  • Is Elon Musk an Anarchist? More Like a Libertarian Lenin
    Is Elon Musk an Anarchist? More like a Libertarian Lenin William Gillis June 18th, 2018 Elon Musk is trolling on twitter. A celebrity billionaire wasting his time making inane provo- cations would hardly be worthy of note but in the process Musk has declared that his politics are in line with Iain Banks’ anarcho-transhumanist utopia and that he aspires to see a world of direct democracy. There’s few spectacles like a billionaire in a labor dispute essentially fronting asa proponent of fully automated luxury communism. Yet when a number of his statements wander close to left wing market anarchist takes it may be worth responding. In particular I want to focus on the line, “Socialism vs capitalism is not even the right question. What really matters is avoiding monopolies that restrict people’s freedom.” There’s a lot to pick apart here, and it’s not remotely clear how much historical context Musk is aware of. Free market libertarians like Bastiat sat on the left of the French assembly and many advocates of free markets that modern Libertarians see as forefathers like Lysander Spooner and Benjamin Tucker considered themselves and were seen as socialists. There is a long and storied history of those who would problematize the terms “socialist” or “libertarian” and “capitalism” or “markets”, putting forth myriad conflicting definitions and frameworks, each in hopes ofillu- minating something lost in partisan tribalism. But Musk is a billionaire and in any coherent libertarian analysis a plutocrat whose success is in no small part dependent upon his collaboration with the state.

  • Matt Mackenzie DRAFT 12/06 Exploitation: a Dialectical Anarchist
    Matt MacKenzie DRAFT 12/06 Exploitation: A Dialectical Anarchist Perspective In his 1985 paper, “Should Marxists Be Interested in Exploitation?,” John Roemer1 suggests that contemporary Marxists should be less interested in exploitation than has been the case historically. Taking my cue from Roemer, in this paper I shall ask: should libertarians be interested in exploitation? It seems to me that, as a matter of fact, many contemporary libertarians are either relatively uninterested in or suspicious of the concept of exploitation—though the same is not true of 19th and early 20th century libertarians. Of course, it will readily be admitted that the state exploits its citizens, but this will be understood primarily in terms of the apparently more basic concepts of coercion, oppression, and theft. Thus, it might be said, the claim of exploitation adds nothing substantive to the libertarian critique of the state. In addition, it could be argued, there are reasons to be suspicious of claims of exploitation. For, in broader public discourse, the term too often seems to be a stand-in for mere disapproval. And when the term is given more definite content, it often involves assumptions about politics and economics that are unacceptable from a libertarian point of view. Despite these considerations, I will answer the question in the affirmative—libertarians should be interested in exploitation. Furthermore, I will argue that an appropriately comprehensive libertarianism should recognize, 1) that there are both coercive and non-coercive forms of exploitation, 2) that state capitalist societies are pervasively exploitative, and 3) that exploitation deserves an appropriately, though not exclusively, political response.

WORD COUNT: 7473 CONSPIRACY BELIEF AND TRANSHUMANISM 2 Abstract Conspiracy theories regularly refer to the allegedly transhumanist agenda of the elites. We hypothesized that believers in conspiracy theories would hold more unfavorable attitudes toward the transhumanist movement. We examined the association between belief in conspiracy theories and attitudes toward transhumanism in two pre-registered studies (based on two French samples, total N after exclusion = 550). We found no evidence of a negative relation between belief in conspiracy theories and attitudes toward transhumanism. This null result was further corroborated by Bayesian analyses, equivalence test, and an internal mini meta-analysis. This work plays a precursor role in understanding the attitudes toward an international cultural and intellectual movement that continues to grow in popularity and influence.

  • Posthumanism, Transhumanism, and the New Materialisms
    THL-9200 / PHI-8710 Posthumanism, Transhumanism, and the New Materialisms Professors: Ilia Delio, OSF, Ph.D. (Theology) Georg Theiner, Ph.D. (Philosophy) Email: [email protected] [email protected] Phone: 202-213-5810 (610) 519-3286 Office Hours: W 5:00 – 6:00 p.m. via Zoom W 11:00 – 12:00 p.m. via Zoom (or by appointment) (or by appointment) DESCRIPTION “Posthuman” has become an umbrella term to refer to a variety of different movements and schools of thought, including philosophical, cultural, and critical posthumanism; transhumanism (in its variations of extropianism, liberal and democratic transhumanism, among others); the feminist approach of new materialisms; and the heterogeneous landscape of antihumanism, metahumanism, metahumanities, and posthumanities. The struggle over the meaning of “posthuman” can be seen as a way of coping with an urgency for the integral redefinition of the notion of the human, following the onto-epistemological as well as scientific and bio-technological developments of the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. Philosophers have taken note of these developments, but often invoke the label “posthuman” in a generic and all-inclusive way, to indicate any of these different perspectives, thereby creating methodological and theoretical confusion between experts and nonexperts alike. In particular, an important ambiguity persists between posthumanism and transhumanism, a philosophical and cultural movement that began to gain popularity in the late 1990s with its distinct focus on human enhancement as a way of promoting human flourishing. Specifically, transhumanists advocate the use of applied science and technology to extend our current physical and psychological capacities, including our health span, with the goal of overcoming biological barriers of aging, sickness, disease and death.

