The Thinking Kid's counterCulture to the Consoomer Boy's MonoCulture

As I stated in my Superman series the image of modernity is changing to reflect the things from the media we consume, from the objects that we place on our work desks to the very tattoos on our very skin. Post 1960s AD, the image of the Geek/nerd/Trekkie, is one who is highlighted by his artifacts, his living room is always shown full with action figures, spaceship modules, and a obsession with a fictional universe than anything but real. In the late 20th century “nerd” culture, including the “trekkies” became in their minds the “thinking kid’s counterCulture”, being a “nerd” is to gravitate towards niche things. Unlike Stars Wars, being fun a Star Trek was always view as being “niche”, though Star Trek was known enough to be make fun of on SNL, it was always regularly view as that show for that “one group of people”, it wasn’t until the success of the movies and the popularity of E.N.T that Star Trek was perceive as “mainstream”.

Now Star Trek is just one of the countless I.P label franchises that pollute our culture, and like all mega Hambugerian corporate I.Ps it must be under H.R regulation to be “inclusive”, whatever “inclusive” actually impose to means. That so great about vague words, they could mean whatever the powers at be want them to be. With the ending of Disco and the cancellation of Lower Decks, and the declining state of Paramount itself there could be a possibility of another “Star Trek Dark Age” like what happen after the cancellation of Enterprise .

Back in the early 2010sAD, Nerd Culture was the rage, with the release of Marvel’s the Avengers, the year 2012AD was pronounce as the year when “Nerd Culture Become mainstream”. But with mainstreamization comes with what is refer as “low human capital”. As stated in the classic film Man In Black “A person is based, but people are cringe”. As “Nerd” stuff take took-over the Hot Topics, and began to inflect all those other mall stores, the more apparent its “Consumer” elements become. Being “Nerdy” may make you seem autistic, none-sexually-appealing, and wimpy, but to you and your social circle, you and your friends perceive themselves as “smart ones”. Jock may get all the praise and the sex in the present movement, but you and friends are destine to be the next Einstein or even the next Bill Gates. Once ago, people who consider themselves “nerds”, specially the ones who also consider themselves “Trekkies” have view their sub-culture as the “thinking kid’s counterculture”. Being accepted to the trekkie community was once like joining a mystery cult in pre-christen Rome or Greece. Dressing up as Spock on the weekends may make most of the kids at school to laugh at you, but being a number of such a niche sub-culture only proves that you have ascended as one of the “enlighten elite”. Being a “nerd” in “nerd circles” was consider being “one of the smart kids”. The fact that you know so many “obscure” facts about a old Sci Fi show only proves your intellect .Now “nerdy things” are increasing seen as “redditie”, fuko pops and living room walls full with worthless plastic junk. It didn’t help that the tpyical political opinions of these “redditie” “nerds” are more shallow than the plastic they hoard, with the same #tranedySocialPoliticalThing that is indistinguishable from a blue state located corporate H.R office.

At this movement of my life, I am not interested in the next “Star Trek Thing” or the next “Star war” or “Marvel Thing” or anything that could be label as “IP franchise related”. Folks like Tolkien, Robert E Howard, George Lucas, and even Gene Roddenberry (despite all the episodes he did actually write being cringe) were a class of cultural visionaries that if they still walk among us, aren’t to be found belonging to the fore mention “fandoms” of these major house I.Ps. Roddenberry script writing may was on the same level as H.R approved DEI statements, but putting beside his cringy naive boomer leftism, the man did able to bring about a vision that impacted the collective cultural mentalscape (though that may be in large part to the acting skills of Nimoy, and writers like Gene Coon and others than Roddenberry himself).

But do these hoarders of plastic even truly desire to in live in a Star Trek post capitalist future? In truth many of these self-name “Marxists”, “anti-capitalists” and “third worldist” seem to treat their “insert self ideological identifier” as another logo to buy from. The only reason the powers that be will let “The revolution be “televised”” is either they be naive or the “televised” “revolution” is a farce. If Andore is truly is “Marxist” it probably weren’t be associated with a corporate I.P by a institution that spent the past three decades buying everything that isn’t already own by Universal or Warner Bros. If these corporate IP associated products truly as “revolutionary” as their self identify “leftist” consumers would like you to believe then Gil Scott-Heron is wrong.

Maybe by branding their corporate produce junk as “revolutionary” they could mentally shrug off the obvious fact that are plastic hoarder, just as much if not more addicted to the consumerist lifestyle as the unenlightened mases that they look down upon. Maybe investing in a “revolution” that could never physically and could only exist in some vague “after now” they could take comfort in their dysfunctional excises. If in the long term “we are all dead” then it is much easier to believe in the coming revolution on a vague date. Paradise can be easily imagine if is only a vague number of tomorrows away, it is more easier to imagine a Utopia if you haven’t plan on living in it.

the Zoomer incarnation of leftism is often compare to the so called “Gnosticism” movements of the early centuries AD, for its worship of the self and a hatred of the material biological form despite petty of these leftists describing themselves as “goddess materialistic” . But in actuality members of this generation seem to resemble the actions of the fable Yaldabaoth, desiring to create a pseudo-reality that is a mere shadow of the “real” world. That probably why these self-process “leftist” despite their politics are attractive to these escapist corporate own I.P pseudo-Mundies such as that of Anime, Star Wars, or Star Trek, not to say that there isn’t people with “based” or “reactionary” fans of these properties just that it strange that so many of these “consumers” of these corporate IP are also the most “soy pill”. Then again, it is the “un-reality” of these pseudo-mundies that will attract these leftists. Only in a world of mere shadows that the Yaldabaoth could reign. Star Wars could take place in a “galaxy far away” and the future of Star Trek could only exist with technology that would break causality itself.

As stated pervious In the Einsteinian Model, going beyond the speed of light will break causality. This generation’s Leftism seem to be breaking causality in the same way as a gunman assassinating his own grandfather before his father was even conceive. Today Leftism denies the very causality of all sentient beings, our bodily biology, worshiping mutilation and abortion as virtues greater than the conception of life itself. Leftism have always require a youth-culture to power it, but today’s Leftism prevent the very next generation of youth from being born. It increasingly despises natalism and increasingly favors anti-natalism. If today’s Leftism succeeds, and Leftism requires a youth-culture as its foundation, what will end up is a leftism ends its own causality.

If Neuralink end up being successful, if someone ever will create a successful version of the “Metaverse”, if the promises or Computer-Brain-Interface coming out of Silicon Valley ever end up being true, it will be those consumerist “leftist” that be the first to be seduced by these artificial shadow-mundies. A generation of Yaldabaoths, with their own shadow-mundi to reign over, and shadow persons to play with. As stated by another, the the current generation’s leftist prefers the pseudo-Mundie over reality itself. The post-humanist leftist is in fact going the opposite extreme of the original Gnostic. While the early centuries AD Gnostic seeks a truer reality, the modern leftist is more concern with building a shadow-Mundi as a escape from the truths of actual reality.
