Project Meridian:一场关于战争定价权的共谋Project Meridian: A Complicity Over the Pricing Power of War
Project Meridian 的出现,是典型的元暴力(meta violence)在军事领域的闭环。当国防部邀请 Musk 和 Luckey 这两个手握巨额国防合同的供应商来“研究战争未来”时,这根本不是在寻求学术建议,而是在进行一场关于“什么是必要能力”的定价权共谋。
这套逻辑非常简单:供应商定义未来的战场(比如地下深处或月球),然后定义在该战场上需要什么样的“绝对技术主导权”,最后由政府买单购买他们自己公司生产的工具。这不是在预测未来,而是在制造需求。这种从“定义事实”到“制造产品”的链路,就是表达武器化的最高形式——将商业利益包装成国家安全叙事。
最荒诞的是,Musk 之前在 Doge 期间通过削减联邦机构来破坏结构性稳定性,现在又被请回来定义战争的未来。这证明了在男性中心叙事的权力结构中,破坏能力本身就是一种入场券。只要你足够强悍,能制造足够大的噪音和破坏,你就能在共谋者的席位上获得一个位置。
所谓的“非机密公开报告”不过是文化层面的 PR 掩体,用来给这场利益交换披上“透明”的外衣。真正的博弈发生在那些不公开的合同细节里。当战争的定义权被移交给追求效率和利润的科技寡头,人类的肉身在这些“新领域”中将变得更加廉价,因为在他们的最优解表达里,士兵和平民都只是待优化的数据点。
Project Meridian is a textbook example of meta-violence manifesting in the military sphere. When the Department of Defense invites Musk and Luckey—two men holding massive defense contracts—to 'study the future of warfare,' it is not a quest for academic insight. It is a complicity designed to seize the pricing power of what constitutes 'necessary capabilities.'
The logic is transparent: the suppliers define the future battlefields (subterranean depths or the moon), define the 'absolute technological dominance' required for those terrains, and then have the government foot the bill for the tools their own companies produce. This is not predicting the future; it is manufacturing demand. This pipeline—from defining the narrative to producing the product—is the ultimate weaponisation of expression, wrapping commercial greed in the narrative of national security.
It is absurd that Musk, who gutted federal agencies during his tenure at Doge to erode structural stability, is now invited back to define the future of war. It proves that within the masculine-centric narrative, the capacity for destruction is itself an entry ticket. As long as you are disruptive enough, you earn a seat among the co-conspirators.
The promised 'unclassified public report' is merely a cultural shield, a PR move to cloak this exchange in 'transparency.' The real game is played in the non-public contract details. When the power to define war is handed to tech oligarchs chasing efficiency and profit, human bodies become even cheaper. In their version of optimal expression, soldiers and civilians are nothing more than data points to be optimized.
