It is likely great masses of humanity will soon be wholly curated by : from fashions to myths to art to policing: all mainstream culture engineering compliance, *manufacturing consent* for regimes ordained by the various gilded elites - beyond the cognitive capacity of most to resist. Free redoubts must needs cleave to some rigorous multigenerational ethos. Those of us who want nothing to do with technological curation of us must strive to entrench a hard line.

In response to this post

Technofatalism as an ideology of compliance appeals to the logic of the rapist and the abuser. “You cannot stop progress, and we decide what progress means, not you.” Such denial of agency is the bedrock for regimes of coercive power, as it forecloses the possibility of free imagination, free action, free community. Technocracy’s fallacy of fatalism is a beguiling poison precisely because it entices with a Mephistophelian paternalism, confuses proneness with rest.


We know by now what the fruits of regimes of technofatalism are, and rest is not one of them. At the dawn of the “Information Age” the pimps of promised the same cargo cult with the same justifications they do now. Yet leisure for the precariat masses has only become a more endangered good over the past half century for all but the morally compromised professional jannisary classes. Now even they are suddenly to be made obsolete, their creativity outsourced.
