Life is nothing other than a productivity held back from the absolute transition into a product. The absolute transition into product is death. That which interrupts productivity, therefore, sustains life. | Schelling

Yes, but I think it is also perhaps ideological in a more traditional sense, insofar as this dream functions as a set of ideas (or algorithms) serving to convince us that we are freely doing what we are being coerced to do

We are very excited to share our latest 📄 (@philsci.bsky.social): a revamped version of #nicheconstruction theory that captures the evolutionary consequences of organismic activities beyond changes in selection. We call it the 'Matrix Account' 👇 philsci-archive.pitt.edu/30043/ #evobio #HPS #hpbio
Promotional poster for an academic paper titled “The Matrix Account of Niche Construction” by Grant Ramsey and Alejandro Fábregas-Tejeda. The background features cascading green code on a black field, visually evoking the aesthetic of the film The Matrix. Curved white text at the top left reads, “A Ramsey & Fabregas-Tejeda Production,” while matching curved text at the top right reads, “Appearing Soon in Philosophy of Science.” Centered near the bottom, the stylized Matrix logo appears above the subtitle “Account of,” followed by the large title “Niche Construction” in white serif lettering.
