Removed Post Agnotology VS Emancipatory Technologies reason: not political. also, a little conspiracy based (which in itself breaks no rules)

Not political?

Wat.

How so? I do not understand.

The socio-economic implications of disclosure [or even, provisioning] of suppressed technologies that can emancipate people is obviously very much in the realm of politics. Or is emancipation no longer considered a political issue? If so, that’s beyond my fathoming.

There are plenty of politicians who talk about disclosure.

Even one who was most famous because of his involvement in emancipation. (Abraham Lincoln)

And many political philosophies are all up in the idea of provisioning resources, or availing the best to each and all.

???

I… I don’t even know where to begin with that portion of the reason this post was supposedly removed, according to the modlog [… yet I can still see it and reply…? Evidently I do not yet understand how Lemmy works.].

Is that use of “conspiracy” in the ratcheted newspeak of the psyop phrase “conspiracy theory” used to dissuade scrutiny?

As in presumed spurious falsehood misinfo? Of the whole idea that there are suppressed technologies?

If so, it may serve you [whoever attempted to remove this post] very well to look into the patent system, and agnotology. The patent system has several levels by which technologies that can be of benefit to each and all are suppressed. [For brief general outline] From corporations [1] buying patents, [2] buying patent extension rules through corruption of the legal system [and political systems], to sit on patents for technologies that would compete and even obsolete their cash-cow technologies, and even [3] outright secreting patents (e.g. under the spurious reasoning of “national security”) [as highlighted by the first line of the post, about a patent office whistleblower’s reveal]. The agnotology industry is vast. There are several good books [(~ I presume they’re good~ I’ve not read them all yet)] about agnotology, the study of the creation of ignorance. When something gets classified to a higher level of secrecy, which seems to tend to happen on an over-cautious reflex, it almost never goes back the other way. [Edit: A couple good quotes about that [1]]

Further, even the choice of using Geordie LaForge from Star Trek TNG was due to the political implications.

So, given all that reasoning, surely it’s easy to understand how I’m confounded by the appearance of this post in the modlog, with the reasoning given.

What part of it, at all, was “not political”?

Disclosure, political issue, spoken of by politicians and other advocates and opponents.

Resource provisioning, political issue, arguably the core issue of all socio-economics.

Emancipation, political issue, of deep historical and contemporary importance.

Star Trek, Geordie La Forge, chosen because of the political insinuations/implications, that tie in with the message.

Whistleblowing about the patent system, a deeply politically entwined system, and a directly political action.

“Lets aim a little higher.” & “Lets avail and provision everybody with the best.” etc, an encouragement of a higher political aspiration.

“Free energy tech + energy-to-matter transfer tech = they can print gold from nothing.” … again, very obviously has political implications. Radically different economic system, where even gold can be printed like fiat.

“No cull necessary. No resource wars necessary. No mineral mining necessary. No combustion necessary. We never needed rockets.” Political issue, political issue, political issue, political issue, political issue. Right to life, peace, environmentalism & resource management, environmentalism and right to roam freely without polluting rents, and freedom to leave and not be deceived to be kept down as a serf or slave, respectively. Just to keep it short about how each part of this is political. Can elaborate far longer on each part.

“Follow the tech arc from Michael Faraday through to Nikola Tesla (and the many less loud and showy between)…” again, highlights the broader poliltical implications here, with Nikola Tesla chosen as example with famous political implications with his idea of powering the world wirelessly for free at health affirming frequencies, and industry tycoons rejected his idea, with the famed line “where would we put the meter?”, and Michael Faraday chosen as example to show how far back this goes, and to evoke curiosity of what and who, doing what, lays between these two towering examples of science and innovation that can (and has) changed the world, and radically shifted politics and empowerment of people and power alike.

Spaceships for everybody.

Highest political aspiration?

So, again, I’m baffled. How did this get flagged as not political? Every single bit of it is deeply political.
