Technomythology

by LD Deutsch

Technomythology is a new essay by LD Deutsch that explores the prevalence and popularity of the simulation hypothesis through a mythological framework. Rooted in a Jungian analysis of mythological models, Deutsch charts the concept of a computer-programmed reality from its most popular origin point, through the scientific and philosophical presuppositions necessary for its existence, into an associative understanding of its position as a model of reality. By considering the ever-evolving relationship between the collective unconscious and modern information technology, Deutsch traces an alternate narrative that may be read into the techno-hybrid fable of the simulation hypothesis: one that reveals an attempt to recover human meaning in a technological world changing faster than ever before.

LD Deutsch is also the author of Pluto and the Mythic D

My least favorite of the three pamphlets, but still well done. This collection looks at the Jungian study of symbols and the question about whether or not we live in a computer simulation. I, for one, do not believe we live in a computer simulation (in the context which we typically understand computers and simulations). But rather that we are non-localized energy engaged in a biophysical experiment and that our perspective is dimensionally constrained and therefore limited. Which is why a lot of quantum behavior appears "strange." But, who cares about what I think anyway? Deutsch has some good points and has written a brief and engaging intellectual read.
