@ebbot 2/2 advantages are widespread. Often, too, the disadvantages for the local group are barely perceptible (to public opinion) and the global advantages for the population carry much more weight. --Jaques Ellul The Technological Bluff (1988) #technology #dystopia

@ebbot 2/2 socially. Its only logic is the simplistic logic of artificial machines. Technocratic competence is that of experts whose general blindness envelops specialized lucidity. Socially and politically, technocratic action can only be mutilated and mutilating. --Jaques Ellul The Technological Bluff (1988) #technology #dystopia

If a venture carries with it a considerable potential risk, even if this is not normally foreseeable or short-term, the course of wisdom is not to undertake it. This principle would suppose full mastery of the situation and disbelief in progress. For this reason there is no chance that it will ever be applied. --Jaques Ellul The Technological Bluff (1988) #technology #dystopia

Instead of removing the conditions that make people depressed, modern society gives them antidepressant drugs. In effect, antidepressants are a means of modifying an individual%27s internal state in such a way as to enable him to tolerate social conditions that he would otherwise find intolerable. --Ted Kaczynki, Technological Slavery (2010) #technology #dystopia

No social arrangements, whether laws, institutions, customs or ethical codes, can provide permanent protection against technology. History shows that all social arrangements are transitory; they all change or break down eventually. But technological advances are permanent within the context of a given civilization. --Ted Kaczynki, Technological Slavery (2010) #technology #dystopia

The timing of the death of Gloria Creena could not have been any worse. Not only did the death of the woman responsible for the 1994 Crisis interrupt an important Agency Division investigation into a leaked copy of the Pnakotic Manuscripts, but the National Police Force refuse to let the case out of their teeth. Now, Agency's Man In Black enforcer, Vidcund Därk, must conspire against a rising star homicide detective, Niles Clayton, to both solve the crime and keep Clayton in the dark as to its true nature.

After all, we can't have an important state secret like the existence of magic leak out, now, can we?

@ebbot 2/2 living in a continuously mobile society that has no frame of reference, in accelerated changes in forms, in work, in speed, in employment, and in knowledge. The state of permanent disposability that is imposed on us is shocking to us all. There are too many new ideas, novel situations, unconnected techniques, towns without roots. --Jaques Ellul The Technological Bluff (1988) #technology #dystopia

The system HAS TO force people to behave in ways that are increasingly remote from the natural pattern of human behavior. For example, the system needs scientists, mathematicians and engineers... It can%27t function without them. So heavy pressure is put on children to excel in these fields. It isn%27t natural for an adolescent human being to spend the bulk of his time sitting at a desk absorbed in study... --Ted Kaczynki, Technological Slavery (2010) #technology #dystopia

Kto czytał? Co myślicie?

"Naukowcy słusznie uważają Harariego za dyletanta i dlatego go ignorują. Naszym zdaniem to duży błąd. Bajek pisanych przez naczelnego ideologa III Rzeszy Alfreda Rosenberga, autora książki „Mit XX wieku”, też nikt nie traktował poważnie. Historycy filozofii bojkotowali tę książkę w okresie międzywojennym i odmawiają omawiania jej po dziś dzień. Mimo to, w imię współtworzonej przez niego „narracji” wymordowano wiele milionów ludzi. Przemoc udaje naukowość i dlatego trzeba zawczasu demaskować szatki, w które się ubiera jako mity, podszywające się tylko pod naukę".

Ten fragment odbija to, o czym myślę od dawna, gdy czytam kolejne "mądrości", "manifesty" i "kodeksy" szefów wielkich korporacji informatycznych (#BigTechy). Harari jest wyrazicielem ich chorych idei, a wizja przyszłości, którą przedstawiają, jawi mi się jako koszmar i katastrofa ludzkości (a więc nas wszystkich).
