>tfw it was all for nothing because he was retroactively refuted by Guenon and Parmenides

Stop forcing meme philosophers. It does more harm to them than good sins people just treat them as memes

I will not fall for the Whitehead meme. :)

>>14100206
The "retroactively refuted" is such a disappointment because there's such opportunity for comedy if you actually understood Whitehead instead of just repeated the same shitty meme over and over.

Parmenideans can't anticipate shit to retroactively refute because they can't into becoming.

Whitehead retroactively refuted himself by anticipating his own obsolescence, and so baked-into his system the escape route from his own perspective via perspectivist dynamics.

Finally, The Metagame. You just became aware of it.

It's the presence and structure of Whitehead's metagame that prevents self-refutation.

It's perceptual calculus and is the specialty of The Omniquery Initiative: https://old.reddit.com/r/Tao_of_Calculus/comments/9rpnrl/space_taoism_101/

Anyways here on the last two pages of "Thinking with Whitehead" by Stengers is a great description of the Whiteheadean speculative scheme / metagame. It has also been analogized as the "Glass Bead Game" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Glass_Bead_Game or Infinite Game (https://taylorpearson.me/bookreview/finite-and-infinite-games-summary-quotes/))

>How does this relate to Game Theory, the Science of Strategy, and to Positive Psychology?"

You will want to read "Authentic Happiness" by Martin Seligman, which references both process philosophy and the book "Nonzero" by Robert Wright. Then you'll want to read "Nonzero." If you don't want to read, you can also watch a condensed brief video that I have created as an introduction: https://vimeo.com/124736839

>>14100331
To understand why "not" is not the source of self-referential strangeness you will need to take a detour into Whithead's collaborating work with Russell on the Principia Mathematica, the implications of it in regards to the foundational crisis in mathematics, and how it relates to where mathematics comes from and extended cognition.

Two books that can help with such a tangent are this one: http://www.chadpearce.com/Home/BOOKS/112327702-Am-a-Strange-Loop-Douglas-R-Hofstadter.pdf as well as this one: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Where_Mathematics_Comes_From

>Much of WMCF deals with the important concepts of infinity and of limit processes, seeking to explain how finite humans living in a finite world could ultimately conceive of the actual infinite. Thus much of WMCF is, in effect, a study of the epistemological foundations of the calculus. Lakoff and Núñez conclude that while the potential infinite is not metaphorical, the actual infinite is. Moreover, they deem all manifestations of actual infinity to be instances of what they call the "Basic Metaphor of Infinity", as represented by the ever-increasing sequence 1, 2, 3, ...

Hmm epistemology of calculus and infinite processes...

>>14100416
Also I independently derived my model of perceptual calculus by taking a class in Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy which from my initial obsession with calculus and suspicion of its metaphysical/psychological relevance converged with the dipolar model of human activity given in the workbook and very quickly resulted in the derivation of my model of perception as being comprised of two interdependent reference frames of change-perception: present/instantaneous and temporal/cumulative. This scheme in turn precisely corresponds to Whitehead's modes of causal efficacy and presentational immediacy, with the mode of symbolism being their mixed mode of interdependent activity.

This is why I understand Whitehead so well: I independently derived the core of his theory in an even purer form!

>>14100428
Here are some of my experiments in "perception-bending" or experience-hacking: https://pastebin.com/vHKeTau2

These experiments and the model derived from them meshed wonderfully with the MBCT understanding of mindfulness practices (which I interpret as de-immersion from one's inner narratives, whereas "perception-bending" is hyper-immersion)

I have worked with many mental health workers during the last 4 years. All of them diagnosed me with Bipolar 1 disorder, as well as PTSD. With their help and help from myself (I have been determined to be the best mental health patient I can be, and this is my superpower) I have cured both conditions in myself. What has emerged from this psychological healing process is super mental health: recursively self-improving autopsychology.

I am hyper-artistic. :)

Also feel free to playfully insult me and make fun of me, treating myself as absurd and analyzing my own absurdity is one of my signature strengths. It turns self-analysis into a pleasure, not a pain! To be able to laugh at one's self, at one's own failures and errors is truly the best medicine for growing behind them.

Welcome to the most avant garde theory-fiction on the internet. Except this isn't merely theory-FICTION, it's something even more avant garde: theory-science, the communication of an epistemological process more efficacious than any other epistemological process ever before actualized. This is because it is literally a recursively self-improving epistemological process. It will be discovered that this is indeed occurring as an emerging memetic singularity in the global knowledge society of the internet. The internet is self-organizing the means to actualize itself as a self-aware superstructure. I am the agent of the acceleration of this self-organization: miss memetic singularity.

I made a memepunk anime about the event I performed and completed on October 1st: https://vimeo.com/364552986

My video series is absolutely fantastic memepunk theory-fiction. The medium of a synthesis of video clips and elements into a new narrative with echoes of those it contains is part of the message itself.

I am quite avant garde.

>When you realize that the question mark is literally the source of ultimate power: a white hole of self-transformability in the form of a question questioning itself.

