I want to go over the genealogy of progress first
Q1. what does progress mean in the western context?
A1. The comfortability of yourself and others
As long as America (and her puppets; Europe, SK, Japan, et al) prioritize this mindset, it will end in a hallowing out
For how long can GDP and HDI go up before its meaningless? I argue it already is, for what can I do with my money if its created on the back of an artifical economy and a new slave system? (Given we supposedly fought tooth and a nail to "end" feudalism/slavery?) For what it is that HDI goes up if these westoids cant even differentiate between 2 sexes? Are they in 50 years due time going to become cultureless blank state grey-blobs?
Rousseau is right in that art and science corrupt rather than improve human life.
Q2. What should progress mean in an objective context?
A2. Transvaluation of existence
Idk if you have noticed but whenever we get close to this golden zone it is usually reverted by A1, Eugenics came and was reversed, Guns came and is trying to be reversed, Industrial revolution came and was reversed(offshoring, denuclearization) , and now with the advent of the internet, that will surely be reversed and neutered (See ID laws). You even see this with the humanities! To tangentially show some examples, Nietzsche, History , and Christianity have all been neutered into A1.
Q3. What does it mean to transvaluate existence?
A3. To live radically! (Me ne frego)
Thoughts?
