The Principia Cybernetica Project

Here's an amazing site about Principia Cybernetica:

“This project aims to develop a complete and contemporary philosophy or "world-view", based on the principles of evolutionary cybernetics, and supported by collaborative computer technologies…we hold that in our time, the age of information, it is systems science and cybernetics as the general sciences of organization and communication, that can provide the basis for contemporary philosophy. Therefore, this philosophical system is derived from, and further develops, the basic principles of cybernetics."

What the hell is cybernetics? And who really needs this? But the same is true for the ancient Greeks. Who really needed Plato or Aristotle? This is a new age of philosophy, a modern view of how humanity tries to make sense of a world changing faster than ever before. This may not last more than a few years, or months, but it’s good to see smart people continuing the discourse.
