Foundations of a Technosophy

3^rd annual meeting of RPRCT project

The most powerful pharmakon available to the naked ape is technique, and the most powerful technique is capital. Marx knew this very well when he captured its Faustian and Promethean character. We must not forget this, for capital is not essentially greed or selfishness, but the technological and humanistic ability to preserve and multiply, through progress, the value of its goods, cultural and spiritual even before material, for the benefit of all humanity present as well as future generations.
