Ultramaterial Future

Materialist - Minimalist - Orthogonalist

Separating scarcity and quality for the sake of novelty was a blunder.
Allowing cleverness to rob greatness from the frontiers loses the long run.
I don't want new materials for the sake of the environment nor minimalism for the sake of rejection.

The ascendance of minimalist ontology is a well-distributed excuse to avoid the hard problem of invention.
A technical renaissance should not be limited to the Great Feats of space travel, supersonic jets, or even a proliferation of the elusive flying car.

We have the Neuromancer's rejectionist drugs and the ‘trodes are on the way, but where is the ultrasuade?
We have polyester hoodies and retro leather, but where are the aerogel kimonos?
We have retina displays to repaint our space, but the walls are cardboard. Where are the alabaster cloud ceilings?

Return from minimalist to baroque? Orthogonalists build the ultramaterial future.
