Exactly, tech is hellbent on preserving our humanity while discarding the embodied world that makes us human. It's a schizoid's fantasy.

  It reminds me of that one now-infamous tweet about how an NFT of a diamond is more valuable than an actual diamond since a diamond can be destroyed.

    which, funny enough, wound up being true for the NFT's original creator. i don't believe that is the case any more, though, lol.

  Interesting that you raise the connection to schizotypal thinking. I recently learned there is a quite explicit connection between excessively instrumental, abstraction-obsessed thinking and schizophrenia. I recommend looking into the work of Iain McGilchrist if you want to learn more. A brief sample: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkfMnaLpU7s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jkfMnaLpU7s

  That’s because it’s mostly schizoids creating this stuff (myself included)

    Do you have an inability to form close connections with other humans? Would that be different towards artificial ones?
