The Posthuman Future

Humanity has a management problem

In this long post I will discuss some aspects of what could broadly be termed the posthuman condition. This is a way of describing tendencies in Western culture which are displacing values, traditions and settled ways of being with technologically infused ideas of progress.

This post will cover

• How individuals face severe penalties for slight transgressions

• How large scale organisations escape the consequences of disastrous mistakes

• The National Security State origins of Facebook

• Humanity as a management problem

• The Public Safety argument

• A machine model of humanity which excludes the best of us

• The Posthuman Future what that means

• The role of the World Economic Forum

• The failures of technocratic management
