Pt. 16: Bio Techno-enslavement (Faustian Bargain, Adhesion Contract)

A deal with the Devil (also called a pact with the Devil, Faustian bargain, or Mephistophelian bargain) is a cultural motif exemplified by the legend of Faust and the figure of Mephistopheles, as well as being elemental to many Christian traditions. According to traditional Christian belief about witchcraft, the pact is between a person and the Devil or another demon, trading a soul for diabolical favors, which vary by the tale, but tend to include youth, knowledge, wealth, fame and power.

A “deal with the devil” analogy, also known as a Faustian bargain, refers to a situation where someone sacrifices their moral integrity or values in exchange for power, knowledge, or some other form of gain. This concept is rooted in folklore and literature, with one of the most famous examples being the legend of Faust, who made a pact with Mephistopheles (the devil) for unlimited knowledge and worldly pleasures.

“In an adhesion contract, one party has substantially more power than the other in creating the contract. For a contract of adhesion to exist, the offeror must supply a customer with standard terms and conditions that are identical to those offered to other customers. Those terms and conditions are not negotiable.”
