This is the series home page for the Graph Minds series, which I’m writing in a sort of working-in-public notebook format. This series explores the phenomenology of large, networked groups of humans, with and without computers in the mix.

A companion series, Mediocre Computing, deals with the frontiers of computing technologies: AI, crypto, robotics, and metaverse.

  1. Graph Minds

  2. Big Graph of MudπŸ”’

  3. Surrender and AssimilationπŸ”’

  4. Anatomy of a Graph Mind

  5. Graph Vitalism πŸ”’

  6. Inner Graph MonologuesπŸ”’

  7. Mutualism

  8. The Anthropic Cheat Code

Prequels: Articles that led up to this line of thought for me. They don’t cleanly fit the overarching framework of this series, but prefigure many of the themes in messy ways. Read if interested, but not necessary for understanding the main series.

  1. Your Passport to the Metabrain (January 2017)

  2. The World is Not Enough People (October 2017)

  3. Against Waldenponding (October, 2018)

  4. Superhistory, not Superintelligence (May, 2021)
