Research Network for Philosophy and Technology
Hong Kong
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 18 พ.ค. 2021
The Research Network for Philosophy and Technology was established in 2014 as a project to rethink the relation between philosophy and technology, and the future of this relation from global and historical perspectives. It is first of all an attempt to address the varieties of technological thought, in comparison with and also beyond the dominant Promethean discourses. It also wants to elaborate on and develop further the relevance between non-modern thoughts and modern technologies. These questions are often undermined and ignored in the established academic disciplines on technology and philosophy; this is also the reason for which this network hopes to bring together different points of views and new thinking, based on solid historical research, philosophical speculations and experiments.
Bernard Stiegler Memorial Lecture 2024 - Pieter Lemmens

Disillusioned Awakenings in Dark Times: Reading Bernard Stiegler after the Covid Event
Tuesday 6 August, 2024.
8 pm HKT ― 10 pm AEST ― 2 pm CEST
It has now been four years since Bernard Stiegler passed away, a few months into the so-called COVID-19 crisis, which in the meantime has changed the world - and a fortiori our view of the world - in an unprecedented manner. COVID-19, for those paying attention, has proven to be no less than a revelation of how things actually stand on this planet - indeed in the form of an immense disillusionment. It has unveiled nothing less than the systemically corrupt, tyrannical and malicious nature of the power structures behind our political, economic, cultural and medical institutions, including, above all, the media. Indeed, the scales have fallen from people’s eyes and a truth has manifested which can be characterized as that of a grand déconfiture (bankruptcy). The invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation and the escalation of the war between Israel and Palestine have only aggravated this gigantic démasqué (unmasking) and accelerated the disbanding and downfall of the so-called “civilized West.” This lecture by Pieter Lemmens will explore the intellectual, ethical, political and cultural disaster that has been unfolding before our eyes in the last four years from the pharmako-organological, noetico-libidinal perspective on technology of Stiegler, who like no other thinker understood the gravity of our planetary anthropic crisis. Stiegler might not have been prepared though, or so it will be suggested, for the darkness that is manifesting since his passing, a darkness however that might prove to be highly illuminating for those willing to see.
Pieter Lemmens teaches philosophy and ethics at the Institute for Science in Society (ISiS), at the Radboud University of Nijmegen, the Netherlands. He has published on themes in the philosophy of technology, philosophical anthropology and (post)phenomenology, and on the work of Martin Heidegger, Peter Sloterdijk, Bernard Stiegler and post-autonomist Marxism. Recent book publications are Cosmotechnics. For a Renewed Concept of Technology in the Anthropocene (2021, co-edited with Y. Hui) and The Technical Condition. The Entanglement of Technology, Culture, and Society (2022, co-edited with T. Swierstra, T. Sharon and P. Vermaas). Current interests are the planetarization of technology and the technosphere, the renewal of philosophy of technology in the age of the Anthropocene, conspiracy thinking and the philosophical aspects of psychedelics.

Can i suggest an new fact to substitute the covid subject in your thought experiment? try elon interference in us election and brazil politics , war , space, communication... the web of ... ;^) evil and nihilistic tendency's... a real conspiracy, very fantastic . I do think its interesting in many parts. this lecture. Stiegler would have lots to say on AI and climate colapse nowadays. Would like to meet you peter. Maybe i can contribute to your thinking.
yes i took another look at this lecture , and it was worth it ... many new points to reflect.
only the covid conspiracy makes this in parts disturbing
Rather than returning to oppositional binaries, is it not more than enough to study the sociopathic effects of exponentially systemic multipolar incentivized zero sum gaming (manifest since August 6th 1945...). A dualistic nostalgia for Grande Inquisitorial marches against "Evil" only masks its inherent structural and stultified "banality " ? Stiegler kept the necessary monist rigor and humility in my opinion. Yuk Hui furthers his work in Art and Cosmotechnics. Yasha Levine's book Surveillance Valley on the genealogy of cold war technosocial development goes a long way towards explaining the tools we carry in our pockets.... Also highly recommend Alenka Zupančič book on Disavowal. And beware... "Corruption of the best is the worst " Ivan Illich
So wearing masks in public, temporally bounded restrictions on movement, and vaccination programs, constitue the true face of evil, whereas the systematic live streamed ethnocide of a civilian population is merely an 'escalting conflict' between two parties?? The real mask is this weak minded conspiratorial 'logic' which sustains the illusion that there's some order or authority behind appearance, when in fact there's nothing beneath it.
To claim that Covid-19 was from beginning hardly more lethal than a regular flu virus was quite an irresponsible statement to make when you provide no sources and Covid-19 still having a higher mortality rate than the flu each season, at least in the US. This was by far one of the worst lectures so far. The stupidity here is to think that the very mild public health measures in most Western countries to limit the spread of the virus are somehow "excessive." If the author truly felt Covid-19 was over-hyped, then why the author ignores China or other countries that took much stronger measures to control the virus? Kacem's argument and this author's argument fall apart the moment you think outside of the West, particularly Europe. Also, it's interesting how the moment there's a disruption to the flow of capital you have people speaking out against public health and collective action, screaming "totalitarianism." This entire paper is not provocative so much as it is a defense of the very oligarchies it purports to challenge. Lastly, the author clearly attempts to downplay Stiegler's well known leftist politics, but why? hmmm
Interesting talk. Only long part about Trentowski seems to be out of place.
Let me save you an hour of your time, there's nothing about cybernetics in the video. This guy is highly deluded if he thinks that we're at the epoch of understanding ourselves and the epoch of prosperity, he's the personification of the corporate led state. Also he will call life an anomalous phenomenon because he's blinded by the scientific dogma. He will use a made up word "Homo Cyberneticus" just to invoke some kind of feeling in the audience, humans have been leveraging feedback and control since they came to be. Furthermore, how can you claim that this sort of mentality is for the benefit of humans and animals and the ecology as a whole, when the planet has always been doing well, and it's only through human's insatiable desire for more control and consumption that the ecosystem has degraded? He sees humans as something separated from the environment, he sees the rational human as something distinct from the feeling human. He claims that pandemics have killed more people than people have killed people. He claims that the US response to covid was it let everyone do whatever they want, they didn't impose vaccines or masks or social distancing or the like, and that's why the US had triple the fatalities??
Identity politics will evolve to artificial species. Negative feedback systems. Unregulated human purposful behavior?? Another anti-human 3000 step pseudo-philosophy coming out of academia.
Incomprehensible mumbo jumbo, because what can we do with it which would help us out of social entropy?
Wonderful presentation by clearly one brilliant philosopher! I am working on a systems proposal titled "World View Economics, Cybernetic integration of Technological and Natural Systems". This lecture has inspired me to dig deeper and I have unveiled a whole new outlook on systems theory. I am utilizing a Panpsychist viewpoint to analyze economic systems and social disparity and through this propose a novel method on food and energy production. I would love any help you can provide and would be an apt pupil :) Blessing from Dane Dube!
the term hyperbolic symbolizes the strained uber-human presupposition of A.I., for me, and the term boring symbolizes the boring lock-step presupposition of the same. within any person's mental world is what is like a delicate ecosystem and busy-ness, the biological being is a community of cells, which are not really beings themselves, but could have been "if only the entire history were slightly different, and, multicellular beings were less singular." They are sublimated to the whole which is called body. And A.I. is simply more cells, in the body of human existence, so, it is already a relationship and transactive, with one problem, which is, the A.I. does not yet exist, but is imagined, and, believed to be on its way as a further maturation of human expression. Just my thoughts, don't take me too seriously, I'm serious enough by myself lol

