"Bausteine einer möglichen Zukunft 'Digitaler Geisteswissenschaften' Technikzukünfte, Hochschulwandel, Dritte Kultur" – mein Beitrag zum 2. Band des wunderbaren Kompendiums Computational Theology von Frederike van Oorschot und @chnunn, #OpenAccess bei @heiUP bald auch auf Englisch. Es war mir eine große Freude!

Neo-Absurdism extends classical absurdism into the realm of recursive punishment and self-improving suffering. It suggests that our punishments evolve, learn, and optimize themselves, that Sisyphus's boulder would eventually develop an algorithm to ensure maximum existential weight.

We don't just push boulders anymore. We build machines that build better boulders, then train ourselves to push them more efficiently, then optimize the training, then gamify the optimization. The absurdity recurses until even absurdity becomes absurd.

"We build the labyrinth that contains us, then wonder why we feel trapped."

Techno-Absurdism recognizes that we've created systems—algorithms, #AI automated processes—that operate beyond human comprehension while still serving human-defined goals. The #absurdity isn't just #existential it's #architectural.

We are the architects of our own incomprehension, building towers of Babel in code that speak languages we invented but can no longer understand.

We #optimize for #efficiency and discover we've automated away our own #agency. The machines don't #rebel—they simply execute our instructions more perfectly than we intended.

We’ve built systems that can simulate human behaviour with startling precision. They can mirror us.

But what they reflect isn’t the whole. It’s an approximation. An echo. Always from the outside.
