Emergence is not will

 

We march in small circles until a giant appears, then we start taking orders from the giant we just invented. It is the oldest trick of the light: the aggregate pretending to be the architect.

One ought not mistake emergence for will.

The collective "face" has no eyes of its own; it only sees through yours.

When the "Big Thing" starts whispering instructions, remember: it’s just your own voice echoing off the crowd.

Meaning grows from the ground up; it doesn't fall from the clouds down.
