Because there is a lot of talk lately about the Greek root μετα-, which was adopted by the now legendary social network facebook as meta, let's see a little better what is introduced slowly-slowly in our already immune, boring, agoraphobic lives.
Metahumanism, according to wikipedia, "refers to the combination of biological and technological nature, with the dominant criterion being the organ of intellect and is a philosophical movement that supports the transformation of the human condition by developing and making widely available advanced technologies to enhance human ".
The term also refers directly to transhumanism but also in the direct interaction of man and machine, with the ultimate goal of immortality through technology, if I "translate" these concepts freely. And as everything around us is mechanized, the last thing left to be meta-humanized is the soul and as a result of it, the emotion, which either unfortunately or fortunately is (still) missing from robots. Technology puts its best efforts to adopt the human soul, aiming to its emotions and impulses whereas humans, as rational beings, often and spontaneously associate them all, otherwise they would be equated with animals (although lately it turns out that even animals have something close to emotion and fortunately do not envision becoming robots).
Of course, this whole subculture - and let me disagree with the term philosophical movement - of meta-humanism, is cultivated artfully and not by chance from everything that affects the average person today, in common: mass media and social media.
After television has entered our homes, the way was wide open for advertising (which in any case preceded, with a large spread since the 1930s, based on very detailed guides to influencing the masses) and mass brainwashing. If you travel back in time, when the famous greek shipowner Aristotelis Onassis started his empire through the tobacco trade, you would see with your own eyes that he always recruited the epoch's celebrities to advertise his cigarettes, giving the absolute glamor to ordinary mortals who dreamed of looking like their idols. In fact, at that time, liberated women were distinguished for their habit of smoking, which was unthinkable until then.
It is astonishing how the times and habits are changing, when coming to today, smoking is considered at least "disgusting" for the health of a well-to-do society, defined by strong, well-groomed bodies that are "sculptured" in gyms, health sensors through hand gadgets, cycling, running and healthy vegan foods that fight the slaughter of animals. Speaking of foods, technology introduced us that will soon be eating 3d printed artificial meat steaks and high protein value insects, because that's what wise experts say. And so far, all is well - or almost well - although in fact not at all rewarded by possible suspicions of enrichment of future aspiring sovereigns to the detriment of farmers and stockbreeders. Remember that purpose always sanctifies the means. There are specific directives in everything that is offered to you for your health, wealth and well being, but at the same time children in Africa are still dying of hunger and diseases, while there is abundance of food and medicines eager to save them. When water purification technologies and other resources are given, there is no excuse for not saving lives. However, the problem remains and while we are very concerned about the climate change and the pandemic, using our best technologies to fight them, we do not seem to care equally about the spectrum of hunger, which may knock on our "civilized" door. And how many locusts can you fry to eat and ease your hunger? What the heck am I saying now? Watch the movie La Nue'e (The Swarm) and you will get it.
I wish not to get off topic here, so I return to the issue and search for how wisely a background is set up to convince you that you tend to be what others want you to be.
For example, let me remind you that transgender people, whom an entire empire of influence is shamelessly investing in, have always existed in societies, were they were the usual victims of relentless bullying and / or violence, and it was not long before they were accused of spreading AIDS. Which, well, it had spreaded through Africa, right? Today, these same people are being used to usher in a new era of the asexual man, who uses the neutral article in his name and for the sake of it, some opinion leaders are tearing their clothes to defend the rights of those who want to belong to the neutral sex. Why so much fuss, anyway? As with gay pride parades, except from the overly kitsch events in front of the eyes of children, who really cares about them? At least not those who are concerned with themselves and do not judge others, something that most thinkers and opinion leaders today like to do selectively, obviously violating individual rights and democracies. It is hypocritical enough- in my humble opinion- to talk about the freedoms of one particular group of people and not another. Or perhaps is it not hypocritical, but indicative of what awaits us all? Is it - perhaps - the mask that hides so many secrets, after all, for our future?
Philippe Guillemant, Doctor of Physics, specialist in Artificial Intelligence at CNRS, warns us. According to him, with the mandatory mask we are now at step number 3 on the scale leading to the robotic man. It is up to us whether we will collectively choose another path that will make us change our final destiny https://www.newsplanet09.info/2020/09/philippe-guillemant-cnrs-n-3.html . And take care: the doctor speaks only about the masks.What about the rest signals of heading to "nobodiness" ?
