>>24539937>"Nature, we may say, has become a problem owing to the fact that man is conquering nature and there are no assignable limits to that conquest. As a consequence people have come to think of abolishing suffering and inequality. Yet suffering and inequality are the prerequisites of human greatness (aph. 239 and 257). Hitherto suffering and inequality have been taken for granted, as "given," as imposed on man."-Leo Strauss, Chapter 8 Note on the Plan of Nietzsche's Beyond Good and Evil in Studies of Platonic Political Philosophy, pg. 190
>"The purpose of science is reinterpreted: propter potentiam, for the relief of man's estate, for the conquest of nature, for the maximum control, the systematic control of the natural conditions of human life. Conquest of nature implies that nature is the enemy, a chaos to be reduced to order; everything good is due to man's labor rather than to nature's gift: nature supplies only the almost worthless materials. Accordingly the political society is in no way natural: the state is simply an artifact, due to convenants; man's perfection is not the natural end of man but an ideal freely formed by man."-Strauss, The Three Waves of Modernity
>“The world state presupposes such a development of technology that Aristotle could never have dreamed of. That technological development, in its turn, required that science be regarded as essentially in the service of the “conquest of nature” and that technology be emancipated from any moral and political supervision. Aristotle did not conceive of a world state because he was absolutely certain that science is essentially theoretical and that the liberation of technology from moral and political control would lead to disastrous consequences: the fusion of science and the arts [Technology] together with the unlimited or uncontrolled progress of technology has made universal and perpetual tyranny a serious possibility."-Strauss, in Natural Right and History, pgs. 22-23
>"The experience of the present generations has taught us to read the great political literature of the past with different eyes and with different expectations. The lesson may not be without value for our political orientation. We are now brought face to face with a tyranny which holds out the threat of becoming, thanks to the "conquest of nature" and particular human nature, what no earlier tyranny ever became: perpetual and universal."-Strauss, On Tyranny, pg. 27
The trans or post human inclination is nothing but a parasitic abomination, the bastard child of modernity and liberalism failure to truly meet and satisfy man's spiritual needs and its drive to completely destroy the natural world in a blind rage of technical advancement that will either result in the sterilization of the planet and/or the unleashment of an unstopping extraction-war machine on the cosmic stage.
