w/ Laihall: Combat Techno-Transegalitarianism [PREVIEW]

My second conversation with Laihallll is followed by my own extended meditations on the secret society in prehistory and the present. I develop my hypothesis that the post-capitalist dystopia which the ruling class are currently ushering us into may be most accurately described as not techno-feudalism but rather techno-transegalitarianism. Indeed, I suspect that the term “transhumanism” was coined with reference to these transegalitarian relations of production. With a fully automated means of production, all the same forces tending towards a stateless, classless society return, at least as strong as they were for egalitarian hunter gatherers who could get everything they needed directly from the landscape with only a fifteen-hour ‘work week’. The only way to fight this tendency toward equality and the death of scarcity will be with psychological warfare on the populace in the mode of the most exploitative of the ancient secret societies, but this time armed with modern social networking and surveillance technology. Accordingly, I issue a call for developing counter–secret societies in the mode of the ancient counter–secret societies, of which there was also a robust ecosystem in prehistory: call it paleo-Leninism.
