In the long run, worldviews based on understanding and responding to bizarre edge cases and technicalities will probably lose out to worldviews based on responding to average cases so aggressively that the edge cases and technicalities are obliterated.

it is probably foolish to adapt oneself to what can be made to adapt itself to one we've had a long run of overreach that way, though, and a bit of a correction is due

Human beings are killers of the logic in the ontological. Eventually the world will be one amorphous blob just because that's the easiest thing to represent with a symbol.

shh, stop spoiling the end of Seeing Like a State

I read some sort of philosophy of science article that talked about this, but I can't find it now. Its main contention was about epistemology, but from a chaos magick perspective it's impossible not to view science as an accidental formula for omnicide along these lines.

Ah, I found what I was referencing by way of reference to reference to reference. "The Garden of Forking Paths". Think of it in a @gregeganSF'esque sense, where patterns of consciousness permit pathways of travel across heterogenous ontologies via metaphysics.

The more you constrain epistemology, the more you create dead or inaccessible branches in this sense. The far future is a bunch of scientists alone in a dying world everyone else has already exited.
