The S&P500 and CPC are both “superintelligences,” but quite different in their goal seek.

Let’s study the world’s two largest systems in terms of how they aggregate, and direct the efforts of, hundreds of millions of humans into their state-corporate systems.

2. First, what’s a superintelligence? “A superintelligence is a hypothetical agent that possesses intelligence far surpassing that of the most gifted human minds”—Wikipedia. But contrary to this definition, not hypothetical...

3. S&P500: The modern corporation is a legal entity which arranges humans in a hierarchical structure, for the pursuit of a narrow mathematical algorithm—maximize short-term investor return. Google for example, has 135K workers all focused on this goal.

This is it—the core social problem of the Anglosphere this century—there is a deep cultural attitude in the colonies, who still see themselves as superior rulers of the world.

Other civilizations don’t exist, in the mind of the West. Or at least they shouldn’t exist.

All the convoluted reasons given by them for why they hate China, are really just rage that a different civilization still exists.

Yes, the bigotry goes that deep. /2

Check the actual definition of this word, which Westerners often use incorrectly (“racist”). This is the West, in a word...

BIGOTED: having or revealing an obstinate belief in the *superiority* of one’s own opinions and prejudiced *intolerance* of the opinions of others. /3

POST-TRUTH ERA—WHY WEST, NOT EAST?

Q: How is it that America finds itself ripped apart by postmodernism (i.e. subjectivism / post-truth era), yet East Asia remains sanely grounded in reality?

Cc: @SRCHicks @ConceptualJames @jordanbpeterson @BryanVanNorden @StatesWarring

Background: public intellectuals in the West have been addressing postmodernism (Stephen Hicks, Jordan Peterson, James Lindsay, etc), yet they find themselves going over the same tired old philosophic ground and not really getting to root cause. /2

Apparently it hasn’t yet occurred to them that Western thinking might not be able to solve this Western problem, if it was that thinking itself which created the problem. 💡/3

The #Anglosphere, in the 21st century.

It all goes back to the British Empire. It set up colonies, it set global markets rules, and it assumed itself king of this system forever. But...

...now Anglo exceptionalism faces an existential crisis.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anglosphe…

Think about it, the UK set up these colonies. But any colony in Asia (e.g. Australia) is dependent on Asia, period.

There's no way around geography. Australia is in China's orbit. But how can the white-culture superiority complex ever psychologically deal with dependency? /2

Think about it some more, the US set up this financial & trade system. But whatever country becomes the biggest economy, all other countries are dependent on it.

But how can the while-culture superiority complex deal with a yellow-culture taking over THEIR "free market"? /3

BREAKING THRU THE ILLUSION OF DEMOCRACY
[US: #Democracy or #CorporateDictatorship?]

On the topic of American democracy being fake, let’s try to remove our minds from decades of state/corporate propaganda and think objectively for a moment...

• DIRECT DEMOCRACY: The U.S. is *not* a direct democracy—at the federal level the people do not get a direct vote on the actions of the state. And at the local level, any choices that do appear are quite limited and rigged. 2/18

• REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY: The U.S. is *not* a representative democracy either—the “representatives” are not the people's, they are the representatives of corporations and entrenched state organizations. These institutions have a bigger carrot/stick than voters. 3/18

We need to differentiate between the “communist” Chinese government (which is conservative, pragmatic, realistic)...

...and Western Marxists (which are hyper-progressivist, idealistic, post-reality).

Not the same. Almost opposites? #RectificationOfNames

2/ The Western left/right love to conflate these...

The far left treat China as their holy grail of leftism, while the Breitbart goons decry "leftist China."

But China is NOT the West, and does not map to Western thought (ideologies).

3/ Conservatism, pragmatism, and a deep grounding in reality is foundational to the Chinese thought lineage beginning w/ the Dao De Jing. It then becomes hyper-pragmatic, hundreds of years later, with Han Fei's Legalism.

This contrasts starkly with idealistic Western leftism...
