"C e we are trying to do is build a humanity increased, we build machines to help people make better things they can not do it well "... We can not say that we were not warned. But, strangely, c ette programmatic statement by Eric Schmidt virtually unnoticed outside the circles concerned technophiles.
The CEO of Google has announced yet clear color late September to the conference TechCrunch San Francisco: "The" Internet firm now aims to make its search engine sufficiently "autonomous and intelligent to guess our desires, our discovery make the world " serendipity " calculated by the algorithms Wizards concocted by the brain working at the Googleplex in Mountain View.
If one believes Herr Doktor Schmidt there will come a day when Google thinks the world for us , we offer suggestions before we even entered any research on our QWERTY keyboard : "I'm interested in history ? I want my smartphone to me tells the story of where I am without asking " said the boss of Google to illustrate his point. Eric Schmidt tells us tomorrow - this decade - a bright future where engine guess the divine in our thoughts to help us live, work, educate ourselves, inform ourselves, like ... where YouTube and Google will offer TV programs at any time tailored to suit your tastes, where Google News We deliver a real-time news targeted our own interests, where our cars will lead all alone Guided by Google Maps ... Blablabla.
It was science fiction a decade ago, but today is already tomorrow Google is already a true extension of ourselves same, extending a pseudopod our digital cortex. Google is in your head, you know better than anyone by force record your every move on the Web. Have you ever tried living without Google? In our society it hyperinformation means living without the Internet, to run the 100 meters with a leg less ...

You can not do without Google, except a man be "diminished" . In any case, the project assumed the leadership of "The" Firm. Sergei Brin, founder of Google, recently said he wanted to make his creation "third hemisphere of our brain" .
Eric Schmidt has stepped up provocative statements to that effect at IFA, the great pagan mass of electronics that was held in early September Berlin: "We can suggest what to do next, what interests you. Imagine: we know where you are, we know what you like. " " Not only you'll never be alone, but you also never get bored! We'll suggest what you should watch, because you know what you want. "A very near future where you forget anything, because computers can remember. You'll never get lost. "
Achtung another one who has read Orwell too ... Remember " 1984 ": "Big Brother is watching you. You have nothing, apart from a few inches from your head" ... " Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength", "The crime does not think of death. The crime of thinking is death " . et cetera ... Especially no longer think for yourself, Google will help you ... Seriously? Yes and No . Another way is irresponsible to make money playing with our most secret fantasies. Consume, be sexy, kiss, do not die ...
TF1 can get dressed with his "brain time available" . Television we conceive as passive recipients of swallowing the subculture and advertising as geese we Gave a battery? Google goes much, much farther: to the "Inception" , the suggestion of the idea in our heads even before we have thought, as in the bad sci-fi movie recently released in theaters. "We want to organize the sea of information available on the Web for the good of humanity," the Gentiles hammer Leaders of Google Earth for ten years. OK but what for? to sell us products we do not need , an orgy of high-tech gadgets, dream travel, fast food, home loans, "good shots" of low-cost on-screen AdWords sponsored links to each of our requests.
Google wants to help us "increase our capacity" but fuck what is the point exactly?
The issue goes far beyond the single issue of the usual hyper-monopoly of the firm and constant flicage of which we are subject on the Internet. It is a philosophical and political. Car "Humanity plus" to "transhumanity", there is only one step that could rise by "new man" ... dreamed this superior being who wanted to build a "Reich for a thousand years. The elimination of inappropriate eugenics by "the triumph of the will."
Today we all want to improve our PERFORMANCE be rich, handsome, famous, eternally young, lifts, Botox, retouched in Photoshop, bronzed UV graft, pacemaker, blood transfusions, chemotherapy until end stage for not dying, DO NOT BE A LOSER . In this messianic program, the Google, that of individualism narcissistic maniac, that of wild liberalism, the turbo-capitalism in its phase of accelerated techno, there is the false promise of Eternity is common to all merchants religious, ideological totalitarianism . There is more room for the poor, the weak, the misfits ... Look in the subway, in the streets, they are dying before our eyes as in the Middle Ages, the transhumanist ideology of progress and more.
This ideology is already there in us as Google is only the mirror. A business like any other, more powerful than others without another project that profit, under its Coooolissime: "Nothing Personnal, Just Business." OK.
The underlying ideology is far more dangerous than its economic and technological expression. Do as Houellebecq, we serve from Wikipedia for a nice cut and pasted instructive
"The transhumanism is a cultural and intellectual movement advocating the use of science and technology to develop the physical and mental beings humans. Transhumanism considers certain aspects of the human condition such as disability, suffering, illness, aging or death suffered as unnecessary and undesirable. In this context, the transhumanist thinkers rely on biotechnology and other techniques and emerging ...". Exactly "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley its citizens with Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta we read when we were little (is not it ;-)... Olivier

Like Google, Google is indispensable to me, I'll be lost without Google ... and I do not think Google has made a conscious project to enslave us. They are just business as TOTAL is total war, they aspire only to dominate the market of 6 billion people we are. Like Microsoft, Apple and many others. But they participate in the transhumanist PROJECT: immortality, become living gods. A new religion conceptualized by the good doctor Max More and his "Extropianisme" :
"We challenge the inevitability of aging death we seek to gradually improve our mental and physical capabilities, and develop ourselves emotionally. We see humanity as a phase transition in the evolutionary development of intelligence. We defend the use of science to accelerate our transition from a human condition to a condition transhuman or posthuman. As stated by the physicist Freeman Dyson, 'humanity seems a wonderful beginning, but not the last word " (Introduction to Principles extropians "3.0).
transformation of self to blow implants, bodybuilding, cosmetic surgery, Viagra, and soon chips transcutaneous neuronal connections directly to the network like a fucking Cronenberg film. Wow what a program!
The Google without thinking. Certainly not mine. I am a human, not a post-human, or a transhuman. I smoke (a little), I drink (a little) I live, I, too fast, too strong as many of us. Life is good. But like you, I will die one day and Google will not help ...
