Altenberg 16 and S. Kauffman’s ‘Reinventing the Demonic’
Post from yesterday: Altenberg 16 book
This book sounds interesting, but with all due respect we don’t need an extended synthesis. The whole idea smacks of a tricky compromise to make the establishment look good even as they try to fix their disastrous legacy.
The Altenberg 16 will surely be the same set of schmucks we have seen in abundance defending Darwinism.

After promoting the Altenberg 16 for a year plus the time has come to sink these fools, they don’t have what it takes to produce a theory of evolution. Enough to know that establishment types have finally criticized Darwinian NS theory in public.
That this is not a paradigm shift, but more hype on the way can be seen from the book of one of the group, S. Kaufman’s Reinventing the Sacred: hype over self-organization, an attack on Kant, and a studied confusion of evolutionary and economic ideologies, as per usual.
We need to get clear of bulsshit, not another round of market idiocy playing evolution notes.
