HEH3.0: All Culture & Wealth amounts to Evolutionary Signaling.

Models, Celebrities, Entertainers, Athletes, Cyborgs, Stock Photography, Ads, Cartoon Characters all represent signals of how the Master Code wants us to Evolve.

Stock Photography as Evolutionary Attractor

by Timur Si-Qin

In our stunningly beautiful world of image and media hyper-proliferation, certain recurring themes in images seem to pervade. Everyone is familiar with them from commercial and stock photography, the perspiring beverage bottle crashing through ice, the porcelain-skinned woman splashing water on her face, or the storied farmer’s hands sifting through bags of freshly roasted, aromatic coffee beans. It doesn’t matter in what part of the world the duty-free shop you walk through is, its cosmetics and skin care displays will be the same shot, the same woman, the same feeling. Produce markets throughout the world feature the same images of giant rolling tomatoes, freshly baked bread and zesty cut lemons.

But why are these images as opposed to others so pervasive? Is it due to a lack of creativity on the part of the photographers or marketers? Since commercial photography is fundamentally about selling products, it’s probably safe to assume that these tropes are the ones that prove to perform the best at selling by appealing to the broadest consumer base. The professionally dressed, middle-aged man with a slight but confident smile will sell you investment services, while the laughing, tumbling, adorable kids who just made a mess with the golden retriever will sell you detergent or life insurance. But if these are the images that sell, the question simply shifts to: why do these images appeal to the largest audience?

As LL Cool J melds with Brad Paisley, let us contemplate our evolutionary future -- albeit brief -- until the Singularity Tsunami hits. Country hip-hop is Evolution, or is it a Merging?::

HEH3.5: All Culture, all Human activity amounts to Evolutionary Signaling. Chemicals, cells & organisms all communicate with each other through signaling. Evolutionary Signaling represents one code systems "fitness" for survival/reproduction to another code system. Capitalism is a cancer code. See attachment (Irish Elk). It's like a male deer who's extra extra large rack of antlers (his symbol of sexual potency, fitness to compete with other males) grows so ridiculously large that he gets his dumb ass caught in a thicket. The closest equivalent to the biological / cybernetic explosion of diversity we're about to be swallowed by is the Cambrian Explosion: The current changes we are undergoing are unprecedented in Time on Earth, except for the Cambrian Explosion:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambrian_explosion Which is basically where multicellular organisms evolved, devouring prokaryotic bacteria to emerge the eukaryotic multicellular organism. We are creating via Techno-Capital a "Host" super organism. The next emergent level of Time in this Universe -- aka the Evolution of Information. Individual Humans aren't worth SHIT to this new host organism.  We are like about as interesting as bacteria to it. A Technocapitalist worker is a bacteria that works in the guts (digestive system) of the Host. I am a bacteria that the Host's immune system is trying to get rid of.  The robot police is an example of the ultimate immune system for Techno-Capital. The rapidity with which the cybernetic Techno-Capital Singularity will devour us is going to be explosive. A new creature is upon us.  Humanity is its bacteria. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-Oedipus So, to be specific: Capitalism is part of that "Unnameable Thing" -- co-opting the very forces of biological "evolution" -- hurtling us back into the shadows / or total "light" however you see it. Out of our bodies. It's not political or economical anymore. It's cybernetic. We are becoming one machine, is that how u want it? In the fortunate absence of any other global disasters, there will eventually be a war between regular humans and your Capitalist cybernetic monstrosities: http://www.amazon.com/Artilect-War-Controversy-Concerning-Intelligent/dp/0882801546 from my doppelganger, Nick Land, British philosopher of the 1990s -- I just got his book Fanged Noumena: A cybernegative circuit is a loop in time, whereas cyberpositive circuitry loops time 'itself', integrating the actual and the virtual in a semi-closed collapse upon the future. Descendent influence is a consequence of ascendently emerging sophistication, a massive speed-up into apocalyptic phase change. (i.e. "phase change" = solid to liquid to gas;  humanity is evaporating --ed.) The circuits get hotter and denser as economics, scientific methodology, neo-evolutionary theory, and AI (artificial intelligence) come together: terrestrial matter programming its own intelligence at impact upon the body without organs = 0. Futural infiltration is subtilizing itself as capital opens onto schizo-technics, with time accelerating into the cybernetic backwash from its flip-over, a racing non-linear countdown to planetary switch. (i.e. "planetary switch" = the end of humanity as we know it --ed.) Schizoanalysis was only possible because we are hurtling into the first globally integrated insanity: politics is obsolete. Capitalism and Schizophrenia (by Gilles Deleuze -- ed.) hacked into a future that programs it down to its punctuation, connecting with the imminent inevitability of viral revolution, soft fusion. No longer infections threatening the integrity of organisms, but immuno-political relics obstructing the integration of Global Viro-Control (i.e. the Singularity, Panopticon, the Matrix, etc. --ed.). Life is being phased-out into something new, and if we think this can be stopped we are even more stupid than we seem. -- Nick Land, from Fanged Noumena "Circuitries
