Post-humanism.

 Post-humanism.

The modern contract provides power on the condition that you give up your belief in the grand cosmic plan that gives meaning to life.

​

It was humanism that provided an antidote to meaningless and lawless beings.

This new religion of humanism worships humanity and demands the role of natural law.

Where in the past grand cosmic plans gave meaning to human life, humanism reverses its role, allowing human experience to give meaning to the universe. According to humanism, humans must derive from their inner experiences not only the meaning of life, but also the meaning of the universe as a whole.

​

Create meaning for a meaningless world.

It is a commandment given to mankind by humanism. Therefore, the religious revolution, the core of modernity, did not lose faith in God, but gained faith in mankind.

Humanism has taught that humanity is the ultimate source of meaning and therefore free will is the supreme authority. Don't wait for some external entity to tell you what it is, just rely on your feelings and desires.

​

​

The most interesting discussion in the humanist ethic is the situation in which human emotions collide.

What happens when one person feels the same behaviour good and another feels bad?

How do you decide which of the two emotions is more important?

​

Emotions provide meaning not only to the private life of mankind but also to social and political processes.

In most countries, democratic votes are used to ask the people their thoughts on the issues at hand.

Humans believe that voters know best and that political power comes from individual free choice. But how do voters know which choice they should make? In theory, it is assumed that voters refer to their inner feelings and act as those feelings lead them. However, doing so is not always easy. It is necessary to filter out different opinions.

​

​

Humanists today believe that human emotions are the only source of artistic creation and aesthetic value.

Contemporary artists listen to their own emotions rather than to God's instructions.

In ethics, the motto of humanism is 'If it feels good, do it'.

In politics, humanism teaches that 'the voters know best'.

In aesthetics, humanism says that 'beauty lies in the eye of the beholder.

Modern humanistic education teaches students to think for themselves.

Because the best source of meaning and authority is within yourself, it is important to know what you think about these issues.

​

As the source of meaning and authority moved from heaven to human emotions, the nature of the universe as a whole changed.

The outer universe, where the truth existed, became an empty space, and the inner world, which was an insignificant space where raw emotions were buried, became indescribably deep and rich. Everything was interpreted differently as an inner state of mind.

​

This is what Nietzsche wanted to say when he declared that God was dead. In the Middle Ages, there was no other place to find political, moral, or aesthetic authority but God. I myself could not distinguish between right and good and beautiful. Today, you can live as a complete atheist, yet be richly blended in your inner experience with political, moral, and aesthetic values.

If you believe in God, it is a personal choice. When your inner self tells you to believe in God, you believe.

Even when you say you believe in God, you are actually believing your inner voice.

​

The meeting of the scientific revolution and humanism created a new formula for knowledge.

"Knowledge = Experience X Sensitivity"

Experience and sensibility are in an endless loop, reinforcing each other. You cannot experience anything without sensitivity, and you cannot develop sensitivity without experiencing a variety of things.

​

Humanism sees life as a process of gradual inner change from ignorance to enlightenment through the means of experience.

The ultimate goal of humanistic life is the full expression of knowledge through a wide range of intellectual, emotional and physical experiences.

​

Humanism, which seemed like a single coherent worldview, spread and evolved, splitting into two opposing factions.

While all humanism sects regard human experience as the supreme source of authority and meaning, each sect interprets experience in different ways.

Liberal humanism, which insists that each human being is a unique individual with an independent inner voice and a series of non-renewable experiences, and that the individual's free will is much more important, socialist humanism that encompasses socialist and communist forces, It is an evolutionary humanism that foretells the advent of the superhuman by placing him as a famous believer.

​

​

Liberalism won the victory in the humanistic religious war.

The victorious liberal ideals now compel mankind to pursue immortality, happiness and divinity.

​

In the process of realizing this dream of humanism, it is argued that post-humanist technologies will pour out and that these technologies will shake the foundation of humanism. We no longer need gods to give meaning by limiting human power. Because the free will of our customers and voters gives us all the meaning we need.

​

But what happens the moment you realize that customers and voters don't really have free will, and have the technology to calculate, design, and see through human emotions?

What would happen if the human experience became a designable product that was no different from anything else in the supermarket?
