Archeofuturism is an ideology that believes in returning to a more primitivist lifestyle or society (it advocates for a return to a primitive lifestyle and not necessarily primitive values, unlike reactionary ideologies, which advocate for a return to premodern values and not necessarily a premodern lifestyle), while at the same time embracing futuristic and transhumanist technology.

Variants

Primitivism within Transhumanism

In this version, an advanced transhumanist society provides ways for people to live a primitive hunter-gatherer or agrarian life. This could be accomplished through virtual reality the creation of special wild zones and body uploading.

Transhumanism within Primitivism

In this version, a hunter-gatherer society with primitive technology uses hallucinogenic drugs and shamanic trances to allow people to mentally transcend their bodies and experience a higher form. Such a society also uses available technology to augment their bodies in ways that primitive technology can. Someone advocating for this today might wish to return to a hunter-gatherer society but use primitive technology to transhumanist means.

Technobarbarians

In this version, society has returned to a primitive stateless lifestyle after the collapse of civilization, but the people living in the ruins use whatever technology they can scavenge, with knowledge from civilization being kept and passed down by those who remember it and given mystical components, small-scale technologies still being built, hereditary transhumanist augmentations remaining, self-replicating technologies still functioning, scrap being harvested, and irreplaceable technologies being zealously guarded. Such a state would likely only last a few generations, but could potentially be extended to last longer if civilization is unable to rebuild. Technobarbarians can also refer to people adopting a barbarian ethos with advanced technology in opposition to an oppressive and/or collapsing society, either as warriors in a collapsing society who wish to establish a good position for themselves or anti-civilization rebels who wish to establish a primal society or societies. Lastly, it can also refer to those who adapt to city life while maintaining a barbarian and primal ethos.

Archeofuturism

This describes the ideas of French New Right philosopher Guillaume Faye. Inspired by post-modernism and the New Right, he advocated for a united white pagan Eurosiberia, with a society that combined transhumanist technology and eugenics with archaic and Homeric values, all under a totalitarian government led by a born leader as a chieftain. He was an anti-Zionist but later advocated working with Israel against Islam, which he ended up seeing as a greater threat to European values. He also advocated survival of the fittest on a racial level and believe collapse of Western civilization was inevitable unless a strong government and leader was there to prevent it.

Archaic Revival

Archaic revival is a concept created by mystic Terence McKenna. He believed that the modern world was sick, and humanity's collective consciousness was healing by reviving archaic values of the late neolithic, in ways such as body piercing/tattooing, psychedelic drugs, sexual permissiveness, surrealism and abstract expressionism, jazz and rock and roll and experimental dance, and raves, believing that humans of the past lived happier lives and were stronger in symbiosis with magic mushrooms. He viewed Freud, surrealism and abstract expressionism, and even Nazism (which he was nevertheless opposed to) as expressions of this revival of precivilized values. He also preferred shamanism to organized religion. As to the transhumanist side of technoprimitivis, he was supportive of the idea of a technological singularity, and believed the internet could be the birthplace of a global mind. He also viewed complexity as going through inevitable acceleration over time, believing that humanity would witness a singularity lead to complexity much greater than humanity. He was also an environmentalist.

Lunarpunk

Lunarpunk has been created as the yin to solarpunk's yang, with neopagan spirituality complimenting solarpunk's science, bioluminescence complimenting solarpunk's solar power, and individualism complimenting solarpunk's communalism. It has a fundamental goal of living in harmony with nature and going back to the land while embracing advanced technology. They also are aligned with the anarchist movement, due to opposing hierarchy and capitalism, and generally supporting anti-colonialism, gender equality, racial equality, and LGBT rights.

Technoreconstructionism

This term refers to attempts to recreate the lifestyle of a past people, while embracing futuristic technology. It can vary depending on the culture. Two common ideas include Neo-Romanism, which embraces futuristic technology and limited transhumanism, while trying to recreate the society and lifestyle of ancient Rome, and Neo-Vikings, which are like the Vikings of old, but using spaceships and raiding planetary settlements.

Personality and Behavior

Despite being both a primitivist and transhumanist, technoprimitivism actually speaks normally, and can normally be found hanging out with either Anarcho-Primitivism or Transhumanism (though this is often because he found them fighting and wanted to break it up).

How to Draw

Frenemies

  • Reactionary Modernism - We both want to go forward and back, but you don't go forward or back enough.
  • Jewish Theocracy - Ancient Israel is based, but your modern forms are too civilized, suppressing primal instincts, and humanistic.
  • Neoreactionaryism - Same as above, but at least you're into transhumanism.
  • Alt-Right - Excellent use of technology to revive archaic values. But you're too often reactionary rather than primitivist. And you're way too chronically online.
  • Anarcho-Individualism - I like how you refuse to follow artificial standards of modernity, but humans are social animals.
  • Roman Republicanism, Optimateism and Caesarism - You have a cool old lifestyle many want to return to, but you also destroyed many primeval cultures. And you looks like grand-grand-grand-grandfather lf him, that is not good.
  • Avaritionism - I like how you want to get rid of civilization without getting rid of technology, but you realize humans are communal animals, right?
  • Anarcha-Feminism - Same as with feminism. Some of my variants hate the patriarchy, and some of them are fine with it or love it.
  • Anarchism - You are good for fighting civilization's laws and structures, but some hierarchies are just a natural part of humanity.

  • Zionism - I used to dislike you, but you're a rival to Islam, so I like you for now.

  • Progressive Conservatism - Me but on the social axis. Same as Reactionary Modernism, but you want to go even less from the present.
  • Primalism - You do want to return to a primal state, but why would you want to abolish your humanity? Humanity allows you to make all this cool tech.
  • White Nationalism - Some of my variants are fans of you, and others hate you.
  • Anti-Racism - Those who oppose racial nationalism understand that race is a construct of civilization and not something apparent to primal humanity.
  • Fourth Theory - Cool ideas about tradition and Dasein, but why do you hate transhumanism? Also, you don't go far back enough.
  • Post-Humanism - Basically the same problem but flip-flopped. Still, using technology to become gods is pretty based.
  • Social Darwinism - Past or future, the strong thrive at the expense of the weak, but humans are socially empathic animals. You seem to want us to only be predators when we're predators and nurturers.
  • Nazism - You idolize modern technology and the precivilization of Germanic tribes, but you did nothing to abolish modern civilization when you were in power and just tried to build an empire. Plus, no one wants to be associated with you.
  • Reactionaryism - I get that you want to "turn things back" but you need to turn them back more!
  • Progressivism - I get that you want to "achieve progress" but you need to achieve more!
  • Horseshoe Centrism - Yes, primitive and advanced are the same, but it's the same good thing.
  • Capitalism - Your drives lead to innovation but your culture suppresses humanity's primal spirit.
  • Feminism - Civilization oppresses women's wild nature, but you are usually too civilized.
  • Marxism - I like how the stateless communist society you wish to create is similar to the primeval society you've identified, but I don't like your focus on materialism and industrialization over tradition.
  • European Federalism - The peoples of Europe must unite, but not under a structure like the EU.

Enemies

  • The divide between primitivism and technology.
  • Conservatism - How can we go forward or backward if you insist on keeping the status quo?
  • Authoritarian Conservatism - Same as above, but you are even more insistent on stopping change.
