All Watched Over By Machines Of Loving Grace By Richard Brautigan I like to think (and the sooner the better!) of a cybernetic meadow where mammals and computers live together in mutually programming harmony like pure water touching clear sky. I like to think (right now, please!) of a cybernetic forest filled with pines and electronics where deer stroll peacefully past computers as if they were flowers with spinning blossoms. I like to think (it has to be!) of a cybernetic ecology where we are free of our labors and joined back to nature, returned to our mammal brothers and sisters, and all watched over by machines of loving grace.
The best Primitive Transhumanist praxis is bioengineering humans to be so perfectly adapted to any natural setting that there is no need for technology. Technological progression would accelerate so drastically that it ends up making itself redundant. I am now Accelerationist Neo Transhuman Anarcho Primitivist.
Or we continue technological progression until society collapses. Old world Technology becomes dark magic, because no one knows how it works, but remember it destroyed the world
I wish I wasn't so late for this video. I started thinking of the possibility something like this could happen, where humans get so skilled in the "brute" medicinal field as opposed to engineering that they generationally learn how to properly modify biological components without the use of advanced technology. Million years of knowledge passed on from master to apprentice on how to dexterously modify and mend musculature to a participant in the far futures specifications.
techprim could be a technologically advanced society where everyone's a cyborg, but the thing that makes it anprim is how the society funtions. there's no laws and its hunting gathering but in a cityscape with bionic arms.
I like the idea of robots travelling to distant worlds to live a hunter-gatherer lifestyle with predator like efficiency. Wait, are the Predator aliens doing this?
Imagine you're taking a nice, calm hike through a peaceful forest at night, and then you spot some guy wearing tinfoil on his arms flipping around and kicking trees.
@@echo5327 No, planets are populated with Replicants specifically for the imperialists to invade/enslave. Thus no real humans are harmed. ... Don't think about the moral implications of that.
Terence Mckenna described an Primitivist/Transhumanist society at one point, IIRC it was something about how tech would evolve to the point of being invisible (nanites and augmented reality contact lenses or optic nerve mods which give feedback about the environment) and from an outside perspective they would just be a tribe of simple humans gathering food and living comunally off the land
Unironic transhumanist here. I’m sure that there are ways to mix the two together but in an ideal transhumanist society technology would allow us to completely ascend humanity and the struggles that come with it which would effectively eliminate all problems anprims have with modern society so basically if a utopian transhumanist society was achieved the anprim ideology wouldn’t exist since it’s a reaction to modern times not necessarily only technology.
I haven't played the game but Horizon Zero Dawn looks a bit like primitive transhumanism. Some planets in Warhammer 40k lore could fit under that label as well. Imagine running through abandoned factories, chasing your cybernetic prey to harvest their sweet synth-goo for your tribe, your hold your amulet close and pray to the data-souls of your ancestors that were uploaded into the city's mainframe, while you sprint as fast as you can with your cyborg legs that the tech-shaman attached to you through an elaborate ritual and lots of nano-paste. You live in a world built by generations before you which you do no longer understand, but your people have learned to adapt to.
I mean, can't we have technology helping with stuff but still be a hunter-gatherer society on the question of how to get the raw materials? just like, there is a whole machine city but most nature is preserved, no farms exist, and people still die in mines but hey, that's the price to pay to eradicate the disastrous consequences of the industrial revolution
I'd like to watch this video, but the title sounds vaguely technical, and as an an-prim I'm scared of any technical political theory, so I'll just drop a like to maintain our absolutely real friendship and then go watch a gaming video instead.
Taking the lore into account, Mega Man Legends is pretty close to this tbh. If the carbons didn't coordinate themselves into living within towns, it would basically be similar
The idea that Jreg puts actual thought and effort into these videos even when I don't really comprehend or understand anything he's saying is the greatest mystery of all

Transhumanist Primitivism is basically a game of Ark Survival Evolved with an idle game spin("rebirth" Every so often.) Making the game literally unbeatable yet satisifyingly taking you toward thinking you're making progress.
