As the saying goes, life is what happens while we are making plans. Similarly, one good outcome of all the manifests is that they outline what will not happen.
There are many reasons why it is so. The general idea is that people underestimate not just the complexity of the world, but underestimate how much they underestimate. The closer one gets to approximating these estimations the less one engages in making manifests like these.
In the literal sense the 20th century was the darkest of the Dark Ages humanity has faced, and will face. Technologies like mass media, TV, and then the Internet and the social networks on one side, and reductionist world view inspired by science on the other side, led humans into forgetting who they are, and instead believing they are mechanistic automatons driven by the biological drivers, monkey OS basically.
Never before were there technologies to make this happen. Also, this approach does not scale indeed, so this mess can’t continue for long. A new version of human software needs to emerge, and is emerging very actively, if you know where to look for it.
That’s what Nietzsche was trying to say, but even he did not understand the meaning of it fully. He thought there will be Übermenschen with all the new software, but they will be continuing playing monkey games. No, new software plays new games.
The problem with all these manifests is that they are also playing these old monkey games, and induct off them, leading to all kinds of strange constructs.
The nature of reality is much much more deep and advanced than the current scientific view. The nature of forces driving it are much much more deep and advanced, and their nature is unexpected to the greatest possible extent. Without understanding those factors all the projections are meaningless, that is, missing any meaning.
What does have meaning is humans uninstalling the old monkey software. This is the way, the truth and the foundation for the life as it will be. Everyone needs to fix themselves. Everything else follows from this.
So the actual question is how does one do this fixing, not how to fix “the world” without fixing what activity needs fixing.
For new to take place the old must be broken into pieces and removed. And what is a more elegant way of doing this than the old destroying itself because of its own bugs?
Empires and societies are bubbles on the surface of the old. The whole 100,000 years of human civilization is being upgraded like never before, on this scale anyway.
A technological manifest of any kind is a huge scale mismatch with the actual thing happening.
