Concepts are rooted in experience. Cut the trunk, you're left with branches, reconnecting in thought. Up in the sky, the fabled essence. And above all, the essence of everything — completely empty and detached from experience, some god.
That's pretty good. But why is the essence up in some metaphorical sky? Maybe the emptyness is within the trunk? Might be important further down the line.
Calculations stop, the thought disappears and all you're left with is consciousness, raw experience again.
A bit binary for my taste. Symbolic, conceptual, calculating thought doesn't so easily separate from "raw experience" or "consciousness". How does the unconscious relate to any of this?
Cognitive tension between antagonistic, contradictory approximations [...]
Clarify the difference between antagonism and contradiction.
I dare you.
How CrimethInc of you!
The last possible dictatorship, the dictatorship of art, forces us to create and destroy our own techniques.
Not sure if referencing Jonathan Meese's "dictatorship of art" and juxtaposing it with a "dictatorship of technique" will provide the room you want to explore. Save the art stuff for a different piece.
Ruled by endless possibilities, we're forced to move on.
Sounds kinda cool, but... why? What forces us to move on? Bit of a dead-end, cut it.
The world absolutely other, the dictatorship of art, anarchist society, is a federated operating system of systems.
This is the point where you might wanna move away from the "human thinks like a computer" talk, move into more familiar, more organic territory. The "federated operating system of systems" could very well be a network of authority, a network of domination. Get to the point.
