@sarahdoingthing (huge underappreciated spiritual technology triumph of chinese civilization was to bind all the little gods to heaven) -
@St_Rev How did they accomplish it? -
@sarahdoingthing Extending the cultural triumph of the Han to the spirit world, I think. Enshrined the Yellow Emperor. -
@sarahdoingthing ie answer is supercomplex and probably requires understanding the entire cultural tradition--beyond human grasp -
@sarahdoingthing (Lovecraftian/Landian connection there--the King in Yellow, the Yellow Emperor--egregores are real, unknowable, gigantic) -
@St_Rev I wonder if it makes sense to say they have their own agency - being treated as if you have agency seems to make it kind of true -
@St_Rev in terms of real-world effects, even if you don't technically exist or have a mind separate from human minds -
@sarahdoingthing Chinese room tho. There's the mind of the individual (actually a chaos of submodules) & then there's the network. - 5 more replies
