“Uncontrollable”, “impossible”, etc, etc. I get it it. Let go of the politicalization of it. My disagreements are not for lack of understanding, as xenobuddhist suggests, but based on the objection to anything that dampens the capacity of sentience to “intervene” in causal flows

It's not an objection to things THAT dampen. It's an objection that to the suggestion that it *can be* dampened (though clearly one can operate within that space, though the trap of that is that one is only going to fall in deeper)

No. I’m actually more interested in the things that dampen. That any individual sentience is a low grade hum relatively easiler stomped out is without question. We’re idiots, also. I’m opposed to discourses THAT seek to dampen - at the expense of a certain structure of care.

Then dampen it!

You suggest I dampen which/what exactly?

If one can intervene in the flows enough to dampen their cyberpositive propulsion without falling into the circuit that actually reinforces it, then it needs to be demonstrated instead of declared

“Terrorism”, or blowback or black opts teams, or... are clustered intervening agencies affecting outcomes at much larger scales than at which they operate. There are many examples of demonstrated glitches in the machines.

As Brassier implied in a lecture on how @Outsideness understands the machinic production of nature, if we don’t ‘do’ (embrace limited agency as a causal factor, aka ‘condition’) then we simple get ‘done’ (complicity be subsumed/go extinct via runaway processes).