All hail the mighty Tsukasa! Death to the traitorous and scheming bugman Gen! Death to Senkuu, a force of evil who seeks the eradication of nature, revival of the corrupt boomers and bureaucrats and the reestablishment of neoliberal capitalism. By a glorious miracle or perhaps the work of the Æsir, nature has reclaimed and we have been given back life. We must stop the scourge of modernity. This opportunity granted to use by Óðinn shall not be in vain. All hail the mighty Tsukasa!
There's a short story I read once titled 'Harrison Bergeron', which describes a dystopian future where the government has supplanted above average individuals by forcing limiters onto everyone, so that everyone is "equal" to the lowest common denominators. Its usually used as a bedtime story for Libertarian kids, but I think that concept of 'using technology to purposefully limit our potential' is the closest feasible way a society could actually achieve the notion of Primitive Transhumanism, presuming that technological progress is impossible to entirely reverse, and the only way to achieve a primitivist utopia would be through technology.
Well, to be fair. I think Jreg for real have something against technologies. Just like here he said that although we have goods we also have bureaucracy, crimes and depressions (although it’s more like social problems and not technological duh). And in other video he called “Robots” the transhumanist’s manifesto and that was the dank joke which he didn’t make about other ideologies. I can’t argue and can’t understand him. Lots of post irony layers make the whole situation only worse. Technologies and civilizations don’t stand against nature and primitivism. They’re the part of it, they’re the next step of an evolution. Just like the life comes from single cells to multicellular beings, we, the humans, are the first specie (and probably not the least on the planet Earth) who comes from upgrades of the body to upgrades of the tools which we use (and upgrades of the tools which help us to upgrade the body). The evolution is just keeps going in new forms and yes, it has lots of mistakes, but our nature evolution and bodies have lots of mistakes too. So what’s the problem? Primitive Transhumanism is the real thing if you think about it
I think the essential thing about primitivism is the small size of societies. We could gear technology for the self sufficiency of small groups, by using nanotech to farm artificial crops and 3D print them into a wide variety of foods. I personally long for the period between isolated city states and large empires where transportation is common, but each region retains its distinct culture and laws, while banishment serves in place of most punishments.
I remember reading his book "Food of the Gods" some years ago. I found it quite interesting and he probably made some good points, I just couldn't help feeling as though there was an undercurrent where he was blaming the drugs he didn't like for everything wrong with human behavior, while all the good aspects of human behavior and evolution was because of the drugs he did like. Oversimplification, sure, but I still think it's a valid criticism IIRC. Oh well, at least his Timewave Zero theory has since been proven entirely correct :-DDD
LMAO. well said. though I think we are already there. Expansion of perspective, with a engineered foundation, is easy. just realizing that keeping in scale with the reality of the systems involved matters. but the micro and macro, as below so above.
4:17 This idea heavily reminds me of the kykeon they would serve to attendees of the Eleusinian Mysteries in Ancient Greece. It’s believed that the drink, which may have contained wine, barley, and cheese, was infected by a psychoactive fungi that helped the religious believers “transcend” themselves and become personally involved in the storytelling when they would reenact the story of Demeter and Persephone. So Jreg’s idea is rather doable, if one could give the transhumanists of the tribe the right concoction and a good descriptive narrative to lose themselves in while everyone else goes to bed to prepare for the cyber-mammoth hunt in the morning. Fun!
Simple, we all live as primitive hunter gatherers living peaceful amazing lives, but we also have a vast interconnected system allowing all hunter gatherers world wide to share information and knowledge! Additionally, we use automation to produce medicine for us while we hunt that way the negatives of being a hunter gatherer are decreased!
technically we would make a fusion of both by making machines so tiny and complex that they start to self-evolve like organics would (and so, creating an entirely synthetic ecosystem that is as complex as the organic one, and so, ending up with cyborgs hunting metallic tigers in deep forest made out of plastic trees ) a horizon dawn kind of thing.
