This is the best metamodernist talk I’ve heard. I really appreciate how you kept it more approachable, I’ve encountered a few overly academic videos…

Ice ages are also called 'evolutionary pumps' in natural sciences - by being forced to take refugee in comparable small habitable areas, while adapting to these, and re-spreading when the ice-age decreases, this 'pump' actually even drives and fosters biodiversity through increasing and altering adaptation/-selection pressures.

I’ve always enjoyed speculating on the stoned ape theory, although an ancestor simulator is also pretty interesting. If technology (at least for us evolved primates) inevitably leads to the singularity maybe we might be on an infinite loop (paper clip maximizer) to find the original source of all universes. Analogous to the Ouroboros in other words. Again, just speculating 🤔

Not sure using the Moloch imagery was really an objective mistake on your part. Just talking about “Nash equilibrium states that leave all participants worse off than before” or something is way less effective than first invoking some conceptual shorthand and _then_ brushing in the nuances. Even Einstein couldn’t just skip directly to the math, he had to use very crudely approximating imagery and stories to gain some kind of an intuition first. There are downsides of course (mainly that the shorthand tend to stay alive way too long after you’ve painted over them with a more detailed picture), but I think it’s necessary.

kzitem.info/news/bejne/qW97z5qucZl8q44m32s I am not certain if this is a disagreement or not. But I firmly believe to "think at the next level of abstraction" you must first give concise definitions to the current level of abstraction you are on. So, you can use things that are NOT DEFINED , but you cannot graduate to the next level of abstraction until you define them.

I agree with your first point, but the second one is nonsense, because it is like saying : People cannot graduate to the second grad if they didn't define the first and second grade.

@@3quark I was thinking of it more like : You can't move onto algebra until you first learn what numbers are . Numbers are an abstraction. And algebra thus is an abstraction on top of an abstraction . I guess the question is , can you learn algebra without ever giving names to the numbers you use ? I assume with you example you are saying that there is a distinction to be made between : A. Naming Something B. Defining Something

1:02:53 As a professional artist, ML is causing active harm to my life and well being. In isolation something like mid journey and stable diffusion would be a really cool technology, but we live in a world where you have to make money to exist. ML is being actively used by corporations to cut the people out of creative processes. Where creative process is something that gives meaning to a lot of peoples lives, and it is how a lot of people make a living. Generative “AI”existing is actively making my life worse and I am far from the only one. I also think the output is worse and missing the subtly, “soul”, experience, and cognition you get from man made creative works. I really loved your analysis and explanation of meta modernism otherwise, but you kind of lost me here. Generative ai is a blight on human creativity and happiness. I see you use ai a lot on your channel and it shows. It is very ignorant to real human cost that something like that has. It is a shame, because otherwise I think your ideas and work is great and something more people should understand and study.

This video becomes inconsistent when we say, I'm fully on board with Decolonization but " in moderation" when we say unions are good but they can disrupt daily life and that's bad, the reality of the situation is we live in a time where colonization is still actively happening, and the standards of work and the standards of living are rapidly decreasing for the average individual. I speaking from an American perspective. But the point still stands we should not be apathetic in the face of colonialism or late stage capitalism. A moderate approach is literally just political apathy with extra steps. Either listen to the people who support these movements, or don't, please do not white wash them we've seen enough of that . P.s. Do continue to talk about MetaModerenism super interesting discussions to be had.

A little addition, Communism has actually existed. If Humans have been around for 300k years. Anthropologists believe that for the first 288k~ years or so before the invention of agriculture and stored resources, Humans lived in immediate return hunter gatherer or forager societies. Which were highly egalitarian. This type of society is what Karl Marx called primitive communism. With the lack of stored resources and land/property ownership there was no mechanism with which to dominate other people or force them to do what you want, hence the very high levels of equality and personal freedom. So actually Humans have lived most of their existence as a species in what would be communist societies.

And perhaps human's final destination is an abundance of resources, which also would remove the mechanism of domination, this would also be communist, an abundance communism. As I believe Dave has talked about before.

@@Systems.Thinking Straight from the horse's mouth, Marx himself described it as Communism. It could also be described as Anarchism. I suppose you could also call it Communalism but I couldn't find a definition that matched. Maybe you can point me to one. It does make sense to me that a Communal society would be the same though. But for me, all three of these terms could be used to describe how Humans have lived for most of their history. Key thing being a lack of opportunity/mechanism to exploit others, at least through economic means.
