Great thread, this sold me -- bought a copy, look forward to reading it.
@NegarestaniReza, curious what your take is on FEP and related frameworks as models of agency & intelligence. You and I had a bit of a discussion about this a couple months back:https://twitter.com/metadiogenes/status/1232879904519262208?s=19 …ifrit added,
ifrit @metadiogenesThe 1st & 2nd laws of thermodynamics only hold for closed systems. Every system we actually care about is open & exposed to a heat sink: the sun. We can also talk about energy sources more generally, e.g. a battery can induce a thermodynamic potential. https://twitter.com/NegarestaniReza/status/1232834115889704960 …Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 2 likes -

Plenty of this is fine, if speculative, but the narrative that weaves it together rings false. Human society has always depended on forces outside of its control, but something as broad as "the paths we walk as a species" is overdetermined and not reducible to a single process.

Human society in what sense of the human and society? Under material conditions, under historical self-consciousness, under formal definitions what the human or society mean?

Human society as a historical entity, and its historical course, so closest to formal definitions.

Yes, that's Hegel-Marx gradient. But then how to reformulate this question, namely, that of history, according to new sciences given that Marx identified the recognition of history as a fully scientific enterprise?
