while we’re talking about his fictionalization, his name isn’t actually Gus, it’s Anthony. “Tony,” if you will.

hey! It's Antonio, to you!

whatever you say, Beefy T.

I like that way of thinking of the legal system, as an algorithm. I guess you can just generalize it to refer to any pre-existing list of instructions to guide you through a novel/particular experience.

@beiser any examples of bureaucratic algorithms being made auditible by the public? A bottom up algocracy?

The key analogy is the way that credit reports work in the US today—the bureaus are allowed to hoover up data in certain categories willy nilly, but they have to allow you to view the data being used to make the decision and contest its accuracy.

here, he's Gus.

capitalism, materialism, reductionism has played itself out. it's failed. modernism has failed. modernity has failed. the rational analysis of matter has led to the revelation of the irrationality of matter. the attempts to create systems of perfect deterministic prediction have led to the revelation of the chaos that haunts all systems and makes all prediction in principle, impossible. everywhere where reason has shone it's light, the greater darkness has been revealed. so, i think, a tunring point has come in the human enterprise. childhood's end is upon us. the conjuring rod of reason turns out to be a fairly weak magic, afterall. and we have to begin to cultivate a sense of mystery, a sense of living without closure.

I like that!

Kids used to grow up wanting to be Terry McKenna, Gus' generation want to be Peter Thiel. Somethings gone wrong!

they’re both working for the feds, what’s the difference?

Brozoid!

 

[john eden]

Nobody wanted to grow up to be Terence McKenna, surely?

If by "kids" you mean unemployed hippies who went to Megatripolis, you might be right.

I don't know what this is, but it sounds kind of like Burning Man only less good.

get yer joss sticks out

Starts with joss sticks. I skip a bit. People dancing in front of a giant inflatable mushroom. Skip a bit. A man is giving a talk about "something in science called the Gaia Hypothesis."

Everyone seems to be having a great time and it makes me feel wistful for fun in general.

looks ok.you have to believe in something

Right now, fun is sitting round a fire at night with thermal leggings and a coat on, caning old records. Wrinkly fun. Stars and the moon out.

Covid has a task on its hands with fire and House records. Then it rains, but a-ha, an angling umbrella and a dosed slice of cheesecake.

You need to fix your feet Into the ground

 

[luka]

If they're not set you will go astray and you know that's true we all know. Plant your feet or you will be lost.
