Can Earth Support a Human Future? Maybe, If the Rich Consume Less.
1y 6mon ago in worldnews@lemmy.ml from truthout.orgSociety developed the tools to manipulate humans based on common errs we make, and so of course the logical end-point is the continued control of those already in power. We've also deprived the vast majority of people from the tools for counteracting common mistakes, behind paywalls, time theft, and esoteric elitist language. By this, we've kept the means of inoculating ourselves against control out of reach.
The rich directly define how this world by who they lobby, what charities they fund or deprive, and what they make their news outlets pedal. They are the reason for ignorance, stupidity, and fanaticism.
First we must educate others in order to inoculate them. Then we must organize to wrench our power back to ourselves and away from the elite.

Anon doesn't want to join the flesh nexus
1y 6mon ago in greentext@sh.itjust.works from lemmy.mlIt's about technological advancement and its augmentation of the human condition (think social media, phones, and the internet). There are people who resist these changes, often mislabelled as 'luddites' (the Luddites of the 19th century specifically opposed automation for its threat to jobs, but were reprehensive of all technology as a part of that).
This meme is just taking those who berate Luddites to their ultimate conclusion, which is a hive mind where all personal autonomy is lost, and it could be argued they cease to exist as a distinct individual. The flesh part of it is merely a means of making it more grotesque.
I believe it's just a view of humanity eventually evolving towards a hive mind that's a single consciousness.
It's not really new. The concept exists in sci fi. First case seems to be in 'The Human Termites' in David H. Keller's 1929 'Wonder Stories' (according to Wikipedia). The specific idea of the flesh nexus is mostly just an evolution of that.
