abundance: b-side prometheanism draped in NPR aesthetics. same old cruelty, just more palatably curated
March 23, 2025 at 12:10 PM
It is all so disappointing, because I really believe something like "abundance," or "prometheanism" is an important political mindset. It is future orientation, and *should* be liberatory.

On this Christmas Eve, and on every other religious festival of every other religion, my Unitarian arse prays for righteous vengeance on the Russian Federation. As Prometheus stole fire from the criminal Olympians, let Prometheanism burn the Third Rome to death.

There simply is no feminism that isn't promethean. And no anti-prometheanism that isn't anti-feminism.

We're not settling for blood moon cults, we're going to the fucking stars.

Great takedown of yet another bad attempt to revive modernism, prometheanism, etc that is really just trad reaction with futurist aesthetics. I’m not sure we deserve a better class of promethean, but we need it.
This characterization is going to stick with me. Per @sjshancoxli.liberalcurrents.com’s review, it’s like Brink Lindsey wants a world where radically transformative technologies have changed the world completely but household formation hasn’t changed since the Flintstones (both on a ‘50s model)

A nice little bit of Prometheanism to start your day.
pluralistic.net/2026/03/17/t... the main essay is strong on the problems of crude genealogical critiques of tech. And not just tech! So many good things - social democracy, feminism e.g. - have all sorts of shitty historical connections which should not be ignored, but aren't bloodguilt either

Kyiv is seeking alliances with non-Russians inside Russia

So we have a little civil war going on now in the realm of moral decency between those who affirm there are & should be some public standards & those who imitate Trump in shaking free from all of them, embracing the abyss of a cynical Prometheanism—unbound by any law except their own whim & will.

I say that as someone who has beef with the broad "we should strive for nothing but the mud; fuck science let's believe in vitalism" tendency in the Left for the last sixty years.

Rabid hardline prometheanism? That has legs as an opposition movement. But "abundance" is halfassed focus group shit.

“In the end, is Lindsey offering us Prometheanism? Or just repackaged patriarchy? One starts to hear echoes of Charles Haywood's "Foundationalist Manifesto," which (. . .)combines radical technological visions with retrograde gender and political norms.” www.liberalcurrents.com/are-we-prome...

Still can't fully believe we made a game about historical materialism, eco-austerity, and Prometheanism. But really it's the characters that stayed with me the most - I loved those guys. One more story to go...

"Prometheanism" becomes the centerpiece of Ukraine’s approach to Russia

Ukraine is not only defending its own independence but also actively working to undermine Russian influence both in the region and within Russia itself, including supporting anti-Kremlin ethnic movements.

We're missing a chunk of noosphere w/ cultural element of prometheanism and voluntaryist uplift of humans and nonhumans alike. Folks jumping straight onto acc melted ppls brains. upnetwork ~VCs took it to the head, thought they were main characters, assets too. Rampant objectification. Molochian.

Social ecomodernism, left-technocracy, liberal prometheanism…I’m sure there’s a term in there that will suit you if that one doesn’t strike your fancy

Geoengineering/climate technologies seems to move at a pretty rapid pace these days. Thus, my lit review is a bit outdated. I have read @hollyjeanbuck.bsky.social “After Geonegineering” and plenty on socio tech imaginaries, but it seems unsatisfying.

Suggestions for key current works in the field?

Ethics is no longer in fashion. “Christian Prometheanism” is the new thing.

Read @sjshancoxli.liberalcurrents.com and if you want to support a Prometheanism that doesn't try to write some big exception for gender roles, consider helping us meet our funding goal gofund.me/85d7263c2

drow prometheanism is when you fund various human kingdoms so that the sun elf bastards never experience a renaissance for what they did to ilythiir

The Counter-Enlightenment was right about the problem of Prometheanism and idolatry in the Enlightenment. They just failed to draw the necessary conclusion that not being God means giving up patriarchy, racism, colonialism etc. You can’t be all “ooh I’m so humble, I’m dust” and need constant control
