Corporate power in the technology domain is a complex cartography but it is not indecipherable. It takes intelligence and subtlety to address the problem of autonomously self-propagating information systems that have grown too large, too fast and in all of this speed and runaway self-replication represent something of an atavistic return to a state of accelerated reproduction which in cells occurs in (or as) cancer.

No One Owns Truth
There is no “best” idea, there are only “better” ones.

Premonition of Civil War
The underlying momentum of evolving material logics, symmetries and information systems seem already oriented towards incurring dissonance, difference and entropy as an autonomous method through which their own accelerated logical metamorphosis self-propagates.

Human-like Thought in AI?
AI systems approximating human thought? It seems to me that we are quite a long way from comprehensively understanding what human thought actually is, let alone successfully simulating it.

Identity Theft
Identity theft is so rampant now that the oversupply of data makes it quite cheap to purchase.

Only Logic Wins Wars
Only the logic of technology wins war and war is indeed the one place that accelerated technological evolution is guaranteed. All of which leads us to a probable inevitability of conflict, written deeply into nature of information systems and logic.
The great enigma of scientific and technological progress: for every great leap forwards there exists a concurrent potential for even greater (catastrophic) leaps backwards.

The Emptiness
There may be something tragically inevitable in the procedural hollowing-out of social lives in an era of accelerating and technologically-mediated hyper-connectivity.
As the frequency of technological change accelerates, the amplitude and range of uncertainty is concurrently amplified.

Quieting the Ego
Psychological closure or completion of an isolated ego remains a functional, technological and sociological impossibility.

Stealthy Hackers
Cybersecurity is an iterative, recombinatory and open-ended logical process.
The key selection factor for successful pattern self-replication in a transmission medium is the extent to which the information content of that message also (reflexively) supports the propagation of the integrated or gestalt information system represented by the networked transmission medium itself.
