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?

Thanks! {My take is that some real insights came out of early cybernetics, but mostly when it wasn't differentiated from optimal control or the calculus of variations, & it got coopted into a sort of soft marketing-piece for the humanities -- will review your talk with interest.}

It's not really grokkable without the talk track. And yes, that's kinda what happened. Gleick has a good critical take on Wiener in the opening chapters of 'The Information' which I largely agree with.
