[p2p-research] Fwd: understanding generational shifts and eras

[Michel Bauwens]

Dear friends,

Is there anyone amongst you that knows the generational theories, such as
the one summarized here: http://sifter.org/~simon/journal/20081110.html

I think it is important to introduce these ideas in the p2p debate and so am
looking for a volunteer to write up a small intro, or at least provide a set
of references that can be quoted ...

Michel

Brandyn, Why do I feel like this blogger's got your number? ('cybernetic
epistemology' was/is your fantastical idealization, right?...technically an
oxymoron to those of us sufficiently schooled and, er, practiced in the
humanities; incorrigibly...)

"And so to speak more specifically of the Robot Cultists of transhumanism,
singularitarianism, and the rest of the corporate-militarist Futurological
Congress: Techno-immortalists, anti-political nanosanta cornucopiasts,
cybernetic
totalists ready to divest their informational 'souls' of their meat
encumbrances, and all those who pine or flutter over the coming of the Robot
God are all of them, every one, awash in the most palpable and laughable
crackpottery imaginable." [IE, psycho-pathology; cognitively dissociated]

Julian, this is priming my next response to our running thread! (namely, on
the psychographically extant ego-pathological state of the transhumanist
mind run amuck - as a categorical revelation: how to diagnose, identify &
forcibly eliminate this cultural disease from society, individual by
individual...naming names in the end...a veritable "which" hunt! :)
