Rigorous Intuition: Let's Pretend Politics

Rigorous Intuition: Let's Pretend Politics: "I find it useful to think of corporations as egregores, i.e group-minds that have a life of their own. A few months back in these comment threads I proposed an idea (that has probably been proposed before) that the whole raison d'etre for corporations is to serve as material vehicles for existing discarnate entities. Prunes' comment -- Etymologically, consider the intransitive verb 'incorporate': to give a body to something that does not have one. -- hints at this. Whether or not it is in fact true is of course subject to debate, but operationally corporations behave as totally immoral and vampiric egregores."

Wherein, musings on the Canadian election give rise to speculations about The Corporation as a metaphysical entity.