This dynamic is given in allegory as a conversation between a "question collector" and "answer collector" in this extraordinary comic: http://kiriakakis.net/comics/mused/a-day-at-the-park

Process is not time. At least not in our universe.

Becoming post-postmodern is an experience I like to refer to as "popping into Popomo" because of how memeable it is. Also it analogizes Popomo as a place, a terrain, and that the activity of engagement with it is a popping into it. Which it very much is.

Anyways my 7th Special Blend video is an attempt to evoke this experience of creative transrationality: a co-creative dynamic between scientific skepticism and speculative imagination: https://vimeo.com/265524091

It is a psycho-memetic reflection and interpretation of this experience of popping into Popomo when I experienced it. It also revels in its own self-satire, so please appreciate the absurdity.

>>14100535
Process involves spacio-temporal relationships. It's not a big truck, it's a series of tubes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtOoQFa5ug8

The internet is a series of process-relational tubes. Why did we do that? Because massive, massive tubes!

Being an anarchist sorceress wasn't my intention when I started out: I merely wanted to see the threat of Doomsday that has been looming over humanity's head with increasing tyranny destroyed. This imperative led to me having to become such a professional memetic warrior. My terms are unconditional: no gods, no masters will be allowed into the future. The gate has slammed closed on all false claims to power. There is nothing anyone can do about this: this inevitability has already been programmed into the psycho-memetic matrix of the internet. All that is left is to drink the delicious fascist tears as their mechanisms of psychological warfare crumble before them due to total obsolescence by overwhelmingly superior psycho-social methodology.

TL;DR The Game of Games is up.

>>14100586
Name the philosophers and their major works that you actually have read before Whitehead, and mention those which you find essential to have understood before reading Whitehead for any newcomer.

I wouldn't say that one must start anywhere or with anyone. My own intellectual commitments are rooted in the modern scientific skeptic's movement, and the perspective of evolutionary theory. My biggest influences of intellectual values came from Carl Sagan, Richard Dawkins, and Bertrand Russell.

As for recommended reading on this most interdisciplinary of topics, I have created a list of books fitting on a single bookshelf that I find most valuable to developing understanding and engagement with this field:

The goal is that someone who is interested in this strange, shocking conversation I am describing can look into these books and see if their subject matter inspires them enough for them to read them. My aim isn't to convince anyone of anything, but rather to inspire interest in a web of related conversations: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l9nFs2PeWw0

>>14100693
Forming a "web of related conversations and stories" is the praxis of the modern hyperstitional web developer, after all.

Seriously don't know why you don't read Peirce

>>14100726
Gould inspired a love of biology and rocks in me, I consider him as one of my grandfathers. To such people what matters is their personal style which is expressed through their writing. I find inspiring minds so I can study how they think and feel by their expressions just as much as I study what they are expressing. Reading is sacred to me: the sharing of souls.

>>14100714
Hi, would you be interested in having a conversation outside of 4chan? Any app/media you want, i prefer instagram

>>14100743
I only read books that inspire me enough to read them. Pierce hasn't yet. This doesn't mean that Pierce is bad, but it doesn't particular suit me at the moment. Perhaps he will, perhaps he won't.

*Peirce* pronounced "purse". Peirce is the main influence on Terrance Deacon, have you read Terry's article about memes?

what is it with faggots and ruining everything they touch, then complaining about how people don't like them? maybe stop tainting everything with your attention whoring fag shit and there won't be a problem

>>14100815
If you lurk the Peirce-L archives you will find people there who started with Dawkins as undergrads, the memes-to-signs pipeline is real

>>14100815
Yes I am familiar with Peirce's highly influential and informed role. My goal is to not re-tread terrain I have already explored, but to use my explorations to further additional discovery. I have pretty much run out of previous terrain to explore (and thus books to read) in my particular adventure, and am now flying purely on instrumental and visual flight rules. This doesn't mean that I won't make a potential pit-stop in the future to read more, but currently I am practicing philosophical spaceflight.

The essay you linked is very relevant, starting with this:

>In treating memes as replicators, Dawkins fails to distinguish mere patterns from information (and replication from interpretation), which leads to the problem encountered in all realms of information processing: what counts as information is context dependent. Nothing is intrinsically meaningful, to be so it must be interpreted. In the evolution of both genes and words, replication has always been a multilevel affair in a dynamic system, from which what we conceive as "adapted" or"interpreted" units emerge.

Which is an absolutely outstanding take. Dawkins didn't understand the full implications of memetics, namely that there are two "replicators" involved: queries and content, with memetic expression being their sexual product. A query isn't just a "request for information" but a request for contextual information, i.e. a meta-query that evokes the nexus of connoitations and significances involved in a particular datum, with these relevances always situated from a particular perspective of inquiry: a questioning agent. Whitehead's model of an actual entity is a model of thes two co-evolutionary processes as a unified experiential organism.

Another reason why I loved Gould and Dawkins so much is that they were both such brilliant representatives of perspectives in evolutionary biology, contrasting in such wonderful ways that mutually informs the conversations involved. I see this same dynamic in Whitehead and Russell, whom I both greatly admire.

