Against the Myth of God-Like AGI

The essay critiques the myth of “God-like” AGI promoted by tech oligarchs, arguing that claims of objective, cosmopolitan AI serve to mask the cultural, economic, and political interests embedded in its design. Drawing on neuroscience and the recognition loop, it shows that each culture is defined by unique neural patterns, making genuine universal objectivity impossible for any AGI. The essay calls for radical pluralism, transparency, and democratic oversight, proposing a system of multiple, culturally rooted intelligences instead of a single, dominant authority. Only by exposing biases and enabling contestation can AGI serve humanity rather than deepen existing hierarchies of power.

Can Self-Awareness Change Evolution?

Humanity’s greatest technological feats—from rockets to Mars to global communication networks—have not freed us from the ancient, unconscious drive for recognition that shapes status, competition, and conflict. While the evolution of deep self-awareness allows us to reflect, plan, and innovate, it also enables us to rationalize and amplify our need for approval, often fueling war, anxiety, and overconsumption. Eidoism proposes a new evolutionary step: not just seeing this hidden recognition loop, but actively intervening to control it at both personal and societal levels. If humanity can collectively recognize and master this loop, we may finally shift from being products of blind evolution to conscious agents of our own destiny—changing the rules of survival, cooperation, and meaning itself.

Recognition, Collapse, and Conflict

From the doomed paradise of Calhoun’s mouse utopia to the simmering tensions between Russia and the European Union, this essay traces a hidden force that shapes the fate of societies: the demand for recognition. Drawing on animal behavior, neuroscience, crime, and the cycles of war, it reveals how even in times of abundance, the denial of dignity, status, and belonging can unravel families, fuel violence, and push nations toward conflict. Only by understanding and rebalancing this invisible economy of recognition can we hope to escape the cycles of collapse and war that haunt both history and the present.

The Loop Must Burn

Eidoism offers no status, no glory, no dopamine high. It doesn’t sell success—it dismantles the need for it. That’s why it will be rejected. Especially by the young, whose minds are wired to perform, to be seen, to become. But once the recognition loop collapses—through failure, betrayal, or exhaustion—Eidoism waits. Not as salvation, but as structure. It is not a path to meaning. It is the end of needing one.

Recognition: The Hidden Root of Motivation

Eidoism challenges traditional psychological models by arguing that all human motivation—whether physical, social, or abstract—can be traced back to a fundamental neural mechanism: the demand for recognition and the pursuit of comfort. By examining the brain’s “comfort-uncomfortable” comparator as an abstract neural process, the discussion reveals how both physical and social equilibrium are evaluated and maintained, reshaping our understanding of why we act, adapt, or suffer.