The means of influencing opinion or even lifestyle, in order to attract you as a fun or - more internetically - a follower, remain so cunningly placed and designed, that one can not recognize them in a conscious way, or critical thinking. Netfix, for example, which you honor with your time and money, because you like its series and movies, is constantly "throwing" to you scenes of gay couples and plenty of sex with such persistence, that you wonder if the movie or series is aimed at an adult, or it offers sex education classes for children. There are even such embarassing moments when you think "ok, I got it, why so much literature ???" In essence, the message passes to you, whether you are receptive or not, in order to accept it and follow the plot of the "damned" film or series. Strange, isn't it?
Aiming to mass humane
If you have read about the psychology of the masses (see Gustave Le Bon: "The psychology of the masses", published by Zitros, and Sigmund Freud "The psychology of the masses and the analysis of the Ego" published by Nikas / Hellenic Education SA), you fully understand the pursuit of a mass acceptance of the IDEA. In fact, when the masses acquire a soul, then mass obedience to leaders of any kind of ideology is a toy. I am not the one who says it, but himself, Edward Bernays, the father of public relations, american business consultant and nephew of Sigmund Freud, who knew very well the art of manipulation and propaganda through the unconscious. He said (in 1928) that "connecting a product with unconscious desires can persuade people to buy things, and in general the unconscious can manipulate crowds, not information." So you see, information is not the issue. You handle it the way you want. The "purchase" of the product, however, is inevitable, because you are slowly learning to accept the idea of another, because it is imposed on you through repetition (and /or compulsion, do not forget). Of course, Bernays also talked about buyers of products, but do the masses "buy" the ideas, after all, of a very clever influencer? Today, a glance at the televisions and the media, as of course on social media, is enough to fill your head with desires, visions, concerns, fears, obsessions, insecurities, conflicting hopes, granted loves with strangers and so much more. Information, as a body, does not really exist, as Bernays rightly says. It is hidden behind unconscious messages, which, instead of projected they are transformed into what the advertiser or the influencer wants the "buyer" to perceive.
So, when the fashion designers all of sudden remember that normal women are not "hangers" nor anorexic models with dull faces and blurred looks (imitating that of a robot?), but overweight girls who advertise their extravagance of their beauty next to the category of anorexics, be sure that there is an obvious need to sell you an idea, not a dress, or blouse or pants. What they are rather seeking, is to tell you that the extreme is in fashion. And fashion did not suddenly love feminine curves, but it certainly loves exaggeration. Why, don't all the fashion designers withdraw the anorexic standards from the catwalks, have you ever wondered? Why don't they restore the sound standards of 90s models that are so lacking nowadays? Why do they insist on luring young girls into exhausting diets and heroin addiction patterns?
Fashion loves monsters and influencers do their job
As it seems, the golden rule no longer satisfies both creators and visionaries. It is easy to discern an obsession with teratocracy and teratology, camouflaged and perfumed like the cock of luxury, where anything unnatural is passed for something different and worthy of respect and acceptance. Opinionists may wish to drag mankind into something else, away from the timeless standards that inspired almost all the representatives of the fine arts, for the sake of a revolutionary liberation, for the sake of a new age. Visit any designer's collections and you will see the male-female "all in one" prototype over-projected, all proposing the neutral. Men who look like women and vice versa, daily squat on the catwalks wearing expensive models of haute couture brands and all the lengths and widths of fashion are mixed like a "Russian salad". Target; You understood it well. Meta Humanism. The asexual human. Even better, a cyborg instead of man. Hide the face behind a glittering rhinestone mask, or a shiny helmet with wings and feel great!
The super duper new (and many of them advertised as eco-friendly) materials that settle on the human body like cartons, completely hostile to the most of the human anatomy that the great fashion designer Ferragamo studied as to create its human-friendly shoes (his story is in my previous post) are promoted as innovative, great and trendy. O tempora, o mores! according to Cicero. Strange,ridiculous and distorting fashion for both men and women, becomes the absolute "status quo" of the dystopian new age, which seems to hate anything human and normal.
Going back to history of the masses and their psychology, it is necessary to remind you that many fashion influencers bet on the minimum self-esteem of the person who has no opinion about himself and must be "dressed" according to the requirements of some "experts", even if these experts tell him to be ridiculed. In the relevant reality shows, where fashion is shown and hundreds of young people give everything for a little publicity and a possibe entrance in modeling, the "tax" to pay is the abolition of any aesthetics and unfortunately humiliation by some judges (thankfully not all).