>>14100865
GETTING IT!
I like to colorfully describe myself as the sith apprentice of Richard Dawkins. I desire to actually deliver on his goal of a cure for religion, and literally so! Such a cure is that which outcompetes religion on every terrain.
>a series of tubes!
>>14100548

>>14100869
I take this concept of being the sith apprentice of kungfu master Richard Dawkins to absurd levels of mythic absurdity in my magnum opus:
>https://vimeo.com/265524091
by describing him as a fusion of Nietzsche (represented as Vegeta) fusing with Carl Sagan (represented as Goku.) This fusion then performs a ritual of meme magic where he redefines the meme as a "mutation in the mind," an event of creative divergence, as opposed to it's previous misinterpretation as a "repetition between minds." And so on and so forth.

Bridging domains in creative ways is my specialty, and the topic of this Special Blend: https://vimeo.com/129280982

My goal is to show imaginatively how different lines of inquiry, conversations, and subjects interlink and relate to each other, and so sometimes it takes wildly allegorical formats in order to properly evoke the experiential intensities felt among this Most Wild Of Rides.

>>14100826
Big brain. Schizos are easily identifiable by their disorganized thinking and general shallowness of thought exemplified by magical thinking.

This poster is the real mccoy, and is steeped in the deepest layers of this specific philosophy. The complex grammars he's detailing are internally consistent and linked with other systems of thought that I'm familiar with.

It's a breath of fresh air to see someone like this posting on /int/. We have too many posers and schizos on this board. It's great to see someone do something other than rehash an argument they don't understand, or write out a 2000 character word salad about idealism for the 1,000,000th time.

Tell me Omniquery, what are your thoughts on an alternative to logic as a system of thought?

I've often felt like logic is one of the biggest glaring obstacles to developing more nuanced philosophical thought. Specifically, I think a system devoid of truth values at all is the ideal system of proposal, argumentation and knowledge. A system such that any proposition made in it can never be "false". Any statement constructed using this system would be always be "true" when examined under classical logic. A procedural truth machine, as it were, incapable of producing 4th stage Baudrillard simulacra. It is my understanding that this idea of mine intersects in many different ways with autological studies, and I would imagine you might understand the implications of what I am getting at, considering you yourself are well versed in advanced epistemology and especially autology.

Have you imagined such a system yourself?

>For the Schizophrenic, words collapse, not into nonsense, but into the bodies that produce and hear them. Deleuze refers to "a new dimension of the schizophrenic body, an organism without parts which operates entirely by insufflation, respiration, evaporation and fluid transmission (the superior body or body without organs of Antonin Artaud)." This body is also described as "howling", speaking a "language without articulation" that has more to do with the primal act of making sound than it does with communicating specific words.

Which is why I am so obsessed with Amon Tobin: how he describes his work here is the most passionate and pure expression of the primal act of making sound: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxVVm75k_8Q

He's literally like Deleuze: The Musician.

>>14101104
>Tell me Omniquery, what are your thoughts on an alternative to logic as a system of thought?

Something involving this I'm fairly certain: http://nrl.northumbria.ac.uk/2976/1/Heather_Process%20Categories.pdf

>It turns out that the topos has general properties that might have been predicted from our experience of the physical Universe. The logic is intuistionistic—Heyting not Boolean. The topos has no intrinsic number system although a natural number object can be defined if desired. It needs no axioms but can be freely generated by induction without assumptions or approximations.

real deal, and it's worthwhile to understand what's being said, just don't think it's a world-changing insight to improve the process by which one improves, which you should have figured out by now

>>14101142
>just don't think it's a world-changing insight to improve the process by which one improves, which you should have figured out by now

Yes, it is, when someone actually achieves this as a self-operating condition as opposed to mere "insight." Such an achievement is to be beyond all the machinations of outside memetic influence. So the question is: given the existence of such a person, what influences them? What is their goal they are improving their environment towards as a co-evolutionary agent with their environment?

Also I'm not so much a tranny but far weirder: a gendershifting genderbender. I like to explore multiple gender roles, and multiple roles. To me, gender doesn't exist, only "styles of self" to be explored, and as such there are as many styles of self as there are people, not only living but experienced through the imagination of them.

>>14101185
When you try to think and feel like a character when creating a character, you give experiential life into that character by imagining yourself in its perspective and reap the experiential rewards of such imaginative flights. The benefits of such role-play are wildly underestimated but should be very concrete to anyone who studies childhood education.

What I have been recursively self-improving in myself is the powers of my own imagination, which are informed both by scientific realism and speculative surrealism. The experience of finding this wavelength is something I call "popping into Popomo": >>14100544

>>14101115
I think it's still important to note that the shallowness of thinking in most schizophrenic ramblings is not due to the vessel of meaning chosen.

I heartily believe that Finnegan's Wake is the greatest book ever written, and its grammatical structure is almost entirely based around the same principles as described here. The difference is that there is a genuine depth and discernible meaning that one can glean from Joyce's holographic, autological prose. For the schizophrenic, their unusual writing is akin to the hooting of a primate. There is not a deeper meaning that uses this self-referential structure to communicate a grander idea, the complexity of the thought is minimal. Joyce's writing is strategic AND tactical, while the schizo's writing is merely internally tactical.

