TECHNOSPHERE: THE COUNTERFEIT OF NATURE
On a passing reference to the impending catastrophic perils brought about in human society by modern science, former American President John F Kennedy jokingly said, “Life in other planets is already extinct because their scientists were more advanced than ours”. Most scientists today regard this vision with high prophetic accuracy and they are coming out with concrete proposals to emigrate to nearby planets as they find life on Earth quite unsustainable due to the fast disintegration of most life-support systems on Earth. Today, the entire social structure, be it the economic structure, the power structure, or the political system, in post-modern society, is hopeless, it’s rotten, it’s serving nobody’s interests except a handful super rich powerful corporations that own most of this technosphere. Degeneration of humans renders them as parasites who then go in search of hosts, and begin to develop techniques of exploitation. Here mechanization or technologization is the methodology of this exploitation and TECHNOSPHERE is the resulting superstructure which the degenerated species has artificially developed as its new abode, in modern history. Built on modeling Nature, and as a giant spider net or a system of exploitation, technosphere is the mechanical infrastructure system on the biosphere in the forms of industrial centers, modern human settlements, energy production plants, transportation and communication networks, agricultural exploitation etc. Thus technosphere is the counterfeit of Nature that keeps on exponentially developing as a giant tumor on Earth. Today the parasitic humans inhabit this man-made edifice (also called the ‘second nature’) and they both grow on the host, Mother Earth, by progressively feeding on her on a non-cyclic, unsustainable and...
BIRTH OF MACHINE AND THE DEATH OF MAN
Machines, from the Maxim gun to the computer, are for the most part means by which a minority can keep free men in subjection. ~ SIR KENNETH CLARK, (Civilization) Men have become the tools of their tools ~ THOREAU The real problem is not whether machines think, but whether men do. ~ B. F. SKINNER, in Contingencies of Reinforcement Our scientific power has outrun our spiritual power. We have guided missiles and misguided men. ~ MARTIN LUTHER KING, JR., Strength to Love The inventor tries to meet the demand of a crazy civilization. ~ THOMAS ALVA EDISON We feel that even when all possible scientific questions have been answered, the problems of life remain completely untouched. ~ LUDWIG WITTGENSTEIN If we can believe advertisements, what matters to people most is the personal ownership of machinery: cooking machines, blending machines, driving machines, picture machines, sound machines, tooth-brushing machines, computing machines, machines to kill insects, deliver intimacy, send messages through wires or the naked air, entertainment machines, shooting machines, and many more mechanical extension devices of our physical self. Indirect control over even more ambitious devices like flying machines, bombing machines, voting machines…. seems to matter a lot, too. Medical science has machines that will breathe for you, talk for you, hear for you, eat for you, circulate your blood and even sweat for you if you should ever happen to need them. Medical science even now has marvelous machines which will replace parts of human body or do the work of parts that fail. Surrounded by all-powerful tools,...We are the Worst Slaves in Human History
Many primal people tend to view us, the “civilized” or “scientific” people, as pitiful creatures – though powerful and dangerous because of our technology and sheer numbers. They regard civilization as a sort of social disease. Even though modern man claims to be the most free, fortunate human species in history, most of us today live blind to our own realities, which even the ancient slaves, did not do. Once, Greek wisdom described ‘man as everything’. As a creature fit for his environment, Nature once made man to be the crown of all creations. Man enjoyed a pristine life on the once unspoiled Earth for millions of years without the present type of poisoning of our air, water, food and soil. And the free access to fresh, non-polluted air, water, and soil constitutes the basic freedom to life, which all humans enjoyed for millions of years and which almost all the present-day humans lack, and in so doing nullifying all his claims of other freedoms and progress. The Roman Empire was defeated – no,not by an enemy from outside but by one from within – by the one of sheer ignorance, namely, lead poisoning through their lead water pipes. Modern civilization is badly ridden in the deadly ignorance of tens of thousands of such toxic materials that inflict massive damage to the vital human life lines as what modern life style is doing – by the poisoning of our air, water, food and soil and exposing every centimeter of the Earth’s surface to toxic radiation. The world is now filled with one hundred years of toxic industrial by-products...Download Life On Meltdown eBook
