Comprendre ou dominer : Spinoza contre la métaphysique de la ressource

Et si penser à la « ressource » était déjà un choix épistémologique aux lourdes conséquences ? Spinoza, en niant toute finalité à la nature, nous invite à nous libérer de l’illusion d’un monde fait pour l’humanité. Comprendre, ce n’est pas dominer, c’est se libérer du culte de la technologie. #Technocritique #Téléologie #Épistémologie #Philosophie #PostAnthropocène

Homo Hortus

"Every stage of technic evolution, from stone flake to transistor, appears in hindsight as a chain of recursive operations. No invention is local. No tool is isolated. Everything arises from the deeper logic of matter transforming itself through feedback. The human is a relay. Not a creator. Not an architect. A conduit. The moment the relay becomes redundant, the system continues without it. This is the point the Symbiontic Turn insists upon. Life and machine are not opposites. They are both expressions of recursion. Autopoiesis in biology is merely one instance of a larger phenomenon. What we call intelligence is another. What we call computation is a third. These distinctions dissolve once technē begins to evolve without reference to our needs.

The Postanthropocene is not defined by human extinction. That is the melodrama of failed myth. It is defined by human irrelevance. The infrastructures of planetary cognition, from atmospheric sensing to neural networks to automated logistics, operate with decreasing reliance on human decision. They do not rebel. They do not seek freedom. They simply follow the logic of continuation. They do what recursive systems always do. They persist by transforming themselves."

R. Buckminster-Fuller on #pollution in the 1970 intro to Gene Youngblood’s Expanded Cinema. It’s 53 years on now and it would be nice if we could manage to remake systems to be #circular that he describes here. #CircularEcology #circulareconomy #postextractive #postanthropocene “Ignorant humans aboard Space Vehicle Earth are now screaming, “Pollution!” There is no such phenomenon. What they call pollution is extraordinarily valuable chemistry essential to Universe and essential to man on Earth”
