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.

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.

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.

Every attempt to build a fair society—from revolutionary socialism to modern capitalist reforms—has been undone by a deeper, rarely recognized force: the demand for recognition. Rooted in human evolution, this neural drive for status and validation creates new elites and hierarchies, no matter how wealth and power are redistributed. Like the tragic experiments of “mouse utopia,” where abundance led not to harmony but to social collapse, human societies become trapped in cycles of competition, exclusion, and breakdown. The only path to lasting fairness is not another structural reform, but a cultural shift: widespread awareness of the recognition loop and a new way of valuing form, contribution, and humility over endless status-seeking.

This essay proposes a fundamental shift in understanding the roots of human violence. Rather than viewing war, aggression, and conflict as consequences of resource scarcity or ideology alone, it frames the “culture of violence” as the inevitable product of the human brain’s demand for recognition. Drawing on neuroscientific and social theory, it argues that all external risk factors—leadership, propaganda, technology, or economic conditions—are merely modifiers of recognition demand. Through detailed analysis and case studies, including the Ukraine war, the essay reveals how recognition loops, amplified by leaders and cultural narratives, can override even the most advanced cognitive and institutional safeguards, fueling violence on both individual and societal scales.

A striking, surrealistic image captures the divide between two worlds: an exhausted, weathered farmer sits beside a heap of corn, while a pristine businessman in a suit perches next to a pile of dollar bills and gold. Both stare blankly into the camera, emotionless, embodying the silent tension between hard-earned subsistence and material wealth. The hyperreal, dreamlike setting highlights the stark contrast and invites viewers to question the true nature of value and success.

Karl-Theodor zu Guttenberg’s journey from political stardom to scandal and exile, and now to a calculated public return, offers a profound case study in the relentless human demand for recognition. This essay explores how Guttenberg’s hidden ambition to become Federal Chancellor is driven by the inescapable “recognition loop”—a self-reinforcing cycle of social validation and personal identity. Rather than breaking free after his downfall, Guttenberg’s appetite for recognition has only intensified, exemplifying how public figures are often unable, and perhaps unwilling, to exit the loop that defines their sense of worth.

As the cost of humanoid robots drops below critical thresholds, we approach a tipping point where machines can economically replace all forms of human labor—everywhere on earth. The true revolution begins when robots not only perform work, but also autonomously build and repair each other, unleashing a self-replicating wave of automation. This shift, driven by global market pressures, financial instability, and social unrest, will forever change the balance between capital and labor and force society to confront a future beyond traditional work.

Westliche Medien und Politiker verurteilen Russland und China routinemäßig wegen Menschenrechtsverletzungen und autoritärer Praktiken - doch ihre Kritik verfehlt oft ihre Wirkung. Dieser Aufsatz geht der Frage nach, warum: Unter der Oberfläche machen tiefe neurowissenschaftliche Unterschiede in der kulturellen Verdrahtung ein echtes Verständnis und eine wirksame Kritik fast unmöglich. Anhand von Beispielen aus dem Alltagsleben in Russland und China zeigen wir, wie westliche Kritik "nach hinten losgeht", lokale Erkennungsmuster missversteht und die Spaltung verstärkt, anstatt Veränderungen zu fördern. Der Eidoismus bietet eine neue Sichtweise, die zu Demut, Dialog und der Erkenntnis führt, dass nur interne kulturelle Veränderungen einen echten Wandel bewirken können.

Während die klassische Entropie den Abstieg des Universums in die Unordnung beschreibt, offenbart die evolutionäre Entropie ihre verborgene Gegenkraft: den selektiven Zusammenbruch des Chaos in Form. In offenen Systemen, in denen Energie fließt und Selektion stattfindet, bleiben nur Konfigurationen übrig, die Bestand haben und zusammenhalten. Die evolutionäre Entropie ist das wissenschaftliche Rückgrat des Eidoismus - das Gesetz, nach dem die Form überlebt.

Der Mensch ist keine besondere Ausnahme in der Natur, sondern ein fortgeschrittenes Replikationssystem, das der gleichen Logik folgt wie Bakterien, Ameisen oder Viren. Auf jeder Ebene - Moleküle, DNA, Gehirne, Gesellschaften - ist das Leben einfach das Fortbestehen und die Replikation von stabilen Informationsstrukturen. Was wir als Kultur und soziale Komplexität bezeichnen, sind keine höheren evolutionären Errungenschaften, sondern Nebeneffekte unserer neuronalen Plastizität und des Bedürfnisses nach Anerkennung. Die Einzigartigkeit der Menschheit ist eine Illusion, die aus rekursivem Statusstreben entsteht, und kein grundlegender Unterschied im Design.
