>>2069828He's become an internet meme but if you read Technological Slavery (Industrial Society and Its Future + a bunch of letters/other writings), TK will present something like a "rationalist" argument for Minecraft.
Something like: there exist certain self-propagating systems in the world that, in their interactions with each other, lead to a runaway exploitation game that ends with either death or centralized paperclip maximization.
I say "rationalist" because ISAIF sort of starts with its axioms (historical processes work like this, exploitation games go like this, humanity as we have known it is a value worth conserving, etc etc). It then proceeds to make its arguments based on those axioms such that if you accept the premise everything else follows in a very neat and orderly fashion, and if you do not want to entertain the premise you can kind of just stop reading if you want. If you have a STEMbrain you will likely appreciate this.
If you accept the premise, then you gotta read pic related.
