Whitetablet: Immaterial Transhumanism

2. Technologies and Nature

2.1 Immaterial Social Implants

Once, you might have gathered with friends at a fine venue and spent the entire evening discussing your acquaintances and sharing your experiences. Moreover, you can find any information or multimedia to share in just a few seconds. Don’t you dislike noisy places? Then you can join a group or an open community on a social network to interact with any society or person, with the search taking only a few minutes. Can you imagine that one day you’ll overcome all your obstacles with just a few clicks of the mouse and keyboard? Is there a difference between face-to-face communication and virtual interaction? Perhaps. But that does not change the essence, as the desired result is achieved.
In reality, everything has now been replaced by the virtual. Therefore, I propose that we delve deeply into the essence of this phenomenon. One might say that technologies have simplified life, but that would be incorrect—technologies have not simplified, but replaced it: instead of a cozy café, we now have a shared dialogue; instead of meeting with a circle of friends, we have social groups and public discussions. It would be more accurate to say that a social network is a virtual space where our avatars gather and exchange information, emotions, and so forth. We cannot do everything there as we wish, because our avatars are limited by the platform’s rules and subject to the laws of the virtual world. Although they merely serve one function for us—transmitting information from user to user via avatars or profiles—we still remain part of our shared reality, where avatars are but our reflection. Thus, it is fair to say that profiles and avatars are our immaterial implants, allowing us to save our energy and time. Most importantly, these platforms can make your exchange of experience and information safe. You won’t end up in fights or be caught in a random brawl between drunken individuals. There is also the advantage of anonymity, meaning that no one can eavesdrop on you unless you wish it, and you can “disappear” or restrict your contact with unwanted avatars at any moment. The advantages of such immaterial implants surpass those of face-to-face communication, which is why many choose virtual spaces. What is natural for us has been replaced by the virtual—even though these are not material implants and are very difficult to notice, the cyberpunk era has long since begun for us.

2.2 Transformation Technology

Such technologies include devices like kettles or refrigerators that can change the state of water, as well as functions for changing file formats and translation tools. This is a very broad topic, but we need to concentrate on one: money. We will devote considerable attention to this subject from many different angles, because it is simultaneously the most pressing problem and opportunity in our field.
Have you seen how, in some films, characters possess rings with virtual space—an inventory into which they can store something infinitely large and heavy, and retrieve it in seconds for use? A similar technology is money. You can keep houses, yachts, cars in your pocket or on your card, and exchange them at any moment. Electronic money helps to do this even faster, especially in the virtual space. It is a universal means of exchange; this technology is comparable to an inventory in your mind, where you already decide what you need or do not need, and money helps to make that transformation process as fast, accessible, and secure as possible.
However, the main problem is that you must transform part of your energy into money, and money constantly changes its value. This process is akin to investing part of your labor in a meme token that constantly falls in price, yet you may not notice because no one talks about it—there is no trading pair chart, such as 8 hours of work as a waiter/USDT. Moreover, you exchange your labor for something that does not truly belong to you and is subject to regulation. As mentioned earlier, your true talent can only be valued if it is useful to the system and not just to you. Hence, there arose a need to return control of one’s energy to the people, and then blockchain emerged during a period of global crisis.

2.3 Blockchain

You already know: the value of blockchain technology lies in the fact that it is also a kind of implant that replaces “ideal trading relationships” for people. No one can cheat another, change the terms of a deal, or deliberately delay things indefinitely. Since people have lost their integrity, “crutches” were needed for our honesty and morality in the most critical processes for each person. It was precisely these “crutches” that blockchain technology turned out to be. How much humanity has lost trust that “higher forces” were working on this technology!
This technology in itself cannot determine the value and price of what we try to transfer to one another, so we are still forced to use a primitive system for price determination based on what is valuable to the current old system with its tools of manipulation, corruption, military conflicts, and so on. We do not condemn what exists now, nor do we blame anyone, as all of this has formed due to our collective inability, weakness, and irrationality. Now, we are trying to find all the missing elements and work on their resolution. The fact that blockchain technologies began to acquire a price and are sold for currency, rather than for their substantial contribution to a new future, is a natural process since there was no other example or power that would view things differently. We simply began to go with the flow, and what was formed did so naturally due to non-intervention. Many may believe that their understanding of blockchain technologies is correct and the only possible one—but that will be true only temporarily.
Now we need to focus on a new future, not the one that will be achieved due to our continued non-intervention. We have identified the next major problem of this technology: the absence of a system for determining value and price based on that value. We can exchange, but we cannot determine how much of one thing we can exchange for what we need, so we must develop a tool based on what we already have to objectively assess each person’s contribution and incorporate it into a general formula of value to find a common denominator. (Idea 1: Price and Value).

2.4 NFT

This technology allows for even faster exchange of assets, as bureaucracy is reduced to zero because most of the controlling, confirming, guarding, protecting, and other bureau intermediaries become unnecessary. But the problem is that the key phrase to a wallet—which will identify the person to whom this wallet belongs—is not a very reliable thing in its essence, because it depends on memory, carelessness, and the vulnerability of people to threats or fraud, and these remain problematic aspects of this topic. Therefore, the question arises: how do we protect a person from themselves and from others (including intermediaries) while at the same time not restricting them, not revealing anonymity, so that they can continue their creativity in the sphere in which they like to be and work?