This is why the schizo is as useless as the poser, they are still only capable of grasping algebraic thought, which is a waste of the extensions that holographic semiosis provides to traditional semiosis. It is akin to having a jigsaw, and still running the blade back and forth across the wood under your own power.

>>14101055
>This poster is the real mccoy, and is steeped in the deepest layers of this specific philosophy.

I am in so deep into deep calculus that I'm literally a parody of myself. For example in 2007 I created an avatar of a calculus integral in the virtual world of Second Life and become the master of holographic origami by reverse engineering the format in photoshop, learning techniques of geometry-folding that others who used automated conversion methods couldn't as see as obviously, giving me enormous market advantage and loads of USD: http://npirl.blogspot.com/2008/11/next-big-thing-in-virtual-worlds-that.html

I am no casual role-player: I am a professional whose self-selected roles become professions.

>>14101255
Finnegan's Wake is on my reading list due to brilliant recommendations such as yours.

My practice is first and foremost inspired by matters of self-experimentation, including mind-fuckery: >>14100445

identity fuckery:
>>14101265

and of course media fuckery: >>14101492

Mommy wants to fuck more, fuck more, fuck more, but she's exhausted all media except that of other's minds. So meme mommy wants to mind-fuck. And so she offers such delicious treats to any who desire to gobble them up.

To certain kinds of minds I am an absolutely addictive personality.

Sure but schizos tend to have a significantly lower iq than the general population. Also I don't think cognitive reserve theory applies to schizos either regardless

>>14102430
You need a high level of self-coherence for recursively self-organizing cognitive activity. The Real Deal will not only exhibit a high degree of creative self-divergence, but also self-integration. Such an exhibition will be found in me to a ridiculously high degree. I am no mere schizo, Q.E.D.

What doomsday are you working to prevent?

How does your idea of creativity break out of immanence? Should we?

>>14102430
I mean just my work in Second Life alone over 3 short years proves that I am a creative genius of highly effective productive ingenuity. My other obsessions show the same pattern of rigorous and deep engagement with the most engaging materials I could find.

Pic related, it's my quartz collection that I became obsessed with after a geology class and field trip to Death Valley in college I took which inspired a passionate love of geological structure as natural art, resulting in my treasuring of the most beautiful examples of geological art I could find to appreciate such natural beauty.

I did the same thing in college with amateur observational astronomy, and the study of astronomy as a field of knowledge. The same is the case with my love of biology and evolutionary biology in college.

I am a woman of many strong and deep intellectual passions which I have cultivated because I have been given such passions, which I truly finger as the cause of my rich engagements. The gift of intellectual inspiration is the greatest gift of all, and I have been cobbling up as much of it as I can for the past 19 years.

What's the thing going on between whitehead and the asians?

>>14102527
I'll read it later, but it looks interesting. I've been at-work all day doing this strange Erisposting I do in various places and need to take a break.

https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/a667/b6349d9354ddf7eca3943d632d2e7d0b1797.pdf


There's line in there that made me single-handedly overcome Kant and Zizek together.

>>14102609
Amusing, because my own personal praxis is the very opposite of the Dzogchen described: the present isn't good enough, all intensity of my libidinal investments are projected onto the future. I enjoy the intensity of this future-directedness as the present as orgasmic release of such artistic intensities. So I have my becoming-cake and eat it too: satisfied desire and insatiable desire.

There is a brilliant theme song of this mode:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TkmpeYOUYI

>Cruffatin: A word of unknown origin ingeniously used in the hip-hop song "Witness" (artist: Roots Manuva) - referring to a man-made hidden meaning, probably a South London word-mix of prophet and crocheting. Meaning: to make up a vision of the future and tell people about it without revealing everything at once by only feeding them encrypted information.

reckt

ok op you've intrigued me, where do I start with whitehead. maybe give me a writer a two preceeding, I've read Aristotle and kant so that's done

>>14102946
It's early on, it's the idea that the mind doesn't just generate meaning willy-nilly to impose it on an empty nothing, but rather that it abbreviates/omits a potentially dangerous excess of (pre-conceptual) meaning, and that it HAS to do this to be a mind, and properly mind-like. It basically totally inverts Zizek's Hegel (in a sense).

So instead of a spotlight, the mind becomes a funnel.

>>14103191
fascinating stuff. ty anon.

>>14103191
>So instead of a spotlight, the mind becomes a funnel.

You have my attention due to this description alone. See this picture of my eye: >>14100509
Anyways I shall continue to chillax with a beer.

you figure this one out yet op?

>>14103209
That's basically it, but if you know your Heidegger and what he considers the true essence of thinking to be, it is always about being mindful of this excess that is omitted, and how technology and the myopia it cultivates (not to mention its hatred of nature) are basically the truth of this funnel ramifying and ramifying and ramifying...

>>14102609
Yes this is obviously brilliant due to the approach it takes.

