@_5cyth3_: A population in physical decline given ever-greater technological power to reconstruct itself — whether cosmetically, medically, or soon genetically — while neglecting the underlying cause(s) of that decline. Technology addresses only the symptoms of decline; in this way technology manages each generation’s problems just well enough that the social and evolutionary pressure to actually address the underlying cause effectively disappears. But each generation who relies on technological compensation only leaves the next generation a worse baseline to start from. Man is thus experiencing an escalating dependence on technology, and one might imagine a point at which the only remaining choice is indeed continuous acceleration, since the only alternative would be collapse. At this point it no longer becomes a matter of “hyper moiran” or of some Promethean defiance of Nature, but a rather pitiful matter of preservation, and hence a degenerate preservative basis for transhumanism. #aesthetic #art
