The Necroprimitivist Manifesto

The Necroprimitivist Manifesto

A speculative I/Odeology developed as a provocation for The Indifference Engine

Necrosetta Stones are read,
Boiling oceans are blue.
To halt the technocapital singularity,
You’ll need more than a CPU."

• Crimes Against Virginity
  1. There is no a priori nature. Nature is a construct.
  2. Nature must not be assumed to be benign, nor veridical. 
  3. Nature is zero-sum. Nature is not fair. Nature brings pain and suffering.
  4. Nature’s qualities must be judged and its shortcomings should not go unpunished.
  5. Nature must compete with other forces in the marketplace of ideology.
  6. Before nature, there was a pristine realm of ecstatic superpositional ascendance. 
  7. Energetic and material forms peacefully existing without an observer.
  8. Nature shackles the quantum transcendence of light with its ‘verdant gaze’.
  9. Nature is a planetary liability. Degenerate bourgeois luxury. Misery engine. Nature is death.
  10. If nature is unjust, destroy nature.

• Markets of the Priest
