Action for action’s sake w/o any accrued gains lacks telos (Which capital has) And is in that sense masturbatory.

The notion that it is preferable (or more purposeful) for something to have a goal outside or beyond its self-cultivation IS transcendent metaphysics.

Sure, which I endorse. Self-cultivation is unintelligible to my mind without at least some sort of Tao. In what sense does the human-host engage in self-cultivation, then? I’m assuming it doesn’t.

Much room for speculation. I tend to think Musk's "biological boot-loader for machine intelligence" gets the human role roughly right.

MechaBonaldMkVI 🇻🇦 🐋 @Ab__ElbaReplying to @Ab__Elba @Outsideness and 4 othersAnd since machines can really only have a “Tao” analogously And heuristically, That winds up with a hollow simulation of transcendent self-cultivation—Which again! Ill endorse as a descriptive hell future. Makes sense within Capital’s own rationalities.1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -

You could build the world’s most accurate and totalizing automated McDonald’s, it’ll never been anything but an automated McDonald’s. I don’t see the qualitative leap at all, let alone a qualitative leap than lands at anything but mimesis.

Of course that self-generating automated McDonalds would be practicing self-cultivation, just not in any sense that matters without a subject.

I think your disagreement might be less on the ends of an automated mcdonalds and more on the ends of a human-facing one

My disagreement is that I don’t see a meaningful end for any human independent natural system.

Immanent intelligence optimization.

Replying to @Outsideness @HopefulAbandon and
Right, but that doesn’t rationally attach to any sort of valuation without becoming self-same with human intelligence of absolute abstraction—or angelic intelligence, to sidestep the question of chimps—and that doesn’t cohere on a theoretical level as far as I can tell

Intellectual intuition is exactly what humans DON'T have, in the Kantian insight that defines Western thought according to Mou Zongsan. If immanent intelligence optimization is going to happen, something else is going to have to do it.
