== The Grand Vision == | |||
So let us not just cast our gaze upon this grand vision, but let us now enjoy the splendid view from our summit. | |||
The dedication of attention to the manifesto, understanding the manifesto, and translating the manifesto into reality is a movement that has led you to our peak. This movement takes place within you and this movement also touches what surrounds you. This movement creates a new culture. | |||
We call this culture Postculture, meaning the culture that comes after the old culture. A culture that comes after modernity and a culture that comes after postmodernity. | |||
Our Postculture celebrates the new values that the manifesto represents. A culture that understands itself as a process. A culture that constantly changes and constantly gives birth to unforeseen ideas. A culture that sees itself as one with technology and a culture that continuously improves from within. | |||
It took many decades in the 20th century until communism fell literally overnight. | |||
The grand vision is the dream that humanity begins to question national states and with them the artificial borders, to examine, to understand, and to improve them. The grand vision is our dream that all people on all continents are united by a new, common goal, to strive towards a Postnation. | |||
A Postnation is not a new idea. Thinkers have been contemplating it for over a hundred years. John Lennon sang about a Postnation more than 50 years ago in "Imagine": | |||
Imagine there's no countries. | |||
It isn't hard to do. | |||
Nothing to kill or die for. | |||
And no religion, too. | |||
The grand vision is a dream that humanity, together with technology, strives to overcome itself, so that all our limitations imposed by being human can be eliminated, and we can become a Posthuman species. It is a dream that we can solve the problem of creativity and also the problem of social intelligence, that we can create together a Meritocratic Algorithmic Protocol in which the best ideas win. | |||
Posthumanism is not a new idea either. | |||
However, Ultanio is not a utopia as John Lennon has sung about. Ultanio is also not a utopia as read in the novels of science fiction authors or as preached by charlatans who call themselves futurists. | |||
Ultanio is a vision with a roadmap based on technologies that exist today. Ultanio is in the best sense an enterprise, a movement, and an adventure beyond culture, created by creators for creators. |
