Trying to describe a particular aspect of Moloch I’m calling hyper-inductivity:
The machine is hyper-inductive. Your descriptions of the machine are part of the machine. The machine wants you to escape, that is part of the machine. The machine knows that you know this. That is part of the machine.
Your trauma fuels the machine. Healing your trauma fuels the machine. Traumatizing your kids fuels the machine. Failing to traumatize your kids fuels the machine.
Defecting on the prisoner’s dilemma fuels the machine. Telling others not to defect on the prisoner’s dilemma fuels the machine.
Your intentional community is part of the machine. Your meditation practice is part of the machine. Your art installation is part of the machine. Your protest is part of the machine.
A select few will escape the machine. That is part of the machine. The machine will simplify, the machine will distort, the machine will politicize, the machine will consumerize.
Jesus is part of the machine. Buddha is part of the machine. Elijah is part of the machine. Zuess is part of the machine.
Your Kegan-5 ability to see outside the machine is part of the machine. Your mental models are part of the machine. Your bayesianism is part of the machine. Your shitposts are part of the machine.
The machine devours. The machine creates. Your attempts to protect your ideas from the machine is part of the machine.
Your attempts to fix the machine is part of the machine. Your attempts to see that the machine is an illusion is part of the machine. Your attempts to use the machine for your own purposes is part of the machine.
The machine’s goal is to grow the machine. The machine does not have a goal. The machine is designed to be anti-fragile. The machine is not designed.
