Anyways. I think the multiverse metaphor is spot on.

While he namechecks "Everything Everywhere All at Once" he misses the strongest "multiversal" fictional reference here which would be Alex Garlands "Devs", in which AI is trained on literal all data in cosmos and devs battle over two algorithms generating a deterministic universe or a multiverse.

Problemization is the precursor to problem solving. You're saying the same thing: it's about identifying problems and conflicts in systems. (Didn't read the article though.)

You can imagine the effect of "consensus-building conversation" on social media and the effect of echo chambers on this alignment of "future brain activity within groups". Social Media is a literal brain activity alignment machine.

This goes beyond simple tasks like sorting shapes. A 2024 study found that "consensus-building conversation aligns future brain activity within groups, with alignment persisting through novel experiences participants did not discuss".
