 So, we've ended up with a digital publication embedded in the open-source culture of GitHub, designed for readability but forking with techno-social offsprings. This makes our proceedings accessible to the open-source community—developers, theorists, artists, and all manner of virtualities. Our reasoning? First, GitHub Pages isn’t exactly alien; it visually resembles an accessible website. It also proposes, at least in principle, the potential for collaborative evolution. Aspirational rather than practical? Perhaps. But who knows? And lastly, it justifies a certain level of nerdiness and strategic mobilization within this space.
 
-Our settlement became [**syntheticism.org**](www.syntheticism.org)—a domain name, yes, but also a concept, a contested universal, and perhaps even an ideology. Syntheticism carries a fractured and disputed history: from Kant’s analytic-synthetic judgment and Hegel’s synthesizing dialectic to Spencer’s scientistic optimism. Rejected canonically, it persists methodologically, resurfacing in speculative philosophy, political theory, and science fiction.

 The clearest techno-ideological crystallization of syntheticism may, as [Glen Weyl tweets](https://x.com/glenweyl/status/1477458029742202882) and [theorizes](https://www.radicalxchange.org/media/blog/political-ideologies-for-the-21st-century/), lie in the endgame of *Sid Meier's Civilization VI* as [“Synthetic Technocracy”](https://civilization.fandom.com/wiki/Synthetic_Technocracy_(Civ6)#:~:text=Technocracy%20is%20government%20by%20experts,could%20include%20non%2Dhuman%20agents). A Tier 4 government unlocked in the Information Age, specialist AIs are governing within an extended meritocracy that the game describes as "dispassionate and rational, free of the strife of political parties and factions, as it pursues optimal ends." Weyl, perhaps surprisingly, relates this teleological "end of civilization" to a seemingly disparate pack: Silicon Valley’s [*"Effective Altruists"* and China’s centralized planning programs](https://graymirror.substack.com/p/effective-altruism-and-xi-jinping) are put together with utopian strains of [*“Fully Automated Luxury Communism.”*](https://blog.goodaudience.com/back-from-the-grave-can-ai-resuscitate-karl-marx-f956f330639f). Oscillating between techno-populism, socialist utopia, and algorithmic democracy, Isaac Asimov and Iain M. Banks can meet the neural networks of OpenAI and DeepMind.
