>Man becomes, as it were, the sex organs of the machine world, as the bee of the plant world, enabling it to fecundate and to evolve ever new forms. The machine world reciprocates man's love by expediting his wishes and desires, namely, in providing him with wealth.
>When the evolutionary process shifts from biology to software technology the body becomes the old hardware environment. The human body is now a probe, a laboratory for experiments.
>In the electric age, when our central nervous system is technologically extended to involve us in the whole of mankind and to incorporate the whole of mankind in us, we necessarily participate, in depth, in the consequences of our every action. It is no longer possible to adopt the aloof and dissociated role of the literate Westerner.

'socratean irony' = 'the sole thing i truely hold as knowledge is my knowing nothing.'=puts experience above intellect (nietzsche then goes beyond even that, etc... .)

That's too funny and apropos as fuck. I'm listening to that podcast right now. It's making me an Alex Jones fan.
Why make sense? Heroically insane conspiracy theorists are like rare and beautiful birds. And holy shit, he's only 43? Oh my god.
