again, i'm hoping for more too, same as you anon. but what is there is enough to be Purest Cosmotech for now, without question. Fuck Yeah Space Taoism, and also Fuck Yeah Space Taoism.

>the communists always play this weird game, were the proletariat is the proletariat because of their systemic position, but they keep calling it proletariat once that system disappears, which makes no sense because their whole definition as proles came from their position in the system
ayup. and the same goes for The Joos. it's scapegoating and sphinxes to the bottom. it is Steady Bullshit for NPCs.

see pic rel. if *you* do not learn control, you will produce a Society that will. but such is the irony of the Wild Ride - nobody's fucking in charge, because we have created basically a Perpetual Motion Machine that is in some sense good, and in some sense mirrors the pattern of nature of itself, and yet in another sense there is this one wild card, that being, technocapital and accumulation and robotics. so it's kind of a complicated question.

>So wouldn't the responsible thing to do be to view such rampant sexuality as "degenerate" and regulate/restrict it?
maybe, except that *all* sexuality is in some sense transgressive, or degenerate, and it can't really be regulated or restricted either. of course, you can go Full Sharia if you like, but this is obviously stupid. conversely, going Full Pornography - what *we* do - results in a constant fear of sexual harassment amidst the most hyper-sexualized world since the Roman Empire. there has to be a middle way, but it certainly won't come about by Black Mirror scenarios. we will probably see those, sadly, but this is because human beings are on the whole fucking stupid with these things. it's moral metaphysics that are required, not more legislation. this is hardly news. but philosophically it's pretty rich soil.

>noble
nobility is good. i'm not interested in picking any fights with REI, he's interesting in his own way. he sees things how he sees them, i'm fine with this. i don't roll Aryan myself but there's room for fruitful collaboration in about 20m different directions as far as i can tell. Girard is my boy, i don't really want to budge from him. it's hard to find a flaw with Aeschylus either.

>How does one achieve restraint in our society?
in progress. first i think a whole lot of mysticism is a good scene. you're right, liberal democracy obviously won't cut it, the LibDems are basically on board the Wild Ride now, and The Spice Must Flow. in the end it fucked with Paul Atreides' mind and it will fuck with ours too. there are no easy political solutions, and the fact is, *there may not be any political solutions at all.* that is why we have to consider a very different perspective, which is counter-modernist to the core.

anyways. again, think of Reign of Fire. there is a part of you that is Quinn and a part of you that is Van Zan. both were required to kill that dragon.
