Gut: Drink a lot of fucking 💧

☝ Probably the most I learned thanks to the grad-skool! or maybe just during it; Irrelevant.

I also learned to think rationally, to dissect things -- to break apart (to fix later, of course, but not always..), to extract, (ideas,) while reducing the world to the smallest parts that help explain most (and making order of magnitude assumptions, of course, but not without loosing part of the truth).

Maybe what I was taught to do, in essence, was to understand the 🌐 with fewer theories. The more data you reduce to information, the easier you can process other data; And even predict the future the best way possible, thus being able to change it.

Change in which direction though?

We certainly take that as a fundamental question of our studies. (in humanities, I assume). Arguments about morality; Can we tell the right direction of change, even if we synthesize all the data we have access to, to the most elegant theories we can come up with?

Like should I smoke now? Yes! Again? 🍃

Can we rescue science from consciousness?

🙆  Physics is (just) the theory of machines that record information?  (been trying to say f u to science for a minute, and maybe this sticks... take it as seriously as any gen AI ofc) -- perplexity: https://www.perplexity.ai/search/take-the-following-definition-2By0vc6xRVeB46Y4SrKwZg#3  ) 1. What Is a Machine? Science is about experiments and data, and data means measurements we make with machines. So if we are to talk about science, we probably should first understand what we require it to be.. A theory of measurements made with machines... So, let's say that a “machine” is any device, natural or made, that marks the world in a measurable way. It could be a telescope catching light, a computer bit changing from 0 to 1, or your eyes perceiving motion. Each machine records  values , and it does so in a  space and time  grid—call it 3+1D, three dimensions of space, one of time. ​ But the grid is only our way to track things. It doesn’t have to be straight o...

All humans ♟️ deserve ☮︎!

🙏 Dear Charlie, I see many people deeply animated by your passing. Some deeply sad, and some do believe you are with the creator. Or closer to home, at least. So I assume you may understand, and will forgive me, but I wanted to put this into words at least for the sake of the loved ones you left behind, if not to save myself from the wrath of those who do not understand the divine plan, yet! My heart pains when I think about the kids you left behind, who will now have to grow up without the guidance of a loving father.  Instead, they will have to grow up under a shadow of a man. Erected by the most vile parts of our society. As their guiding pillar. (But kids learn the world better than we do, so I have hope that they will find the way ✊) So yes, of course I give a fuck about their plight. And yours too, to be propelled to the forefront, and used immensely, building up so many hopes, only for all those to be taken down in an instance! So I am sorry that I haven't given my fucks ea...

Our Collective Needs,

.. cannot be so far that we burn our world and murder our souls! We know we could live in a better world.. Where we all feel more at home, Our bodies nourished; our hearts loved...  Let us hold our future selves. Hold them in our hearts and let them plant the seeds. Seeds that root, and break us free. From the tricksters that trapped us, Out of a machine that enslaves us.  ... a toxic giant, raging, yet breaking, loosing power, but growing hungrier..! Let us step out, gently, to the chaotic, yet purposeful, From the dark that deceives, into the dawn that guides,  To build a world, whose tomorrow is brighter, Everyday!

"There have never been a Revolution without a starving mass"

Politics that advocate taking power is doomed for failure, and toxic, maybe!   In  Snipers in the kitchen ", @MonederoJC examines the failures of the leftist movements across Central and South America. He talks about how centers of power, which are very much intact after a populist leftist movement takes power, align to undermine and defeat the leftist project. "Snipers" he refers to are these institutions; mass media, the judiciary, police/military, and of course, the market forces -- the capital, and their minions, the traps laid in every corner of the house. The 21st century repeats are only a stone's throw away from where ever one is, from Syriza, Corbyn, Chile to maybe whatever the whole left-progressive thing in the US was ? At the end of the day none of these movements garnered enough momentum to make a dent in the power structures that they fought to defeat. I think we are much deeper in 💩 than just not having powerful popular institutions though (i.e The Ma...
