@embryosophy @pee_zombie the high-agency individual is the point of the spear, where the collective concentrates its agency so that it's powerful enough to be used to define itself

mostly any elected leader is less a commanding decision-maker, and more a focal point for the collective will, a steward of the emergent consciousness, the egregore's superego

not truly in charge, but simultaneously more and less so than any of the other individual components

when the system is a hyperobject, this entails a sort of agentic recursion; the overlay system emerges from the substrate's collective behavior, but to protect itself in a crisis, it incarnates in an individual, an avatar, empowered to take the wheel

consciousness as ergodicity insurance

paying a periodic premium to allow for a priority interrupt in extenuating circumstances enables a system to monitor for & guard against threats to coherence

same with computers; the resource costs you pay for self-monitoring you get back over the long term by avoiding terminal states, where individual processes parasitize the system to the point that a hard reset is required, lo…

oh, right

*functioning* individualism is a way to launder action on behalf of a vulnerable collective

a way to convert people into deniable kamikazes on the systems-process level

obvious when you think about it

best thing about being good at your job is that it makes Mondays an escape into competence, away from the untameable chaos of the rest of life

this is the meaning of hard materialism; nothing being unknowable doesnt mean everything will be known

however, in a entropic universe, standing still, let alone regressing, is akin to death; to survive we must perpetually keep moving, growing, improving, lest we fade from existence. some would say thats for the best, but I believe we're capable of more.

there is a type of bioessentialist luddite which resists any sort of cyborgization, ie integration of tools into the extended self; they push for a sort of RETVRN of the extended phenotype

there tends to be much overlap between them and trad degrowthers, a perpetual future shock
