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 …

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.

That would be correct. It would not be wrong to treat the very coining of the term as a sort of land grab by Wiener. Like a patent troll or something.
