This sub is for:
1: Mocking undercritical technophilia, such as the reskinned eugenics called transhumanism, pie in the sky fusion or geoengineering, or nanotech euphoria.
2:
Dank memes, writings, vids, .GIFs and etc. about the above.
3:
Serious talk about how technophilia deranges everything from policy to the writing of good SF.
4:
Sardonic commentary/snark at the expense of technophiles as a group.
Rules
1: if you’re gonna come here to try and proselytize your particular flavor of technophilia when it’s ox gets gored, don’t bother. If you’re gonna disagree about the subject suitability for the sub, don’t be obviously a true believer.
2: Don’t touch the poo, unless you’re already a member of the shat-upon sub. Use your NP links. Don’t mock individuals ad hominem, unless they’re walking avatars of the subject matter, like Yud, or Dvorsky or Bostrom or Posthuman Studios. No flaming brigades.
3: NSFW and NSLF content must be marked as such, otherwise you will eat a ban.
4: We are technoskeptics, not Anarcho-primitivists. Just because the technophiles are so bad that they make you look good in comparison doesn’t mean you ain’t shite.
5: We are skeptics about transhumanism and other technophilia, not a transphobic hate subreddit. You want that shit, GB2 gendercrit or whatever dumbshite name you like.
6: Expanding on the above, bigotry of any kind – gender, race, class, orientation – will be punished severely.
7:
We are a left – from liberal to actual socialists, anarchists and other reds – sub. We don’t want tories or fash or DarkNeoWhateverists coming in to post decadence rants. However, just because we’re left, doesn’t mean ‘leftist’ technophiles will escape our amusement.
8:
Don’t make us come over there.
