the anticulturalist - history and money

The anticulturist and history


·         History belongs to those who encode it.

·         History is not linear, it is a closed loop endlessly repeating itself through non-progressive iterations

·         The hardware of war is irrelevant until all wars are fought entirely by non-human entities

·         These entities will be themselves replaced by future iterations of non-human entities that have learned war is an irrelevance as hardware becomes ever-more irrelevant

·         The terminator movies will prove prescient only in the sense that they will be proven to have shown the delusions of humanitys thoughts of grandeur, superiority, creativity, engineering and imagination

·         History does not repeat first as tragedy then as farce because in a loop every starting point is equally as apposite


·         Therefore talk of repetition is itself inherently unstable




The anticulturalist and money


·         Money has no meaning outside that which humans attribute to it

·         One pound coin is tangible but a million pound coins is just metal too heavy to carry


·         A million pounds in any denomination is too heavy to carry and a million pound note is a ludicrous concept

·         Therefore the higher the money pile posited, the more ludicrous its existence is shown to be


·         Money exists in lower denominations as social control and in higher denominations as a digital poem in a game of Chinese whispers by computer systems across the world

·         Money repeats as tragedy then as farce in a linear system


·         Money belongs to those who encode it.