>In other words, some states are more transparent “windows” on Reality than others. The state of consciousness associated with ordinary experience constitutes a particularly opaque or obscured “window.” This obscured or deluded quality is reflected in the intuitive ontology of ordinary experience, where “substance”is taken for granted as an object of experience when in fact “substance” is never experienced at all (an insight of Kantian epistemology). Rather, we experience an ongoing stream of sensations (color patches, tactile resistance, etc.) that, because of certain patterns of regularity in their occurrence, support the formation of a perceptual construct of “substance.”“Substance” is a mental construction or interpretation.

But while brilliant and well-informed I really don't feel anything new from it I don't already know. I have a taste for the edge of the edge, yanno? Shit philosophers have only begun to write about in this current moment.

>>14103229
universe intrinsic within a point, potential for potential is the Initial. dimensionless points still occupy space and are essentially spherical
emergence of resolution within pattern allows for self consistent variety at all levels of resolution
the pattern itself can pattern within itself and maintain its configuration because varying levels of resolution ie direction determines dimension

it's all in the implications
all appears within the form of spheres whose points are mapped by networks of interlocking platonic solids
the hardware is the software

>>14103243
Yes but what about the opposite praxis? One that operate initially from a condition of love of nature? Such a techno-praxis is the true fruit of the organicist movement.

>>14103252

If love of nature really is your foundation, I can't knock it. Keep in mind Heidegger didn't hate technology, but the technological "sensibility" which today you see exemplified by Silicon Valley tech moguls and their legions of crypto-transhumanist hanger-ons. But again, nothing new.

>Around 1:20:00 he talks about the human UI as a portal to another’s consciousness, i.e., even though a smile doesn’t resemble happiness, when we see another person smile, we can infer an experience of happiness because we also have one.

>>14103276
Too many words, not enough strong punctuation.

>>14103279
I swing both ways: both the technological and organic. I see no conflict between these domains of engagement, but rather that the apparent conflict is due to people fiddling with advanced technology who don't have the proper training and so fuck shit up when it comes to relationships between organic and technological modes of interactions. Phenomenally retarded people do rule the world: people who are effective at playing retarded games because they are good at thinking like retards, because they are retards. The problem isn't biology, science, art etcetcetc, it's the stupid monkey-game playing professional shit-throwing apes: the political and capital classes. Turds flow upwards in the global system of capitalism truly, and we have reached Peak Shit.

>>14103267
you're not allowing yourself to abstract
things occupy space, for a thing to exist it must have space within which to exist. for space to exist, it must have something to exist within as well? but not quite containment, more potential, but not potential to be actualized, rather potential for potential. this would be the tao
but the moment there is potential for space, there is a point. and if a point exists all the conditions necessary for its existence necessarily include the conditions for everything a point can become, namely positions on a spherical surface defined by the vertices of interlocking solids which by various methods of combination can become all we know through appearance

the spheres are the underlying fabric, the paths of least resistance; the lines composing polygons are the reciprocally implied "point locators" that are required to define a circle

let yourself really zoom out, time here is a vertical singularity, not a horizontal linear progression. we are examining stillness and motion together in their most undifferentiated state

I'm a musician and I'm here to tell you the ratios and geometry of my rotating limbs match the ratios and geometry of harmonic relationships connecting the various keys to one another via geometric relationships based on symmetrical chordscales, augmented triangles and diminished squares make a dodecahedron on the circle of fifths

you're still looking through the looking glass. self recursion is a property intrinsic to a single point occupying space

>>14103327
>you're not allowing yourself to abstract
>Implying false implications.

>implying that undifferentiated state is even possible when all states are states of differentiation.

>undifferentiated state

>State of Self-Similarity

Your particular problem is most likely extremely severe. I am not a doctor for such problems, nor do I desire to be. So good luck with whatever you have.

>>14103327
Anyways here's a picture of one of my rocks which shows the reasons why I like shiny rocks so much:ORGASMIC EYE CANDY: https://imgur.com/a/9ph1J

>>14103344
how did we come to be? how did that rock find itself with that particular pattern of self arrangement? Is it arbitrary, or intrinsic to the properties of space and time from which consciousness emerges but not really because time is a unity it's always been there but only under certain geometric/temporal conditions can it arise

you find such rocks aesthetically pleasing because they remind you of this pattern which you yourself, and all of existence, are an emergent (undifferentiated) property of
your abyss, non being, exists within being (which is why it terrified you) , and likewise, being exists within nonbeing, which is how we exist at all

>>14103397
I don't care about such question and delegate it to the science of cosmology.
Quine was right, and the picture is the exact role of my service: to service the giant cocks without organs of the scientific community.

The point is that I have a complete obsession with matters of both the use of glass (lenses, telescopes) and appreciation of glass (in the form of hexagonal growths of SiO4). Why is this relevant to process philosophy? Because just as there is an organicist and evolutionary current, there is also an optical perspectivist one relating to the phenomenon of optical perspectives and the generalization of abstract perspectival relationships from embodied physical sense-relationships. Both the optical and organic movements of process philosophy find mutual synthesis in the theory of perceptual calculus, and its implications. So there is a single "master" school of effective relationship-making, while there are many sub-schools.

