With
Memory and Genetics, during March, Cybek has been
focusing on the issue of Resistance. Its DNA-kit, which is low
priced for anyone who wants his or her DNA sample preserved for centuries
- even milleniums if one can think as far - has been available for several
weeks. Many people visiting the site are aware of the product. The DNAkit
page
ranks amongst the most
visited.
The overall
bad results of the Web in commercial prospects so far, do not explain entirely
the total absence of orders for something which is easy, cheap
and safe, desired from the beginning of mankind
(funeral rituals), and reasonably pressing to
execute. We are at the brink of a possible alteration of the genetic pool
of the species on earth, without knowing how to control it, nor at which
speed it may burst. We see clearly this possibility facing us. Any
reasonable behavior in such a situation would be to
store and preserve what may be soon - if not already
- altered, as it would be madness to neglect to make backups before
dangerous modifications of a hard-drive that would store vital data.
During several
weeks, not one kit has not been purchased. It is not for any harsh competition.
I had the opportunity of conversing with the producer of its saliva swab.
He reported about much information he received regarding a dramatic
resistance to any popular DNA approach. Cybek supports a theory which looks
at this phenomenon.
Criminals and
militaries are the two collectivities that have been considered so far by
the government for DNA conservation. It is not reassuring, for they are the
populations whose members' Wills are least likely to be honored. It emphasizes
an offense against Culture, which is not the first time. For when genetics
began with sperm conservation, the anonymity, which has been imposed on the
father genome, has adulterated a milleriums old civilization rule
.
Cybek's publishing
makes clearer how DNA
preservation cannot be limited to a conservation - which would use, restore
or reactivate DNA strands while ignoring their symbolic representation in
the past history of their re-actualization. The social link being molded
between DNA and naming
, the maintenance
of this blend is a requisite for a coherent development of History.
Resistance,
careless and undermining against DNA preservation, gives a sound example
of what Freud called Thanatos - the Death Drive which presents silence for
all memory of life. The Genetic Engineering civilization phase that we enter,
without looking at keeping Names and/or personal Wills attached to genes
and genomes, will develop into an Alzheimeric society.
Other pages
will make the thesis more clear and
understandable.
A real Ecological
Order not only requires a mastery upon the technology of genetics, it also
requires what the Art of Memory processes : the reattribution of the
Names at the Places, as the Wills at the Genomes. (re: DNAgroups
project emphasis upon the
attachment of a Person's Will to its genome
, to achieve a Conservation
into Preservation)
This is why
the green movement which has favored a taboo on Genetics, is becoming
the most efficient accomplice for the destruction of Nature - its daunting
warning against digitization and Genetics may have stunned environmentalism
supporters, and if this reluctance gives way to a blind and anonymous industry
of DNA, it will be primarily responsible for kicking out of its way the
progressive metamorphosis of life on Earth.

A page about Libido :
Any investigation on Libido is an heretic thesis in the field of established
Psychoanalysis. A comprehensive expose
of a theory upon
Libido has made the second resistance confrontation in March. The impetus
towards these difficult approaches stems for the idea that there will be
little progress in addressing overpopulation by other means than death and
violence, as long as a disclosure of human sexuality (physiology and genetics)
will not be exhausted.
