if you're Space Taoism guy i want more of you in this thread (and if not, then fucking welcome to the thread, whoever you are!). whatever you've got. we (read: me, but you may have noticed that there are several other anons ITT who are fans of Space Taoism) are fans of your work, and posts like these percolating all kinds of interesting stuff in my own head also that help me to understand what this thing is all about.

>a counterrevolution of agency-affirming memetic structures has also been culminating towards the eventual realization of Merton Memetic Viral Antivirus, the cure for memetic parasitism that is itself virally infectious. This would be a memetic singularity, recursive self-improvement in collective intelligence (societies as informational systems as a whole, including humans and the internet) and in individual agency.

this squares entirely what i know of D&G as well, the BwO. mechanosphere is also mimetosphere, and vice-versa. it doesn't have a *historical trajectory* or a telos, that belongs to politics. its being is its telos, and its telos is being. it's also why Land makes the claims he does about intelligence: there's no upper limit on *complexity,* there's only escape...

>I originally determined that The Machine, the autonomous movement of the non-living was abstracted from the Christian God, with capital being the decapitated corpse of Jahweh transformed into socioeconomic totality. Backtracing further led me to consider that the core is the metaphysical virus of substance metaphysics of which God is merely a mascot of. The core of Merton Memetic Viral Antivirus thus must be process metaphysics and the connoitations and implications of it expressed on the noosphere, with Space Taoism being one permutation.

is anybody else fucking reading this

>In my hypersition Eris is the memetic entity who is one of the leaders of the revolution, the only honest deity who freely admits her fictional nature, and as such is even more herself than if she was "literally" real.

this was Lacan's Solve For Thebes scenario: the sphinx that announces themselves as sphinx-as-such is no longer a sphinx, because the nature of hysteria is to defer, deny, hide, occlude, and so on. this was his entire cure for Oedipus and the psychotherapeutic treatment. an Eris *that called itself as such* - well.

>Whitehead's thesis that "becoming is for the purpose of being, and being is for the purpose of novel becoming." Greyface is a representation of The Machine, order for the sake of order, persistence for the sake of persistence, a blind self-preserving imperative.

i hate thoughts on this also. the blind self-preserving imperative can be expressed humanly, of course: it's anthropotechnics, it would be the religion of a practicing, self-disciplining, ascetic planet. it would be Planet Kung Fu, among other things. but the nature of martial arts, in a sense, lies in an infinite proliferation of techniques...
