A better model is that those aspects of humanism and civil rights which benefit unrestrained capital are selected to be implemented, while those which impede it are delayed or memory holed. https://twitter.com/nosilverv/status/1473370020847706115

this ideological attractor is a dangerous tendency among the spiritually nihilistic, those who live by fear instead of hope; too many of the brilliant people I know are stuck in this developmental dead end; this degrowth mindset is the seed of the antispiral

I don’t know why, but this reply has really stuck with me. “web3 is promising because I once wasn’t allowed to squat on 1,200 twitter usernames that I planned to flip for profit”. It’s just… so revealing

memes are ephemeral physically-embedded informational patterns we often acquire inadvertently from propaganda engines and can spread to others through speech acts; this does not differ in any real significant way, besides being easier to see. in fact, these are much less virile.

practicality aside, SFCs are fun toys to play with, simple algorithms to drop in anywhere you need a way to define a total ordering on an otherwise-unordered space
they're also quite pretty & a great doodling technique; I've filled many a notebook like so

while originally botanical in nature, these L-systems can be repurposed for general generative purposes, as the rules are quite flexible

a space-filling curve (SFC) is a mathematical object defining a specific way of visiting ~every point in a space; typically fractals w/ a tunable variable called the fractal dimension (FD, or roughness/granularity) which determines the resolution w/ which the space is traversed
this is esp. apparent when the exploited resource is in 2D space; the patterns of outward fractal expansion, density varying w/ resource desirability
the topology of the emergent network can be predicted from a combination of terrain, resource distribution, starting position
if you're one of them just know I don't pay enough attention to you to realize

hyperreality entails the reification of abstractions, which themselves are recursive simulacra, removed from the L0 concept thru an iterative process of self-reference
this state is brought about & accelerated by the growth requirements of corporations, which require a frontier

this exchange is fascinating bc neither side cares about abstract principles; the left about decency or precaution, the right about liberty or the role of morality. they're engaged in a purely political battle, seeking to use the legal system to advocate for object-level goals

a phenomenological interpretation would suggest that during an intentionally-triggered dissociative trance state she reified the Allah egregore as a tulpa, attempted to forcibly terminate it & was mildly traumatized by her inability to do so. don't fuck around w tulpas, kids. https://twitter.com/tszzl/status/1428524898687676416