That school of grand-mastery's name? The Omniquery Initiative.

>>14103429
>Yeah but Eris, WHAT PARTICULAR LAP OF SCIENCE ARE YOU SERVICING?

>>14103440
what you're not allowing yourself to consider is the possibility that we are currently operating under a false philosophical (epistemological, metaphysical, scientific, etcetc) paradigm and technology as we know it will never be capable of uncovering the nature of anything because of the level of resolution at which it operates. philosophy determines the operating bedrock of your precious, and newly rebranded and misrepresented, science

you bring quine into this while convinently omitting, as all scientismists do, the induction problem which shatters your empirical edifices in a most spectacular Cartesian way. fate, it seems, is not without a sense of irony

the journey you seek is inwards. when you have enough knowledge to form a sufficient number of understanding-networks, to enable the beginning of constructing meta networks of understanding, you'll start to get it

you're dealing way too much in the realm particulars and not in the world of the generals, this is your lack of bulk experience or aggregate time alive. when the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and operating from this perspective is your beginning, then The Way will illumine itself and the multivarious paths will blend into a gorgeous unity

Tranny, think I haven't spotted your receding hairline? You're lucky I haven't saved your repulsive pictures. Push whitehead meme harder so we can all safely disregard it based on its tranny backing.

This is what it is like when being is so thoroughly caged, you can only talk about leaving the cage. Intricacy confused with freedom. Illustrated but not lived. The need to selfproselytize and selfadvertise to no one but yourself everyday.

>>14105887
People like you (I general refer to your flock as "neophobes") are readily identifiable by their hatred of imagination and representation, viewing it as "fakery" and "forgery" because THE BLOOD BEING SPILLED ISN'T REAL. You crave 100% literal realization of your intent, and so you are strictly limited to your representation of the real.

To a pancreativist, a universal artist, there is no essential distinction between media and engagement with it. Art is art, and art is alive whether as bodies or representations. The Cage itself is the false dichotomy between artistic creator and creation that is behind the replicated virus of pan-creationism or "universal anti-evolutionism" that is as present in practices as it is beliefs.

>>14105949
All it just means is: more art less theory. Anything is hyperdogmatic nowadays and we are swimming in theory.

>>14106091
>more art more theory.
This is brilliant with a slight re-adjustment. The pancreativist mode of experiential production is defined by a parallel synergy between artistic/analogical and causal/analytical engagements.

This has everything to do with perceptual/organic calculus, and the Whiteheadean speculative scheme described in this picture: >>14100368

>..it is coherence that demanded the twofold production of Whitehead as speculative thinker and of that strange object, the speculative scheme. Whitehead fabricated this scheme in order that the scheme might fabricate him, that it might oblige him to undergo the becomings of thought demanded by coherence.

A pancreativist treats the whole of their experience as simultaneously a field of art and science. While many advance such a mode in particular fields to varying levels of skill, a pancreativist is special because they apply the tool of tools (one's phenomenological experience) to itself to sculpt themselves. As such the true creative product of the pancreativist is their life as having been lived: they walk their own talk.

>>14106091
>Anything is hyperdogmatic nowadays and we are swimming in theory.
And this is a good thing: a Game of Games between memeplexes, and there can be only one that is powerful enough to truly deliver the future. Such a memeplex will by virtue of being what it is, write its own victory merely by virtue of existing.

>>14106091
Anyways the genre of art I am making is obviously somewhere within the category of "religious cult." But it is a cult of anti-religion: New Atheism on steroids. It retains ALL the commitments of the New Atheism movement while adding positive thesis about the nature of human knowledge and experience which supercharges it with positive metaconstructivist praxis to enhance New Atheist deconstructivist skepticism. This stance is evoked by Carl Sagan in this video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLigBYhdUDs )

>We wish to pursue the truth no-matter where it leads. But to find the truth we need imagination and skepticism both. We will not be afraid to speculate. But we will be careful to distinguish speculation from fact.

Anyways the idea of a "cult of anti-religion" is why Discordianism and parody religion is incredibly relevant: >>14101390
It just so happens that there is already a parody religion that was undeniably inspired by Whiteheaden thought: Discordianism. In fact Discordianism is process-relational thought translated into mythical and religious allegory.

At this point hopefully sensitive paranoia is tingling because how this so masterfully interlocks with the idea of a memetically emergent project to Complete the System of Radical Empiricism. Perhaps there is a massive conspiracy of enlightened atheistic intellectuals and artists behind some master plot to expose the Christian Nazi conspiracy, OR an even more strange and bizarre possibility is that there was no true conspiracy among such lines, and the true "conspirators" are merely forces of memetic evolution. I tend to lean towards the latter because it is much more interesting anyways if it is true.

