The thesis of my thesis
I have a couple articles and presentations prepared on ‘non-biological’ entities and the threat they pose to biological entities such as animals and humans.
It boils down to the fact that corporations are mindless entities, like amoeba, yet they are granted the same rights and status as humans according to the constitution of the united states of america. the other disconnect that causes major harm is that non-biological entities do not have the same necessities as humans in order to survive and propagate.
It’s not that their agenda is to remake America. They don’t have an agenda like a person would have an agenda. Their purpose is to propagate and continue surviving just like biological entities. But they evolve according to different rules from regular evolution.
Non-biological entities do not need clean food, air or water to survive. What they *do* need to survive and propagate is money. Sometimes they need other resources such as human labor capital, land and water. They must re-purpose the land and air in order to produce waste. They must re-purpose the water in order to produce heat waste or chemical waste.
This is what causes the major disconnect and where our environments and needs start to overlap. If a biological entity has no need or desire for money, a non-biological entity will not survive. Our need for clean food, air and water limits the growth of a corporation. In America, a corporation’s sole purpose is to increase profits each quarter. Everything else is ancillary to this purpose.
As a result, although not sentient by any means, non-biological entities have influenced human psychological evolution by changing what we desire. We no longer value clean food, air and water above all else. Sometimes valuing these things are viewed with contempt and derision. If you’ve followed my point so far, you’ll be able to see where the rest of this is going.
I didn’t read the original post, but I wonder if he was discussing some of the same things, just from a different perspective.
I do, however, have a controversial point of view concerning what must happen with non-biological entities.
If we are to survive and propagate as a species beyond another ten-thousand years. If we want to exist beyond the natural physical limitations our planet and our galaxy has imposed upon us, we need to learn how to co-exist with non-biological entities and find a way that we can exist harmoniously. The reason I believe this is that *because* corporations were granted constitutional rights, America shot forward into the future faster than any natural evolution could afford.
I’m not saying this is the only event that sped along progress, but it is definitely a major contributor. Since Abraham Lincoln’s time (and the passing of the 14th amendment) corporations have allowed us to exponentially increase our knowledge, our awareness, our technology, etc.
So I propose that we live in a very exciting age and time. We are on the cusp of conquering and surpassing physical limitations of any kind. We just need to be more aware and proactive in guiding this process because if we allow a non-sentient, non-biological, non-conscious entity to control the fate of human evolution, it will lead to self-destruction not only of corporations but of the human species as well.
Addendum:
I’m going to share a somewhat controversial view and it is to be taken with a grain of salt:
A population of critical thinkers is not a pipe-dream if we no longer allow unfettered access to procreation to the idiots and the imbeciles ;) Before the modern age, idiocy was weeded out through the process of natural selection.
Now we live in an artificial environment where ‘he who is most offended’ or ‘he who has the least’ does, in fact, receive the most protection and the most rights at the expense of those who ‘have more’. Therefore, the illiterate breed more and are a protected class who support the rights and rise of non-biological entities whereas literates and critical thinkers are seen as a threat to both non-biological entities and the illiterate class (which is the most valuable human capital to a non-biological entity). Because they are seen as a threat, critical thinkers are often attacked either directly through physical confrontation or through psychological information warfare where they are inundated with information overload from media.
