Abstract:
Sex in the Future: I suspect that sex in the future could well be radically different from what most people might expect. I doubt that the argument, that sex has changed relatively little in the past several thousand years, will survive the next hundred years of Dialectical Reason. Beastiality, Incest, and Pedaphilia. Outrageousness becomes the norm, and thus impossible. Loss of the need for human contact and physical action.
Abstract: Names of the Future:
Your name is the name of your master, the name of your enslavement to the past. Name your children names that emancipate rather than enslave. Make them citizens of the future, masters of adaptive change and constant evolution. Expand your mind and change your name as you change. Change your name to fit and remind you of who you are struggling to become.
Essay: Sex in the Future
I suspect that sex in the future could well be radically different from what most people might expect. I doubt that the argument, that sexual relations have changed little in the past several thousand years, will survive the next hundred years of Dialectical Reason1.
The near future will perhaps be a time of embracing all that was feared and negated. Observe film, fashion, music videos, dance clubs, the world is preparing for a bisexual future. But how prepared will we be for the coming of common Beastiality, Incest, and Pedaphilia? Today, we might look at these things as the horrors of a dystopia, but to the experienced, matured, evolved society of the next millennium this might be mundane affection rather than Criminal Sexuality2.
As the near future had the appearance of outrageousness, the distant future might have the appearance of repression as outrageousness becomes mundane and loses its ability to shock, its ability to be distinguished from that which is not outrageous. The need to be outrageous becomes obsolete, as outrageousness has become not outrageous. So the outrageous is no longer seen as outrageous, and the values which distinguish one action or from another, and distinguish from inaction become obsolete, and Outrageousness becomes the Norm3.
The distant future will perhaps be a time of evolving beyond need, beyond sexuality. Education comes to focus on building saner individuals rather than building better workers with greater earning potential. Industry strives to build a better world in which to live, and better people in which to inhabit it, rather than striving to take advantage of neurotics indoctrinated with a misery-inducing work ethic and self-destructive spending habits. Individuals become able to fulfill their lives in the real and virtual world, and Lose the Need for Physical Action and Human Contact4.
Names of the Future
In time, there will be no need of names. In time, all of our minds will be linked and we will live as one being. In time, our enviroment will be linked to us and regulated by the computer which we are linked to and by. There will exist a continuous interface between the environment and the mind. We and the world around us will think as one mind and act as one being. In time, there will be no need of names.
Your name is the name of your master, the name of your enslavement to the past. Name your children names which emancipate rather than enslave. Make them citizen of the future, masters of adaptive change and constant evolution. Expand your mind and change your name as you change. Change your name to fit and remind you of who you are struggling to become.
In the Age of Ultraquisme, our children will be free to choose their own names and change them as they desire. They will make their own names, and their names will mean Love and Life, Courage and Knowledge, Infinity and Possibility.
In the Age of Neutraquisme, our children's children will have no need of names. They will have rejected the Binary of Self vs. Other. They will have been taught how to be One with the World. They will understand the continuous system which is all of space and all of time. They will have no need for such simple categories.