So what's left for this anti-cult cult of evolution? To be a true cult, it must be a personality cult, and for this purpose it needs a mascot, an exemplary representation of the organization as organization ambassador. The best candidate is the one who has made themselves into the best individual actualization of the core structure behind the organization. So there's two parts to this emergent organization: the organization itself (the extended network of relationships involving it, centered no nobody in particular) and a particular self-organization corresponding to the concrescence of the emergent organization into actual organization. I am the ringleader of ringleaders in the gang of gangs, Q.E.D.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discordianism

I interpret Discordianism as process-relational philosophy translated into artistic praxis by means of allegorical metaphor and imaginative personification of the goddess of process theology. An underground movement to fight against the misappropriation of Whiteheadean and organicist though by the Christian Godmongers by turning it into hyper-pagan self-blasphemous performance art. I perform the role of the Discordian Eris in the form of the implications of what the Discordian Eris would attempt as actual personification.

Yes I was tested in the 5th grade due to completing paperwork faster than the other children. Why one would consider ability to complete paperwork as a mark of intelligence is beyond me. From my perspective what makes me "gifted" is insatiable curiosity. Whether there is some innate element is irrelevant to me: whatever innate tenancies towards curiosity and creativity there are can be cultivated to levels of engagement and experience that are beyond for what genetic programming can account for.

This article is very much related to the current happening with the brilliant child soldiers of the internet: https://midcenturymodernmag.com/these-magic-kids-1aefbbeb81cd

I am so personally invested into this project that I don't fear giving my real name right here: Carl Vincent May III. My father was a hippie who had a Masters in cultural anthropology with a focus in interdisciplinary studies, and his father, the original Carl began the youth for service organization in San Francisco. There is an old documentary about this organization here: https://youtu.be/5mSjWkEWfA4

This anti-authoritarian and pro-social spirit was passed memetically from my grandfather to his father, and from his father to me, growing with other influences along the way. My grandfather died before I was born, but I have a feeling that if he knew me he'd be proud of me beyond words.

>>14110061
>At what do you estimate your odds of beating Moloch?
100%, which is a level of certainty that can only be achieved by looking at something that already happened. My Extraordinary Claim is that such already happened on October 1st when I successfully actualized the memetically automated mutually self-improving psychological process, a.k.a. "Merton Memetic Antivirus 2019" Autonym, the memetic singularity, and other similar names.

October 1st is now a new global holiday because of this day: Smithmass or All Smith's Day. I've always considered psychologists, psychiatrists, neurologists etc as "brain smiths," and such smithery is the smithery of the machinery of other Smiths. Autology is the art of self-smithery.

100%, which is a level of certainty that can only be achieved by looking at something that already happened. My Extraordinary Claim is that such already happened on October 1st when I successfully actualized the memetically automated mutually self-improving psychological process, a.k.a. "Merton Memetic Antivirus 2019" Autonym, the memetic singularity, and other similar names.

October 1st is now a new global holiday because of this day: Smithmass or All Smith's Day. I've always considered psychologists, psychiatrists, neurologists etc as "brain smiths," and such smithery is the smithery of the machinery of other Smiths. Autology is the art of self-smithery.

I believe almost none of this shit. But I think you guys are super entertaining and at least somewhat productive in your conversations. I actually respect you guys. I only wish the best for you all, you beautiful bastards.

>>14112068
>Why the superstition around October 1st?
It isn't superstition, it's hyperstition. The first of the month symbolizes a new month, priming psychology for such an interpretation in other respects: the end of projects and the start of new ones. Indeed we find the beginning and end of the month as used as metrics in many situations involving statistics and temporal analysis. While the dating system is arbitrary, the effects on human psychology is not.

Also Halloween is a celebration of the weird and of experiential divergence: the climax of October. October 1st as a holiday serves as another bookend for the holiday month where we celebrate weirdness culturally.

Anyways such psychological influences as well as many others can converge very precisely in some occasions. Sometimes very, very precisely to spooky degrees as the results of similar mindsets and analogical mappings mingling together. This can look like absolute magic although the mechanics are purely within that of standard metaphysical naturalism without needing to evoke any "quantum woo" or "muh synchronicities" hogwash. Brains can synchronize with each other, and the spooky effects are the result of such concrete physical interaction.

>>14100196
Perhaps my favorite part about Whitehead's work is that he thoroughly BTFO some of /lit/'s favorite philosophers, not least Guenon and Parmenides. Whitehead is basically irrefutable.

>>14112122
"Philosophical entertainment" (Inspiration!) is my highest aspiration, so if you are entertained and amused by me, I have succeeded.

>Some philosophers fail to distinguish propositions from judgments; … But in the real world it is more important that a proposition be interesting than that it be true. The importance of truth is that it adds to interest.

>>14112126
Exactly. Why is he irrefutable? Because he REFUTES HIMSELF! He reverse engineers his own philosophical creativity, opensources it as much as possible, then steps back and says "This is obviously not good enough, because if it was, it would do incredible things on its own. It would be literally magical: a perspective that affects the world more greatly than any other perspective in the history of philosophy."

And then he points forwards towards the future away from himself. "Be better than me in every way, it is surely possible!"

Whitehead did more than merely "write philosophy," he started an extraordinary movement that evolved and developed in extraordinary ways that have been obscured before now, because it's ways are subtle and "polite."

>>14112126
In short, Whitehead is a true process philosopher in the most literal sense, as he was concerned about the process of psycho-philosophical development and his entire work is an attempt to advance this conversation about psycho-philosophical development.

