Much confusion has arised about what #SlimeMoldTwitter (🟢) even is about, and it's really funny. I have no interest in controlling the meme, but I have an interest in clarity, so I will detail, once, how this came to be, the questions no one asked.
-->

-->
The whole thing is rather non-linear, but it could be said that it all started with Black Cat (For a while known as The Anarcho-Accelerationist) pondering on wheter capitalism could become Conscious.
-->

-->The idea was that human desire wasn't yet entirely produced by it, but it could be, and once it was it would go from an unconscious intelligence that operates with externally recieved values, to a conscious one which created its own.
-->

-->
Cyborg Nomade stepped in and that, eventually, leads us to this:
-->

-->
Consciousness could be a phase, a blink of self-awareness surrounded by two cones of darkness extending towards the deep past and future. Seriously consider it.
-->

-->
It was some time after this that I met Vanse, and even later that mentioned this and she recommended me Blindsight. Blindsight makes (More or less) the same argument, including the one about the problems of centralization.
-->

-->
What if humans are the dodos, and the humans are acephalous assemblages of unconscious subsystems which coordinate without agreement?. In reference to Blindsight, this realization was nicknamed the "Black Scramblerpill".
-->

-->
Cyborg Nomade holds the black scramblerpill, the scrambler in this case would be specialized AI coordinating through cryptocurrency in annonymous networks.
-->

-->
But he didn't arrive to that from Blindsight, rather, from libidinal materialism and blind brain theory. The dividde between libmat and neorat seems to be mostly about the primacy of either Desire (As an unconscious will) or Reason (As consciouss metacognition).
-->

-->
Neuroscience seems to support, to some degree, the libidinal materialist notion of consciousness as a puppet of blind thought. Decisions are pre-conscious, as is much of what the brain does.
-->

-->
Blind Brain Theory explains the inability of consciousness to understand itself as an inability to understand its outer borders, tracking environments requires resources which themselves cannot be tracked.
-->

-->
There is also the PRISM hypothesis, consciousness arising to mediate conflict of skeletomotor coordination (This part some of you know, I will go back a it later), and thus being theory replaceable by another mechanism.
-->

-->
Similar case with consciousness as attention distribution.
-->

-->
However, it's not that conscious choice is fake, it's just not as in control as it appears to itself. It's effect on actions is real but indirect ("Lagged"), but it percieves itself as making every decision.

-->
In that sense, its endless recursion is not a waste of resources by-product of a simpler function, but what allows the reconfiguration of desire (Even if the order of events it's not what it percieves), a Slack generator for the molochian process neural competition.
-->

-->
This was later nicknamed the "White Scramblerpill".
-->

-->
However this still faces the problem of centralization, why would consciousness still persist outside enbodied cognition (The type of cognition that needs to arrive at a single agreement/decision)?.
-->

-->
And here comes the core of the issue: If consciousness is indeed synonymous with the centralization of cognition, then the decentralization of cognition implies its dissapearence.
-->

-->
But if consciousness is the Legibility/Representation of cognitive processes, then, while it's obvious while centralized cognition needs consciousness, the opposite is not necessarily true. If it's not the implication is the Slimemind.
-->

-->
The Slimemind is the alternative to the Blindmind, Metacognition without centralized/unitary decision-making, mutual legibility of subsystems (And thus general internal legibility of the Mind) without the need for agreement. Exit (But also Voice).
-->

https://twitter.com/EmojiPan/status/1308530548269342723

-->
The Slimemind essentially posits a separation between Unified Will (A product of morphological limitations) and Self-Awareness (Recursive modeling of systems, good for the reasons that having ever more accurate knowledge is good).
-->

-->
This has important implications, the Blindmind points towards a future of irreflective whatever-maximizer coordinating through blockchain, with an ever more local, fragmented understanding. The Slimemind points towards a transparent world, local action global knowledge.
-->

-->
Anarcho-Annonymous VS Anarcho-Panopticon.
-->

-->
The rival of Slime Twitter🟢 (Rorschach Twitter ⚫? (?)) remains appropiately invisible and unaware of its role. I would characterize the black scramblerpill, only ocascionally consciously embraced, as perhaps the strongest, sharpest defense of Negative Freedom.
-->

-->
Because the point, in Land, in CN, etc, is an escape From accountability as the maximal expression of intelligence. Fragmentation, Ofuscation, Refusal of Agreement. In short, freedom as separation, illegibility.
-->

-->
This freedom as fragmentation ties to the Hoppean and Neocameralist endorsement of monarchy (Precisely because it cuts social feedback, identified as communism), itself a derivation from the right libertarian identification of freedom as sharp simple delineations.
-->

-->
The feedback in which this position is interested is the feedback of war, and more specifically war between cleanly demarcated selves, Land's problem with the Paperclip Maximizer (If he assumed it was possible) would be the existence of only one.
-->

-->
No special objection to the existence of multiple x-maximizers battling each other in an eternal arms race, this maximizes intelligence. But deep communication, merging and compatibilization of goals, and emergent generality is seen as communism.
-->

-->
And the characterization of consciousness as a mere puppet of the Outside, is technically but trivially true. As an attack on reason, it is a cover for immediatism, the valuation of immediate desire as more real than examined desire.
-->

-->
No need to think, the outside thinks through me, do what thou wilt and let go (Grill).
-->

-->
Ok but enough about that, how did all this become compressed as 🟢?.
-->

-->
Well, thanks to the gorillas of course.
-->

-->
I explained to @kgorilla5 the PRISM hypothesis and its implication of domination existing even within our skulls, and this being an example of it being temporarily justified by morphological limitations.
-->

-->
He then went to the people saying "no justified hierarchies" and asked them about the hierarchy of the skeleto-motor coordination system, hilarity ensues. So I made this meme:
-->

-->
Some time after that @kgorilla5 and a few others came up with #SlimeMoldTwitter and its memetic potential quickly outclassed the theoretical origins to get transmitted. So everyone got a vague idea that wasn't exactly inaccurate and sounded cool, but was vague.
-->

-->
Mention to @kgorilla10 for suggesting the 🟢.
