Social operating system we theoretically need to transition to in order to avoid social, ecological, environmental extinction level event/s

— David Sarac (@davidsarac) October 25, 2019

It’s a good sign that I, and many other people, have come to the same conclusion: that there is and will be a fundamental phase transition of the human operating system. I call it “new minds” but it’s really a new sociocultural and philosophical framework that is developing and will be required to survive the next thousand years. If this transformation does not occur, we are not necessarily doomed from an extinction perspective, but might as well be, for there will be no progress and only regression.

I don’t know what these new minds will be like, exactly — but I can tell you by necessity it’ll be nothing like the world we now experience.

I wanted to go to this so bad when I was a kid. My parents wouldn’t pay for it though, and wouldn’t let me ask my grandparents. I know now they could not afford it but that idea doesn’t press quite as heavily when you’re 8.

To not get fucked by the modern environment, you have to repress the natural human tendency to be irrational and spontaneous, and instead train yourself to be rational and structured at all times. Yuck.

Yep. Neoliberal “progressive” technocracy has overtaken and subsumed everything. Even people that I mostly disagree with can see that.

If this is progress, I want no part of it.

Now universities and corporations regulate their subject’s speech (even jokes), who they flirt with, who they date, and countless other minutia of daily life. They want us to interact like drones serving a giant machine, with humanity – and all its mistakes and wonders – squeezed out.

It bothers me that people are mostly fine with their lives being so tightly regulated — and most don’t even notice it. They think it’s natural, just the way things must be. The level of social control in the US truly isn’t that much different than in China. It’s just enforced differently. And yes, I do have direct experience with both countries.

When I say I have libertarian sympathies, this is what I mean: that people (not corporations) should have maximal freedom.

Even so-called liberals have been duped (and have duped themselves) with “protection from harm” justifications for removing essential freedoms, with the only real entities being protected nearly all of the time is corporations and their imperatives.

We live in a world that has a lack of beauty

We’ve delegated beauty to women, and the only form of beauty we can engage with is sexual beauty

But our buildings are ugly

Our bodies are ugly

Our clothing is ugly

We live in a post modern relativist hell of ugliness

Beauty makes no profit, so we are told its wrong to care about it. But living in a drab world of featureless gray is not how humans flourish. It is unworkable long term, even if all you care about is profit.

I’m not sure what the future holds. But I am certain that so-called progressivism nor conservatism, or any other conventional contemporaneous ideology, holds any keys to it or will be the dominant one in 50 years time.
