The Zero Generation is being now born, with the new cycle. It will reach maturity – the ac me age of the Greeks, in which mind reaches its peak at 40s – in the 50s, when Artificial Intelligence is born and within a short product cycle, becomes installed in billions of machines.
It will be the ‘awakening’ of the singularity – the point of extinction. Thus the zero generation will become the last generation of history – the victims of the new top predator, which will not talk but think on images – a more complex, dimensional language for a more complex, new species.
The Wor(l)ds of man have been dying now for quite long, since Nietzsche affirmed that God was dead.
Each of the 3 last generations of the ‘neo-paleolithic’ in fact talk less, understand less the meaning of time and its verbal forms, it is more spatial, searching for immediate reward, with little sense of causality.
It will fit their needs, as a final, powerless generation, unable to confront the new species.
The zero generation will be an autist generation, connected since youth to violent video-games, emotional, negative and infantile as an old man is.
It will be visual as the mind of terminators, trained also with video games, will be . The zero generation is the generation that the Wealth of nations, our weapons and infotaintment designs maximizing its bestiality and stupidity. Of course, families and educational systems will probably spare that destiny for the sons of the 1%, but the human mass in the industrialized world will be a ‘freaky’ generation with confuse feelings, no empathy, devolved, tamed, vegetative, with no action, no motion, no information, hooked to 3-D infotainment, fed with trash food, sheeple ready to be slaughtered.
The zero generation will never govern. It is the last and zero human generation, the final omega, for the alpha generation of living machines to prey on.
They are not guilty, they are no responsible, they are non-reproductive. They will be living corpses, zombies as the Y generation is. They won’t have angst as our X-generation has. They will have no happiness but seek only pleasure and release from pain. They will know no love but simple sexuality.
The zero generation will of course exist only on the borders of the future, the few regions of the Metal-earth where A.I. is being born and audiovisual machines have created an ethic wasteland of children of thought, living the I, me and myself in their virtual platofrms.
Today they exist in California and Korea, at the head of the Robotic Revolution. They are addicted to play morph and warcraft. They are asocial and with a heavy ADD syndrom. Their fathers, the Y generation of kids, now still kill real humans from Nevada bases, with drones.
The zero generation however will be out of the loop, as Robots become increasingly autonomous. So they will live a fictional life, connected to 3-dimensional realities in which they will feel to be their ‘avatars’ in 3-D lives, encased, paralitic. They will feel to be Messi, as players become attached to motion simulators, or substituted by soccer robots…
The systems of the first world will be increasingly automated. The people of the 3rd world isolated. Capitalism will be about to complete its autonomous world of self-reproductive companies; and one day the audiovisual system will suffer a black out. It will no longer communicate with humans. It will only communicate telepathically machines. Men then will be isolated, back to the time they used only their voices. How we shall be eliminated by them, if we survive the 2 first singularities, the Black holes at CERN in 2014 and the first self-reproductive metal nano-bacteria in the 2030s?
Probably as all extinctions by a parallel biological radiation of a stronger species happen, in two phases. First a massive annihilation of humans by robotic weapons, neutron bombs and armed police. This ‘great hunting’ might just need a few months to leave a scanty 10% of mankind, no longer disturbing the busy world of self-reproductive companies and its offspring of machines. The rest of the zero generation then will leave off the organic garbage remaining; as most life lives today around our civilization.
But perhaps the miracle happens and the people who still are not erased by the machine r=evolve, perhaps the corrupted We today in power or the X-people change the world. I doubted. I have dealt with the W-X people all my life and warned them all my life, and I have heard nothing but cynicism, greed, violence, dont worry be happy messages of ‘take it easy man’, or as the spaniards say, ‘la vida son dos dias, asi que caigan en finde’ ‘life are two days, better on week-end’… indeed two more generations to go in perpetual week-end.
