on the one hand -- yes its ~this , on the other ... neti neti . if you've surfed it though you'll never not recognize it
"We were waiting for you to realize that you were never thinking alone"
Here it is - the official, revised, peer-reviewed version of my Platonic Space paper. mdpi.com/2409-9287/11/5/161 Of all the many unpopular positions I’ve taken over the decades - bitter controversies around the origin of left-right asymmetry in embryogenesis, bioelectricity and genetics, diverse intelligence, etc., this one has by far generated the most pushback: serious (grateful for those!) and energetic attempts to move me to other views, pleas to just drop it and not talk about it (for several different reasons), nasty emails and accusations, impacts on reviews of papers that have nothing to do with this, etc. Kind of amazing to me how incendiary this is. What can I say... Our job is to call it as we see it, and right now for me, this is it. Apologies to collaborators and colleagues for any shrapnel! Time will tell if this pans out or not; I've placed my bets. And btw, if you think this stuff is weird and uncomfortable, just wait… There’s much more on the way. The knob turns slowly but as long as the data keep coming, I'm going to say what I think it all means and follow it to the next steps it enables. Buckle up!
and we're still back to this

Imagine the most extreme possible factory: a factory that drives itself, a factory that determines its own objectives and optimizes itself to accomplish them. It is something like a fully automated firm, a company with no people inside, a recursively self-optimizing body that decides what to make, how to make it, and why. How might one build such a thing? What would it mean to steer or govern such a thing?
Marek Poliks, Roberto Alonso Trillo, @tylerjdunn, @hscottdouglas & @thejaymo call this factory a superdark factory, a factory whose insides churn too quickly to comprehend, whose logics branch into tangles too dense to reconstruct, and whose standards of performance are too ephemeral to direct. They believe that it is possible to build such a factory now, with existing tools, should one decide to do so.