CC BY 2.0) kingdom, and does not understand it, then the wicked one comes and snatches away what was sown in his heart” (St. Matthew 13:19). No nation has been as uniquely marinated in the Scriptures as the U.S., yet our peril is represented by two crisscrossing charts. Millennials are four times more likely to disdain religion than members of the Greatest Generation, and nine times more likely to view Communism favorably. This issue of Religion & Liberty focuses on the interrelationship between the two words in our title, especially when both are threatened by totalitarianism. Our cover story recounts how socialist utopianism lures believers from true religion to its own secular faith. “Socialism is precisely the religion that must overwhelm COVER STORY Christianity,” wrote Antonio Gramsci, as How socialism causes atheism Roger Kiska reminds us. 11 Mihail Neamtu recounts Marxist Rev.

  • Transhumanist Politics, Education, and Design
    Confero | Vol. 4 | no. 2 | 2016 | pp. 5-9 | doi: 10.3384/confero.2001-4562.161219 Editorial: Transhumanist Politics, Education, and Design Jörgen Skågeby, Mattias Arvola, and Lina Rahm n the imminent future, technological revolutions are likely to change societies, bodies and minds in more far-reaching ways than ever before in history. Perhaps, this historically recurring statement has always rung true, but the growing interest in the I concept, preconditions, and implications of transhumanism also points to a potential radically altered human condition. Transhumanism can generally be described as a philosophy, a cultural movement and a growing field of study concerned with the future of humankind. More specifically, transhumanism is the belief in morphological freedom and the aspiration to enhance human abilities and attributes, and thereby transcend human biological and cognitive limits. As transhumanist technologies are coming closer to a point of realization (as opposed to existing mainly as imaginaries) the humanities and social sciences are also beginning to seriously ponder the implications of transhumanism, posthumanism and the tensions that arise in such, partly, overlapping fields. For this special issue we invited scholars to consider transhumanist politics, transhumanist education, and transhumanist design from a range of perspectives and with various focal points. Political issues of transhumanism is today visible not only in discussions in and about the World Transhumanist Association and the US Transhumanist Party, but also in more general social, ethical, and 5 Jörgen Skågeby, Mattias Arvola, and Lina Rahm moral debates around emerging technologies. Education continues to be an interesting aspect of a potential transhumanist future. Issues of access, upgrading, learning, and the very meaning of education in a world where new kinds of skillsets can be acquired through new (and contingent) means, come into question.

  • Singularity! Communism! Apocalypse!
    Last Singularity! Communism! Apocalypse! Cadell Last, Global Brain Institute (GBI) Singularity! Communism! Apocalypse!: An Exploration. ! ABSTRACT: This article is first developed by exploring contemporary so- ciotechnological Singularity theories (most notably the utopian notions of computer scientist Ray Kurzweil and cyberneticist Francis Heylighen). Secondly, this article is de- veloped by exploring historical theories of collective human development inspired by German Idealism (most notably the utopian notions of Georg Hegel and Karl Marx). In relation to these idealistic and utopian notional structures, this article then presents an overview of emerging common problems and tensions related to 21st century geopoli- tics and socioeconomics. This section is presented with the perspective that humanity is approaching a systemically immanent zero-level (apocalypse!) that can only be avoid- ed via the mediation of a fundamental metasystem transition towards a new commons global order structured within distributed egalitarian networks. The evental becoming- space between possible systemic collapse and general idealistic attractor state is what I refer to as the “Commons Gap”: a space which may be navigable with a materialist dia- lectic that affirms humanist universality in diversity. Finally, I conclude with a compara- tive reflection on theories of eschatological capitalism (end times capitalism) — Kurzweilian vs. Marxist — in relation to the increasing openness and ambiguity of the human situation vis-a-vis global capitalism and sociotechnological evolution.