If we seek things and facts about influencers, we will probably find that many of them have absolutely nothing to do with fashion, nor do they seem to love it even as a hobby. Follow the money and you will simply get your results. Take a look at who is financing them, or who are they financing and you will understand. In this life, there is nothing left to chance. Everything and everyone is guided by a purpose and a goal. Nowadays the goal is neutralization and the loss of individuality, since it is convenient for manipulation and obedience. Identification serves only the numbering of the human being, in order to serve his obligations to his influencer / mentor and to become a "machine" that provides services, produces money and consumes units, no matter what those units are. Look to the future and see how soon the money will start to disappear.
Paranoid Android & Meta Human Dating
Let's go to more specialized fields, now, to see exactly where opinion leaders could guide you. Do not tell me that even once you were not looking for new technologies, AI (artificial intelligence) and virtual reality, especially if you are young and a gadgets lover. First of all, look at your very expensive iPhone, the android that is in your hands 24 hours a day. You live and depend on a robot, which just happens to be called a mobile phone, but has abilities to scan you and even inform you about your health and vital functions. Connected - and for your entertainment - with bigger screens,it puts you in virtual reality. From there, you can live wherever and however you want. You can be another person and do things that in your daily life you would not dare to imagine. Isn't it liberating? Of course it is. Oh what promises you are offered!!! Another self, living in a non-existent universe. Or better in a virtual universe! Welcome to utopia and once it satisfies you, your addiction (hypothetically always) is a toy for the anonymous influencer. He does not care if you lose yourself and need (hypothetically always) 28 sessions with your psychologist or hundreds of pills to recover from your obsessions and schizophrenia. He can even secretly count your entire range of activities around a single mobile phone, offering data to make it easier for someone to lock you up in a psychiatric hospital (oh yes, hypothetically speaking). I am neither promoting conspiracy theories here, nor am I trying to convince you. But if, however, something is true in the facts I point out here, then you should worry. It happens. It is a market rule. And it happens, because the next mobile phone model that will come out next Easter will be advertised -as in the years of innocence- like the chocolate eggs for the perfect gift for your children! And you will run to get it, like so many other mums do, due to the years of plenty. It will give you safety, some time to relax and ways to entertain your children. And if among the cartoons, they accidentally enter the dark web, do not worry, there is a complaint center. Seriously now,how many children are lost through internet fishing (not phising), don't you know? If you have heard of children trafficking, then you can imagine how technology works for criminals. Let 's be honest: you, too, recently became jealous of your ostentatious girlfriend with the very expensive mobile phone that was leaned meaningfully on the table and you hurried to buy it in turn. As a new model, it has multiple capabilities to serve you, always based on your needs. Offering you its intelligence, applications, facilitating your work, your shopping, your business appointments, it can even make it easier for you to find your next partner. How many dating pop-ups have you seen lately by chance?
Okay, we're not talking about a virtual partner, yet. However, it can be done, or presented to you like this, without you having the slightest idea. Maybe because of the little time, the boredom of getting dressed and groomed for a date that may not work, or just because of a new pandemic that will lock you - again - at home, you choose to connect with that unknown guy who talks and writes beautifully and has instead of his face in the photo, one of an unknown model in New Zealand or a digital model. Think about it. Just look at how some people guide you or better manipulate your life, putting you on dangerous, paranoid paths. Through video games, digital people have been made for years now. Super-people who can achieve anything, as opposed to the common man who does not have their strengths. Take for example the meta human creator application and you will understand how easy it has become to be represented by another profile, a non-existent artificial "human" instead of you, or an avatar which accidentally works both on facebook. Oh, let me not forget that: the exchange of personal data, based on the latest technological advances that allow mobile cameras to see through the "keyhole", as well as incidents concerning revenge porn, can create issues to you and your relatives...
In conclusion, after everything I have record here and regardless of whether you agree or disagree, for God's shake, do your own research. Read books that you have never opened, while in your library. If you still do not have books, surf the internet and find material. Most are available in pdf. Do not find excuses, just try to make your own research, open your eyes. What is coming to find you, will surely find you. It is programmed and designed with absolute precision, thanks to advanced technology and based on human needs and the psychology of coercion. It is not easy to oppose it. It's easier to deal with though, when you know how it works and you are a little suspicious. There is a great difficulty, of course. While the "program" of humanism is running, you and I remain in everyday life, consuming ourselves in our "unbearable lightness of being". Is it really the time to get out of lethargy and save anything from our human condition?
