, forward and backwards in time. It is the opposite of a star, and far worse than a bomb. It is going off, right now, in every cell and organelle, bacterium, creature and virus on Earth. And we are insisting this is ‘progress’ and even ‘ascension’. Our relationship with representational cognition went haywire, and until we repair that… our machine-addiction represents ‘a fire’ at the origins and future of life on Earth. And our own minds, cultures… and potentials for humanity, community, or anything resembling actual intelligence.”
