I.e if a physicist pretended only Newtonian physics existed, they would be laughed at, or if biologists ignored modern genetics and reverted to animalculism... you can't simply pretend the 19th and 20th centuries don't exist. challenging them, wanting to move beyond them, that's OK (I may not agree), but forcing us all to live in a theme park where it's always 1740 does not benefit anyone.
Analytics basically try to create a walled garden or Disney-style theme park where Hegel (and by extension Marx) never existed... ruled by the 18th-century God (the the 'rational economic actor', the 'free thinking individual', the res cogitans, the Kantian transcendental subject etc.) it's one thing to vigorously oppose important thinkers but to simply ignore them is intellectual dishonesty. And the real reason is neoliberalism and its hegemony over American institutions
uphill battle to convince transhumanists that we really should drop analytic philosophy, as its founding assumptions lead to cishumanism. instead we should read continental thinkers such as Leroi-Gourhan, Canguilhem, Simondon, Deleuze, Stiegler, Haraway, Stengers, Vivieros de Castro... Somehow the latter get labeled 'Posthumanist' thinkers. the point is the 'good' transhumanism is already posthumanism. and we need convergence, especially on behalf of those developing technologies.
@ikrupp glad it was helpful! I think I learned it from one of the alt-h crew's writings a few years back.

oh yeah @neauoire is really cool, Orca is like my paradigm for a perfect embodied/live coding language. it is more specialized for music sequencing but really got me thinking about the problem of interface design in live coding. https://100r.co/site/orca.html
other live coding environments e.g. ChucK are *much* more like conventional C-style programming languages. this is a step ahead.
Orion Scribner ΘΔ@GrayGhost *nods* I saw your earlier post about those concerns. "Three moves are as good as a fire," as they say: each time you move to a new place, you lose things, and you lose touch with people. I like your ideas for how to make that process smoother. With what's happening to Twitter, those ideas could be very valuable. I wonder what we can do-- and who we need to work with for help-- to make those ideas a reality?
