Another END of The WORLD is POSSIBLE!

"Elon Musk invests in Anime? Twitter (X)? Fucking NeuraLinK? Why do you wanna live? What's the point? At least as far as these gentlemen were concerned, this was a talk about the future of technology. Taking their cue from Elon Musk colonizing Mars, Peter Thiel reversing the aging process, or Sam Altman and Ray Kurzweil uploading their minds into supercomputers, they were preparing for a digital future that had a whole lot less to do with making the world a better place than it did with trascending the human condition altogether and insulating themselves from a very real and present danger of climate change, rising sea levels, mass migrations, global pandemics, nativist panic, and resource depletion.

For them, the future of technology is really about just one thing: escape. Like to New Zealand while reading 'Sidenotes On The Apocalypse'. Stonks."

"Still in the child-sacrifice/adrenochrome harvesting room led Reverend Hunter S. Thompson; fragments of rotting human flesh and pulpy, grey matter pits hardwired to an elecronic circuit-board; soldered into the circuitry of the zombified culture-scene, a cyber-flesh-machine, amongst discarded consumer-objects, hologram commercial advertisement generator; effective medical-organ harvesting techniques from a 19th century alchemical-surgery handbook for black-magicians and sorcerers in a middle school chemistry lab; MDMA productions centres in third-floor flats in Bristol.

"New Gonzo, that kind of shit. I became super nihilistic after I hit the road. This is the new gonzo journalism and we need more of it... a zoomer Hunter S. Thompson. In new genres, the craft is thinking on one's feet. And being able to use a material based on a site, maybe the site determines what the material is. It tells you everything. Still images invite a sort of retinal drifting. An oculus drift.

"So we and our elaborately evolving computers may meet each other halfway. Someday a human being, named perhaps Fred White, may shoot a robot named Pete Something-or-other, which has come out of a General Electric factory, and to his surprise see it weep and bleed. And the dying robot may shoot back and, to its surprise, see a wisp of gray smoke arise from the electric pump that it supposed was Mr. White's beating heart. It would be rather a great moment of truth for both of them."
