the Yankee Candle corporation is actively engaging in ontological engineering to generate a virtual market frontier, willing into being product configuration space; their abstractions trace out the schema of the next battlefield they will face their competitors on
each of these Yankee Candles can be understood as a holograph, a multidimensional capture of some aspect of reality; some are simple in their caching pattern, but the higher up the abstraction stack they go, the more esoteric their mapping from ground is

a holograph is a cache, a recording of an object observed in a specific way. it can be arbitrarily complex, potentially encoding a v large subset of a system's state…

virtuality is the stuff of the hyperreal, the fabric of the higher planes in which simulacra reside; it can be located in relation to real space along the dimension of abstraction
there are many ways to abstract from any given situation, & a corresponding virtual plane for each
accelerating growth necessitates perpetual access to new markets, the discovery of new territory upon which to stake a market share claim
when all known markets have been saturated, what is left but to create new ones?
abstraction begets virtuality

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

my life work is to build an information architecture system capable of representing, with maximal fidelity, the entire causality stack involved in any such event, starting from a data structure capturing leaky multi-level ontologies, with support for epistemic conscience & deltas

don't think I don't see yall not liking that one tweet
if anyone is brave enough to publicly comment, I'd love to know why, even if it entails criticizing me
unfortunately it seems that it's impossible for public discourse to be nuanced today (if it ever even was), so these discussions are relegated to be had on twitter or behind closed doors
the ~left sees any hesitancy as bigotry, the ~right sees caution as degeneracy
alas
this sort of unprincipled tribalist conflict mode is what drove me originally to rationalism and the "gray tribe"; they both have their flaws, but are full of people willing to suspend their base emotions in search of the Truth, to think thru the N-ary consequences of bad policy
can those on the left truly not understand why many would find this repugnant, how their impulse is rooted in concern for children's health and future?
do those on the right not realize how finding something morally abhorrent does not justify preventing others from doing it?
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

Do you know who carried out Hitler's orders? Doctors. Not soldiers. Doctors. That trial led to the creation of the Nuremberg Code, which became the foundation of modern medical ethics which has seemingly been forgotten when it comes to the COVID vaccines.

I really wish more of us would accept that it's ok to base your belief system in a bedrock of unshakable, unquestionable, faith
it's fine, really! the trick is in choosing the right axioms, which is harder than it sounds.

effectively-immutable a priori knowledge precludes one from maximally calibrating to consensus reality, leaving others with the choice to either accept frame control or ostracize

Any sufficiently deep ideological commitment is indistinguishable from evil.
