The idea is just ancient hierarchy reimposed in a decentralized, horizontalized info grid. About as plausible as Santa Claus becoming ruler.

I suspect so. The case was made in 102 minutes, a NY Times book detailing how 18 people on or above the South Tower's impact zone managed to escape in one of the partially collapsed staircases. Were the stairs built to firecode specs i

Any mythic/causal statement (lightning causes fire) is a lie of folk science.

Article neglects that the WTC defied NYFD building codes on egress. If the code was applied as existing in 1966, it would require 8 or 9 fireproof staircases. Instead Rockefeller asked for and got a pass and the building instead had three s

Mosura is correct, there was never a consensus reality world. Consensus post-domestication is built from coercion into centers. This requires a steady diet of myth or religion that explains phenomena. If you think consensus is agreeing that

Claiming to imagine a workaround like "virtue" will solve the embedded primate bias inherent in our lossy signaling like words and narrative/causal statements is worse than wishful thinking, it's uniformed and positivist

Baehr and Curtis are still trapped behind the edifice of evolution. We're primates, we compete for status at any cost that has better benefits, including epistemological loss. The problem is actually quite simple, we use words, which a

That's the narrative being spun in the press and politics, but the facts are different it appears from this analysis. Probably, nothing can be believed in the political sphere, nor it's retelling in the news now.

I'm an anthropologist who's delivered papers at the presidential level at the AAA, which outside of authoring monographs is about as high as it gets. Now I'm training to be a neurobiologist. Not only do I know what science an

sorry, I've tuned you out. Probably I'm not an AI considering typos and agreement errors.

That's a precise, incisive observation: OpenAI is trivial (any AI provider is), supported by evidence as demonstrated. It has no claim to operating software that's specifically distinct from others.

There is no relationship between history (which is subjectively narrated), logic (which is an abstraction) and politics (what are arbitrary). If you had an understanding of what history is, you'd understand it has no scientific validit

It's philosophy, Michael Huemer is a philosopher, not a "political philosopher" which is oxymoronic. Nature is neither rational nor irrational, nor is it logical or illogical. By nature, irrational things or behaviors are not

Nothing you're stating is empirically valid. The framer has no valid framework. There are no such things as empirically valid statements in political science, as the field is composed of subjective narratives. There are no such things

Are you kidding, it deals with phenomena and beliefs, do you understand the illusion of beliefs? What phenomena is?

It has no basis in psychological discourse, politics is by nature illogical. So creating logic games from arbitrary metaphors (what politics is based in and especially when each side is calling the other with the same arbitrary label) is li

Find it interesting that an entire field of coding is about to fall by the wayside based in irrational exuberance not panning out, and the adherents are relying on down-voting (status removal) rather than engaging with the problem at hand.

We ignore that AI, doesn't really work, it has to be propagandically branded as being/doing things it isn't really doing, must be supervised by experts who actually know what is wrong (which is a paradox - who is learning in

The whole concept of "enshittification" ignores that bureaucracy and mediocrity are sourced in primate laziness, which is output at the initial bottlenecks of symbols and metaphors. These are expediencies that engage our status dr

The paradigms are in initial conditions. This end state of binary/arbitrary/symbol/stat units are largely irrelevant. They're mindless proxies. They bear no relationship to the initial conditions. They're imaginatio

Writer fundamentally mistakes the evolution of communication as ascending through bottlenecks when in reality, our communication is bottlenecked at very indirect perception across units and formats, none of which provide good, sensible sign

The entire scope of human storage or memory is not a constraint, but comes bottlenecked before constraints at arbitrary symbols, images and metaphors. The data even though it's analog, is still bottlenecked. Nothing specific even embed

The anocracy variable is at the highest level since the first Civil War. Technically the system is blinking red, and the lack of street fighting is not an indication of Civil War, it's law-abiding discourse that separates polities from

This is spot-on. It's an example of the endgame of human communication, the ultimate function of arbitrary signals is to refute themselves.

These examples are brilliant illustrations of an internet endgame for symbols, representations, metaphors. In other words, "the internet: where primate communication came to die."