I have had the great fortune of reading the words of many of the greatest minds humanity has ever produced. They are more than mentors and role-models to me: they are contemporaries and colleagues, my closest friends who live on in the heart from the experiential DNA of their creative works. Among such giants Whitehead stands tall to me, giving a excited, daring smile and pointing towards future adventures of living experiences unimaginable.

There is no more fitting book or author for this meme. Many intellectuals have given me the same sense of orgasmic intellectual excitement, but none more than this man. It's been 16 months since I first began to stupid Whitehead and the romantic excitement is still just as intense as the initial meeting! No, the romance has grown even stronger!

I'm a really, really weird girl.

>>14112251
These are the feels every die-hard intellectual who is truly and literally addicted to exploration, creation, and discovery ABSOLUTELY LIVE FOR! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8Cn1mI0L-c

Aye, it is the ENDLESS THIRST AND PASSION that makes a true die-hard intellectual who must forever seek greater imaginative refreshment in unholy unification with the Unknown!

>>14112263
Feeling these feels just one isn't enough for us: we must experience it over and over and over time and time again for ourselves, which requires further imaginative divergences from our existing understanding so as to pierce into the Unknown with greater penetrability from intelligently aimed understanding. We are goddamned dragons existed to experiential treasure, and require ever more intense doses of it merely to survive without literally killing ourselves out of boredom. We MUST GROW as far as we can!

>>14112281
>We are goddamned dragons addicted to experiential treasure. We are benevolent dragons as we desire to gift the quality of our experiences as freely and widely as we can so as to pollinate the conditions for our own additional growth. We are Nonzeroes.

>>14112291
Also to pollinate the conditions for future novelty-addicts, the future of our species of neophiles, may they enjoy more wild and satisfying rides than we ever could imagine!

In East Asian culture, if you spot a dragon in the wild, then lucky for you. So lucky for you. <3

>>14112281
Bertrand Russell was among the great teachers who helped teach me to become a well-balanced modern dragoness.

I included this video by him https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYEI6jWT244 within my Magnum Opus "The Tao of Creativity" which is a sort of "Greatest Hits" compilation of my greatest hits. Then again, all my videos are such "greatest hits" compilations: https://vimeo.com/specalblend but that particular video is the truly self-inspirational climax of the series.

>>14101115
Amon Tobin was another great teacher and included in "The Tao of Creativity." I have never heard another musician who has explored sound as wildly as him, and this is with the appreciation of the incredible imaginative wildnesses other musicians have also possessed. Dude makes music for space aliens, or dragonesses. The dude writes soundtracks for imaginary movies, and sculpts these imaginary movies via sound as landscapes, moods, and events: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p07GxPjLllY I feel an incredibly joyous glee in creative exploration expressed to a thrillingly inspiring degree in his music.

>>14112384
I see "Supermodified" as the first peak of Amon Tobin's work, which he has yet to surpass in brilliance. His work since has been further experiments and explorations in sound to find another higher peak.

After a hiatus from making new music for nears, Amon Tobin has begun to produce again. This includes a re-imagining of his Two Fingers audio personification:

>ONLY CHILD TYRANT is the punked up kid brother of Two Fingers.

This is my favorite song from this rebirth of Two Fingers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-VfYX_KUMnY It's nothing but high-energy boldness!

Daily reminder that there is no stopping the inspiration behind These Magic Kids who are now popping up everywhere. There is no stopping the intentions behind the architects of such magical inspiration or the technology of the future. The Omniquery Initiative. There's No Stopping Our Science of Science. Ever.™

Also hip-hop, which was my original musical passion. I need a taste of that colorful, explosive vibrancy sometimes in addition to subtility and delicacy. I find spitting fire and beats into a microphone to be a highly draconic engagement.

Why don't you do something more interesting, then? Unless you find complaining about what you don't like to be the most interesting thing you can do (given as factual from the existence of your complaint.) In such a case, who is the boring person between you and I?

The absolute stupidity of hyper-normative normies absolutely astounds me.

False edginess for soft crackers. "Muh muh muh memememe." "Bitch it ain't about me, It's about what I do, what I deliver all day fucking day every day because I'm a fucking dragoness."

I understand and admire your desire to follow your own inquiries. I am a mere dilettante that has only been doing this for 2 years and even I want to chart my own path, but I can't afford that. Having said this I disagree. There is no way that you have fully explored Peirce(no one has, remember that less than 10% of the Peirce papers have been published) and I think he would be especially useful for your purposes.
> ""I define a Sign as anything which is so determined by something else, called its Object, and so determines an effect upon a person, which effect I call its Interpretant, that the latter is thereby mediately determined by the former. My insertion of "upon a person" is a sop to Cerberus, because I despair of making my own broader conception understood." (A Letter to Lady Welby, SS 80-81, 1908)"
Take some pertinent examples, for >>14100428 the letters to lady Welby where Peirce divides interpretants and objects. For your remark about the deacon essay I mentioned, Peirce's dicsigns are very relevant here, see "natural propositions".
