Giving this another boost:

Matt Sheffield talks to me on his #TheoryOfChange podcast about why transhumanist neo-feudalists rely on computationalism to maintain their pipe dreams of immortality, brain uploading, and conquering the galaxy.

It's cargo-cult philosophy. And scientific Trumpism.

We can do better than that!

We need #IA (intelligence augmentation), not #AI ...

The future is meta- not hypermodern.

I really enjoyed this conversation. I hope you do too!

I talked to @mattsheffield on the #TheoryOfChange podcast @discoverflux about #AI, #agency, #minds, #computationalIsm, and why these topics matter in today's politics because of the "scientific Trumpism" that is #transhumanism:

Check out Paula Doress-Worters’ excellent collection of Rose’s work in Mistress of Herself and her website with more on Rose's life:

Something I appreciate in Rose’s work is a commitment to speaking of a better world that we have not yet made real and to the long-term work required:

“I said some years ago, when laying our claims before the legislatures, ‘I know you are not prepared to give us all we ask, but we claim all our rights. We ask for no more; we can be satisfied with not less. yet we will take what you are prepared to give us, and claim the rest.’”

There is an important distinction between anger aimed at ending unjust acts of coalition members vs. antipathy aimed at suppressing members or eliminating them from the coalition altogether.

In the U.S. Democratic Party coalition, the left often engages the former and the center-right the latter. But prominent arguments often portray the former as the latter.

In systems change, we speak in terms of logic: processes, frameworks, workflows, outcomes. This language is great for charting impact, but it flattens the emotional impact. It rarely makes room for care or contradiction.

As we design a new Theory of Change platform, we keep asking: what are we missing? What’s gone unmeasured not because it’s unimportant, but because it’s doesn't use corporate-speak?
