@linrui@mathstodon.xyz @mdcory@mastodon.social @tao@mathstodon.xyz That's a cool materialist analysis, what is missing is the historical/social part.
So I ask you: How does society change from one algorithm to another? Is it not caused by the development of production?
Also the phrase "reflecting the ambition to micromanage every variable" in the Central Planning section is pretty subjective since the purpose of marxism is Democratic centralism. It is the same solution solved by the brain in the body. Abstraction solves complexity.

@atlas667@mastodon.social @mdcory@mastodon.social @tao@mathstodon.xyz Of course, so we can only look for the next phase transition point. Retreating won't solve the problem. If you choose a heuristic substitute, then you should also understand that abstraction will always leak, and causal power/authority will always converge to its actual executors. A normal brain has only one predictive model/self/personality, and nothing else, because we only have one body that we can control. Marx's basic assumption of materialism is non-materialistic; humans do not exist in a pre-alienated state; alienation is the process of existence itself.
