>>510225378What I find most irritating about men like Thiel is their desire to be liked and admired. Which I understand. Nobody who is oriented correctly wants to be hated and treated like a leper. And in a sense that human desire for recognition is a virtue. If I could speak to Thiel I'd tell him to not be too concerned with the opinions of your mass man, as Evola would put it. Those that "get" what you're trying to do, will. And its in this spirit that I won't be responding to detractors in this thread. You're not worth the effort and these words are NOT for you.
I've considered before the idea that; when we imagine a future humanity, a humanity capable of space flight and settled new worlds, a humanity which has eradicated disease and old age, a humanity to whom life and experience has become joyful play. We make certain assumptions about how that process develops. What the building blocks are. We assume the future that we want would be a universalist future. Where ALL of humanity has ascended, through technological, scientific, and philosophical "evolution".
I think this process is far more likely to follow the same pattern as previous leaps in human progress. Which is to say: It wasn't "Human" progress at all. Not humanity writ large, but the advancement of a specific human racial type. Pic related. To cut a long story short I don't see that the future of humanity is one in which all human types make it off this planet. We universalize our vision of the future; just as we universalize everything else. The flattening of human hierarchy makes it so we don't even considered the idea. So why does this related to Thiel? Because he seems stuck in this universalist mental frame in which its either All of humanity or Non. Despite the fact that the historical norm is that so called "human progress" is particularist and not universalist.