This talk can be of interest to the historian of cybernetics.
Hutchings in "Global Ethics: An Introduction" described the arguments of Habermas as Rationalist because of the answer to the "why" question. Described therein, Habermas associates those that make metaphysical assumptions with monological assumptions. The video of which this comment is a reply suggests a creative situation of why the monological assumptions are made in professional circles.
Outstanding. Who are you?

Thanks for this!
Such a great and interesting talk!
Great job well articulated. It reminds me of how Newtons more mri machine line of thought all but computational brings about mechanics and now we take mechanics use it in bringing about computation. We find that our astronomy copys a similar experience where we map physical form & shape if we stay in that measure it runs into 3 degrees of separation or yoo hoo woo hoo hieseberg uncertainty..or repeat the Babylonians finding dark matter spirits in the sky lol we can suspect it's how several Eastern traditions come about. We effortlessly plagiarize & correlate & project Human qaulitys are all over, and many have a hard time seeing reality any other way, but it's great to see the evidence beginning to close some gaps where we talk past one another .bringing in ways to accurate things that just had no means of expressing in the past. Being that my uk separatist pilgrim puritan classical American christian heritage has a building inventor fundamentalistic eccentric side that's been so predictably good at foresight even in its opposition to grand unified theory it's lead to many discoverys even where Darwin was so opposed to it . I do think most are getting closer to understanding why we should be cautious about anthromorphized astronomy and geology and mechanized biology while trying to build human agency into computation . The Amish was over reactionary but when x,y,z man made time hierarchy knowledge of Good and evil equations are so utilized in how we model what we deem to be symmetric , orderly,beauty vs ugly ,chaotic etc etc we need to be careful. In between Inderect lines of detection of matter on the smallest scales vs more direct lines measured brings some promising searches for maybe things we confuse with life. Reducing & eliminating noise would really help us in the long run .
Excellent talk!

@@Itsmespiv4192 There is nothing inherently good about "technology". "AI" has been used to define lots things in real life and in fiction, but never so deceptively as today.

Thing is, gaia is a dying planet, and she knows it. We were told that the planet will die in 5 billions years due to the sun going red giant, that is entirely obsolete knowledge now. We have a far future timeline that is way more precise, and we realized that the earth is already past 90% of its life. It does not have billions of years, in fact, it does not have more than a couple hundreds millions years. Geologically, that is just the bat of an eye. It'll be a baren rock way before the sun starts expanding. What first generation gaiaist failed to recognize is that if everything is self-regulated, then, the technosphere itself IS an emanation of gaia. If you really believe in the gaia theory, then you have to understand that the carbon pulse was a mean to an end for gaia. We've been just burrowing into fossil carbon at her behest. There is a probability we might buy her a couple hundred millions more years, just as well as strip her of a couple hundreds millions years less. That is the bet gaia made by giving us access to abundant and cheap fossil energy.
This is a technocrat cult.

Very interesting lecture! It's so cool to see another perspective on cybernetics and socialism after learning of Stafford Beer's work in Chile under Allende in the early 70s. Thanks very much
Very cool video! Thank you for uploading. With regards to the implications about AI, my sense is that the ultimate victory of the cyberneticists should come in the just-falling-short of present AI strategies. They were right that the brain is a functional, embodied organ, and what we have done with our mass data is not overcome this but approximate a second reality only parallel to our own. Its why AI can still get smarter but not make basic inferences like if A=B then B=A as recent papers showed. It's why the head of OpenAI (and others) says they're not training GPT5 because the scaling is falling off, but they are considering that 'maybe some symbolic reasoning' or some other shift in paradigm will deliver AGI. In my opinion, it will not happen, because mind is fully embodied, and no matter how vast a digital reduction of reality becomes, it is not reality. If you wanted to approximate reality fully, you would not seek raw compute and dead data, but the active inputs of billions of cells and subsystems... which sounds familiar.
