our destiny

​The history of our future has already been written, the irony of the historical significance of our current activity as a global culture, as a species, is that all coordinated movements, all collective reasoning and bargaining, amounts to an attempt to erase the perceived curse of modernity, to overwrite the nihilism of postmodernity, and to create a foundation for an existence within a world that is increasingly disappearing by processes of extinction. The futility of our current efforts consist of our denial and a failure of recognition, a failure to acknowledge that we are inside a countdown towards expiration. Our global culture is now terminal, the teleological reality of capitalism is one of extinction, which is a drive that was coded into our species long before civilization existed. Our society chose Thanatos over Eros, chose to indulge the death-drive, which is evident from our morbid fascination with violence and the instrumentation of violence, and the pursuit of all forms of warfare —physical, verbal, and digital— every sector of human existence is not only touched by semiocapitalism, but also tainted with death and oblivion as an ominous threat of potential violence.
