I get the sense that "organization" is more or less a euphemism for "corporation" in this post. I understand that the term could have political connotations, but it's hard (for me at least) to easily evaluate an abstract conclusion like "many organizations are of supra-human intelligence and strive actively to enhance their cognitive powers" without trying to generate concrete examples. Imprecise terminology inhibits this.
When you quote lukeprog saying
should the word "corporation" in the first sentence be "[organization]"?
Yes, at least to be consistent with my attempt at de-politicizing the post :) I've corrected it. Thanks.
I wasn't sure what sort of posts were considered acceptable. I'm glad that particular examples have come up in the comments.
Do you think I should use particular examples in future posts? I could.
I think that as a general rule, specific examples and precise language always improve an argument.
