Help me Litbros I have to choose a thesis topic for my philosophy undegrad. I was going to do it about the relatyionship between tech and democracy but it just sounds like a redditor and I've come to realize democracy is garbage anyways at a geopolitical level it seems technocracy is better.

So I was thinking maybe something metaphysical. I cheated through my degree so I know nothing but I will give you a word salad so you can maybe give me a cool idea based on my undeciphered interests:
>kant thing on itself being sentience itself (is this like fucking panpsychism?) (schopenhauer?)= anyt other panschychcic niggers?
>hegels movement of being leading to the development of material objects through its segmentation into different properties (????=)
>sellars critique of empiricism but also displaced/applied toa criotique of rationalism innate ideas or some shit and maybe a wittgensteinian spin
>giving transhumanhjism a foundation on neo-christian ideals: creating robot angels, gods, beautiful neo-gothic architecture, giving robots sentience and noble feelings aesthetic beauty etc. give it metaphysical foundations on eastern philosophy, plotinus, spinoza substance?
>jacques ellul (i.e kazscinzky) as a proponent of technocratic fascism: is fascism real? practical problems with wealth concentrated technocracy (USA) (i.e potential corruption "hubris" leading to self destruction) typical anti monarchy arguments analyzed from the POV of modern technocracies (how to explain success of Shyna?) , maybe moldbug shit?
>hegel to explain quantum physics???)(im completely full of shit on this one)
>possible logical validity of spinoza substance an examination from a bunch of different angles?

I did a 3 year degree Im 21 p'lease don't judge me >_< it has to be 70 pages min

I like this. The Trasncendental Unity of Aperception could be a good candidate for the thing in itself. Solid.

>hegels movement of being leading to the development of material objects through its segmentation into different properties (????=)

This is wrong since the development of reason into different categories is atemporal. Matter is simply the negation of reason, it's opposite form. You could try to argue how it would lead to specific laws of nature or structures in nature and what exact aspects like gravity arise from this duality. Or how material aspects themselves derive logically from each other. This sounds way too hard and/or ambitious though. Or straight up impossible.

>sellars

That sounds good.

>transhumanism

Too stupid/larp/ambitious if you actually go that far lol.

>technocracy

Decent. Not sure how you'd say anything original though, everything has been said already.
