I'm a big fan of the movie The Secret Life of Chaos. It shows how both choas and self-organization are an inherent property of the simplest of mathematics. Self-organization seems to go against the general trend towards entropy. Given the new information that with when you factor in Machine Learning, Moore's Law is no longer slowing down but actually accelerating to every 3 months, is it possible that after the human-tech singularity, could the universe consume itself through self-organization as a final singularity?

Similarly if the many-worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics is correct, wouldnt your consciousness always continue to exist in a timeline in which you never die and you would eventually approuch the universe consuming itself version of the singularity? I understand the problem with this last thought is it's not falsifyable which means it's not exactly science. Also considering the fact that I can die in someone else's timeline and they can die in mine means that there's isn't a good way to prove it other than to die in your own timeless at which time disproving it becomes pointless. How long does one need to exist their own timeline before coming convinced something like this could exist? If unified consciousness and other technologies continue to advance isn't there a path forward for this. Reality could roll the dice for every permutation but you always spawn and continue in the permutation that conserves your existence. I feel like Black Mirror Bandersnatch and Rick and Morty touch on these concepts.

I'm interested in hearing your thoughts. Is it crazy but fun philosophical talk or does anyone else share these thoughts?

Hello everyone,

​

anyone knows of a masterclass for self-organizing? I am Junior PM, and since I was never a fan of taking notes, I struggle with taking notes, following up on emails, tasks, and so on and I would like a complex program to follow so I can work better and don't cause stress to myself and my boss.

Do you know of any? English, online.. whatever there is :)

i was at zappos.com when we went to a self-org model using a system called holacracy. i'm a big fan of the concept and proceeded to get questions from many curious observers in my sphere.

there were few people that saw value in the new business model concept, but i was unprepared for the negative reaction from both the left and right.

i'm fairly staunchly on the "more individual freedom" side of things, so i saw the move to self-org (i.e. getting rid of all managers) to be an empowerment of individual freedom, which was why i was for it.

so, those on the left of the political spectrum seemed to mostly be skeptical of the anarchy that would ensue. they generally felt that you couldn't work a system like this because you need top-down control to make a business work. there were, however, a minority on the left that saw the distribution of power/authority to the people as being in line with their values, and therefore embraced the idea.

what surprised me, was that most of the people on the right of the political spectrum dismissed self-org as a socialist movement. the lack of granted hierarchical status was too much like a socialist equality of outcome rather than an equality of opportunity. this, despite self-org systems clearly have compensation differences in outcome, they just couldn't get past the lack of social status that comes with hierarchy. a minority of those on the right saw the individual freedom inherent in a lack of hierarchy as being aligned with their values.

what do ya'll think? is self-org more libertarian or socialist?
