The fake news threshold allowing politicians and psychopath power mongers to freely lie has long been surpassed.

Deep fake terrorism is the definition of the new bullshit: progress, meta or deep state [complexity].

Narcissismus is to operate in totalitarian fear dollied up in stoked farce.

As metaphor or analog to behavior, consciousness is an operator bound up with volition and decision.

Brian J. McVeigh

Julian Jaynes controversially argued that consciousness is not biologically innate (nature); rather, it is culturally constructed (nurture). In other words, it is not a consequence of evolution but rather a sociocultural, historical invention that appeared in full form about three millennia ago. Jaynes defined consciousness as: An “analog of what is called the real world. It is built up with a vocabulary or lexical field whose terms are all metaphors or analogs of behavior in the physical world. Its reality is of the same order as mathematics. It allows us to shortcut behavioral processes and arrive at more adequate decisions. Like mathematics, it is an operator rather than a thing or repository. And it is intimately bound up with volition and decision” (Jaynes, The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind, 1976, p. 56).

I am painstakingly trying to read Marc Lange and Judea Pearl for an alternative to the holiness of pathological farce as necessary for system and process (AI cybernetics).

Note the Contents of Brian McVeigh's academic book The Propertied Self. If I ever find a cheap used copy, I will buy it.

The Propertied Self: The Psychology of Economic History

I think I would not get past seeing any propertied self as the error of existence, ontology and epistemology, i.e., the word-denial, nonword-word, whether coming from the left or the right.
