>figure out the logical structure of the most general categories of existence.
Or instead of creating motionless rocks you could figure out the evolutionary elements of the most general processes of existence.

Drugs aren't enough for a ride this wild. To mindgasm this intensely one needs to learn how to get really high on one's own supply.

One hyperstition I've been infected with is "Merton Memetic Viral Antivirus," referencing Robert K. Merton's concept of self-fulfilling prophecy. The idea that while an association of agency-robbing memetic structures has been emergently conspiring to collectively maintain and accelerate their domination over human minds (even while competing individually with each other for mind-share) 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.

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.

This exerpt from the book "Media Virus!" by Douglas Rushkoff is very interesting reading: https://pastebin.com/4s91qRn6 Merton Memetic Viral Antivirus "The Machine" is represented by Virus 23, and M.M.V.A. by Autonym. This entire genre of fiction I call "Memepunk" and is the current genre of social reality. These are videos made in the Memepunk style: https://vimeo.com/specalblend particularly the Meme Wars trilogy, which cut-and-splice segments of media together to create dream-like surreal narratives.

I also consider Discordianism a variant of M.M.V.A. / Autonym. 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. The core of Discordian philosophy that chaos and order are not opposites but compliment and sustain each other (http://discordia.wikia.com/wiki/Curse_of_Greyface)) is reflected by that nonduality of yin and yang, and 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.
