Archeofuturism

Technoprimitivism 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.

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. Someone advocating this might either view collapse as inevitable and see the technobarbarian as an ideal survivor or want collapse and see the technobarbarian as an ideal human. Someone in the first camp would likely wish to preserve technology to rebuild while someone in the second camp would likely want to prevent civilization from ever rebuilding.

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.

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.

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.

Technocratic Primitivism
In this scenario, technoprimitivism can take a variety of degrees and model itself after a variety of cultural traditions, taking a more Distributivist style modeling Catholicism, a more AnAg style modeling Rastafarian values or Hare Krishna values. Society is based on family units allocated approximately adequate land plots and taught permacultural techniques as a cultural tradition. Everyone is expected to farm. Entertainment and art is kept focused on physical media and shared with the community in festive rituals. Like a worldwide quilt of Amish colonies, but without an Rumspringa and no overt Religious authority, instead values that work in religious societies have sublated down to obvious and unquestioned, unobstructive social morays.

Some versions involve pre-agricultural patterns at lower population densities with less elaborate cultural patterns permitted to form, governance in these models involves tweaking populations at the margins through covert intervention.

The social and geo-economic fabric of the hyper-majority is constrainted very efficiently by the Shadow Government, who use economic modeling, climate engineering and technological supremacy to only-rarely enforce near-mythological displays of law enforcement power. Thus the shadow government is something of a scientocracy that behaves like an Anarcho-Monarcho, intervening only periodically to keep boundaries on murder and other transgressive behaviors fresh in the minds of the population.

While generally always extremely minimalist, the posture of the shadow government may be authoritarian or totalitarian, and the staffing of the scientocracy may give way to a shadow Cyberocracy or AIocracy within the scientocracy. The taboo on developing strong AI within the scientocracy requires that human developers maintain the code base, and perform pattern recognition feats that specialized Machine Learning cannot do. All shadow governments would run weather/crop insurance, weather simulation, and limit dissemination of knowledge, some would veer into full weather control. A totalitarian shadow government also employs the AI behavioral simulation models of modern Neoliberal Technocracies, and seeks to identify anyone who is unhappy with the Status Quo and physically remove them to an appropriate controlled setting (sort of like The Matrix, but the opposite).

Only under the strict control of the ruling shadow AIocracy or Scientocracy, the human organism is adjusted through germ-line engineering (since it requires no supply chains) to extend human life span, reduce human susceptibility to disease, and moderate human inclinations towards violence. Realizing that following the ethos of not leaving the planet or developing Strong AI/Cosmic Engineering, there are only about 100 million years before the sun makes life on Earth horrible, the Shadow Government decides to have more fun. They include in their upgrades the seeding of small amounts of augs and devices, initiate different orders of "Mages" into these mysteries but only enough to inculcate a Cargo Cult of limited-knowledge, and then observe and experiment with thousands of multi-generation cycles of Mage empowerment, diffusion of the technology, attempted Mage-driven political formations, their conquests, rise and fall, until a coup within the Pull Request administrators of the Scientocracy changes the ruling AI to model a 0-Mage scenario only. Then the world can slowly return to homeostatic historical patterns.

Clarkeism
Named after Clarke's Third Law (any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable fro magic), this advocates the creation of a world of folkloric and mystical beings through freedom of form and of association, allowing people to become new kinds of creatures and beings, while bringing back a sense of mysticism combined with scientific knowledge to create an understanding of the universe both esoteric and magical and rational and nondogmatic. It also advocates the eventual development and use of AI to protect humanity from destroying itself or its fundamental humanity while creating a system of magic, protecting people from extreme suffering technology could bring, rewilding and keeping primal the world, nature, and humanity, creating an afterlife and system of reincarnation, and otherwise not interfering with human freedoms. To do all this, it believes in accelerating the process of modernity to achieve AI sooner and to have a competitive advantage over other AI developers.

Technoprimalism
Technoprimalism is an ideology that holds people should return to a more feral animalistic state without abandoning intelligence or technology. It is an explicitly anarchist variant that holds the primal human spirit should be allowed to flourish freely to regain its primal freedom, that humans are animals at their core, and that society should be structured on human instincts and values and the overall state of being human rather than on law or material prosperity. It also believes in transhuman augmentations for people to better fit their own intuitions, while seeking to rewild itself to live a more fulfilling lifestyle, and viewing cities as just another environment.

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).
