THEORY
Anti-Technology Perspectives link
Digital reality has given us artificial life. Not articificial
life as an abstract telematic experience fabaricated by techno-labs, but
artificial life as life as it is actually lived today. Cybertechnology
has escaped the digital labs, and has inscribed itself on our capitve bodies.

The dogma I object to is composed of a set of interlocking beliefs
and doesn't have a generally accepted overarching name as yet, though I
sometimes call it "cybernetic totalism." It has the potential to
transform human experience more powerfully thant any prior ideology, religion,
or political system ever has, partly because it can be so pleasing to the
mind, at least initially, but mostly because it gets a free ride on the
overwhelmingly powerful technologies that happen to be created by people
who are, to a large degree, true believers.

The
ethics of using a Unabomber link discussion
Technology advances with great rapidity and threatens freedom at
many different points at the same time (crowding, rules and regulations,
increasing dependence on large organizations, propaganda and other psychological
techniques, genetic engineering, invasion of privacy through surveillance
devices and computers, etc.) To hold back any ONE of the threats
to freedom would require a long different social struggle.
