Most philosophy seems to be centered on one of 2 things: survival or self-actualization. Almost all non-religious philosophy is centered on the latter. Darwinism (as a philosophy) and existentialism are the only major philosophies of survival that I can think of. Any others?
Sure (my professional bg is systems and control theory... so this is not a throwaway opinion... also I wouldn't put Shannon in that set).

Took some drive-by swipes at it in this talk and I've done some passive aggressive muttering about it in various places, but never felt like doing a proper polemic. That sort of thing doesn't energize me enough to do https://www.slideshare.net/vgururao/systems-thinkinga-foxyapproach …

I think there was good stuff in the original essays (never could get through all of the wiener book) and his technical contributions and academic lineage he established in control theory are above reproach. What I don't like is the bs forced intellectual "scene" that emerged
