  • “Science has failed this world”

    In the future, 33% of the human population will retire their cell phones and laptops in favor of a new technology which connects the human nervous system to the Internet. But something dark is coming to threaten this path of accelerating progress… The optimistic future (where technology will solve all our problems, where digital eyes…

  • “Human Complexity Cannot Be Digitized”

    I see trans-humanism as a philosophy that use the latest technological tools to fulfill its goals; it is a contemporary surrogate at the millennial belief of transcending death and acquiring perfection. Both religious theological frameworks and quasi-religious biotechnological fantasies suggest that aging and fragility can be conquered and death overcome (Leigh Turner, “Biotechnology as Religion”, Nature Biotechnology, Volume 22, Nr. 6, June…

  • Everything At Once

    Iată  o mică exemplificare a cât de ușor se poate filosofa cântând: în ”Everything at once” Lenka ne îndeamnă suav să îmbrățișăm un panteism integrator al diferitelor atribute, chiar și al unor contrarii care nu se simpatizează deloc. Să fii toate într-unul și, pe lângă multe altele, să fii și drept și greșit (”as right…

  • Sic hobbitur ad astra!

    Virgilius vorbea în Eneida despre ”calea către stele” (divinitate/nemurire – macte nova virtute, puer, sic itur ad astra, Eneida, IX. 641). Există un pod între cele două lumi din Eneida, iar Apolo este cel care îi vorbește lui Iulus despre escatologia lumii subterane și a celei divine. Interesant este faptul cum în această economie a devenirii…

In the future, 33% of the human population will retire their cell phones and laptops in favor of a new technology which connects the human nervous system to the Internet. But something dark is coming to threaten this path of accelerating progress…

The optimistic future (where technology will solve all our problems, where digital eyes will process cynical data of an quantitative reality) and the techno-narcissism (with singularity as the self-realization of God, the final step of replacing the old God with a new version), imagined by many authors, are accompanied by the nightmare of a technological apocalypse (or technological nihilism, using Heidegger’s vocabulary). It seems that every time when people have beautiful dreams, they are accompanied by the dark shadow of some disastrous predictions. The hygienic aesthetics of our digital age meets the aesthetics of destruction and decay of a possible post-technological age.

Which is stronger: idolatry of hope or idolatry of destruction?

It is prohibited/or possible for humans to become God through science?

Where will the science of today lead us tomorrow?
