Fascinated with the puzzle that is modern society via hako.systems

One of my weirdest beliefs is that complex entities are literally alive and conscious. 

Companies, cities, AIs, memes. They all have qualia (aka internal conscious experience)

We control them, and also they control us to a higher extent than most ppl believe.
