Elon Musk has been recorded basically describing a future in which artificial intelligence replaces humanity, for him any form of consciousness existing is fine even if humanity itself disappears. The path to this “progress” is authoritarianism, using things like universal basic income to keep those who have lost jobs to robots happy. He dreams of replacing carbon based like with artificial silicone based intelligence.
The time to jump off the train men like Musk are guiding is right now, but the path isn’t simple and direct.
Creating parallel, alternative structures that engender material independency from the present ruling class is an essential. Using the organic cohesiveness that shared nationhood, as a spiritual and not a racial or political construct, is going to be vital to making these alternative structures viable and robust without becoming as authoritarian as those they are meant to help people escape from.
Musk’s stance here is essentially authoritarianism, including “universal basic income”, which is basically a system of abject dependency that can only end with you as a human being becoming a mere cost to the ruling class who don’t need your labor but use basic income to keep you from rioting or something. Population control and genocide are the logical extensions of this.
The vision we call “Upadaria” foresaw this world emergence of authoritarianism as a cooperation between monopoly corporations and political power holders, the ruling class. This vision also foresees the solution, which is the intentional creation of alternative structures that engender material independency from the systems used by the ruling class to control people and turn them into modern serfs.
The worldview of Western Civilization in its genesis and foundations may be solid and good, because it is largely a Judeo-Christian worldview rooted in ancient truth and open to great advancement through logic and science. But in order to preserve the essence of the core ideational framework of Western Civilization one must think of constructing the genesis structures of a new civilization. We cannot save the West. This and other extant moribund civilizations will collapse into a totalitarian morass and we cannot change this.
The only way to escape the starkly authoritarian vision men like Musk envision and embrace, because they stand to gain thereby, is to begin now building our own alternative structures that stand outside the influence and control of men like Elon Musk, a man who represents the zeitgeist of a dying civilization. But, we further propose, without the organic cohesiveness of shared nationhood, and an intentional shared nationhood at that, we will struggle to create truly decentralized structures that prevent the emergence of authoritarianism for generations to come.
Through the vision of Upadaria and its frameworks and blueprints we have the tools and ideas needed to promote and nurture the development of these alternative structures for human flourishing. Such a comprehensive and internally cohesive ideational framework coupled with a strong shared identity anyone can adopt is what is needed BEFORE alternative structures can be created.
For many, as they become acquainted with the vision of Upadaria, the choice will be between being reduced to a useless person on basic income, dominated by a ruling class who use AI and robots to produce fantastical wealth for them, and being free and self-sustaining in a way that nurtures your dignity, respects your rights, and engenders your flourishing.
