John Zerzan: Earth's Global Crisis 5/8

http://layla.miltsov.org/introduction-to-z

John Zerzan is one of the most interesting contemporary thinkers in the United States, at least. Like everything else in life, in order to fully appreciate Zerzan's contribution to epistemology or the philosophy of civilisation, first, one has to read his work and hear his conferences -- for, here, I only present my personal interpretation of his theory -- and second, consider the context through which his voice and energy resonate. His contribution becomes even more impressive in light of the processes of Western institutionalisation of Thought and commodification of Knowledge -- a totalitarian context that tolerates no challenge (philosophical or otherwise) that would threaten "the American way of life".

As a dropout from the undergraduate physics program at Caltech and someone who has seen first hand the forefront of US military research, I can tell you that the near-term possibilities of technology are terrifying. It's not just about depleting resources and wrecking the environment-- there is scary shit being pursued by science. Genetic engineering, mind control, artificial intelligence-- this stuff is dangerous and scientists often don't concern themselves with long term consequences.
