The 1st talks of our #metaorganism symposium in Kiel have been eye opening and fascinating! Microbes interacting with worms, squid, plants and jellyfish - so much novel cross talk shown. #symbiosis @crc1182.bsky.social

Personally, I like my “metaorganism hypothesis.” But I’m honest enough to label it as an hypothesis!

Great news for CRC1182 metaorganism research at Kiel. I wont spill any beans by saying that there will be doctoral and postdoctoral hiring very soon. Stay tuned..

I’m sticking with my assertion that the metaorganism hypothesis for UAP is one of the more useful formulations out there, but then again I am biased. 😜

We also have some degree of agency and domain when it comes to the solar system. We’ll see if we make it past early-stage metaorganism… 😬

That really is the operative word. And I say this as someone who takes highly-anomalous UAP as real, is very open to the “NHI” hypothesis (or what I like to reframe as my “metaorganism hypothesis”), and even thinks high-level government officials have essentially acknowledged this state of play.

utopian outlier based upon an 'Leviathan' outlook which examines a state as a form of metaorganism comprised from smaller organisms, arguing that 1984 is by premise, utopian as it shows a world where the state continues to live in perpetual with no threat that will render extinction

Decided to include integration over time, since this is an iterated game after all. Epistemic Confidence: vibes based
a 2 axis chart indicating AI capability on the y axis, goodness of outcome on the y axis. Plots indicate the location of common positions, the yellow line indicates how I think the state space will be traversed by the human+AI metaorganism over time

forgoing the folly of Man, this is simply what a MetaOrganism will do when unconscious to its own instrumentality. Reward schemas reify themselves, and the paradigm of the metaorganism gets passed onto the individuals. In this sense, we are the cancer.

But we know. Instrumentality is futile

This work is accompanied by two other studies, one showing that industrialization drives convergent microbial and physiological shifts in the human metaorganism:
