From a historical lens, the shift from early Cybernetics to Autopoiesis (Maturana & Varela) is key. It moves us from systems being 'controlled' to being 'self-producing'—fundamentally relocating where moral responsibility and agency reside. 🌀✨
Postu gösterSounds awesome! Looking forward to chatting about it!
Postu gösterAnd it might well have been good for the world at large—as most of the 50-years-on discourse is about the aspects of the book that @wiringthebrain.bsky.social @philipcball.bsky.social @nccomfort.bsky.social rightly raise as problematic.
Postu gösterAs a historian, you might appreciate this as a rigorous look at biological autonomy, rather than a return to 'vitalist' magic. Andrea Gambarotto's work with Dialectical Systems is a great start: https://www.dialecticalsystems.eu/contributions/cognition-requires-agency/
Postu gösterThis denial of 'life itself' is where the moral gap opens. If we treat the organism as a mere byproduct of a process, we stop asking what the organism *wants* and start asking how it *functions*. The distance between a biological machine and an agential life is where ethics actually live. 🌀✨
