thanks for the Linji quote anon, i will remember to bear this in mind. you are quite right about that. it's really true, i basically have been in full retreat from the ordinary for quite some time but this is indeed counterproductive.

ty also. i think i have had occasional glimpses into what you mean by this, and if they are that thing they are very much worth pursuing indeed.

>The experience of life teaches nothing, just as history teaches nothing. True experience comes from restricting our contract with reality while increasing our analysis of that contact. In this way our sensibility becomes broader and deeper, because everything is in us – all we need to do is look for it and know how to look.
this is really good too anon, exactly the kind of thing i'm trying to get better at. just this kind of attitude. really wonderful.

& just wanted to say i appreciated you coming to join these threads n1x (again!). it's been quite eye-opening, hope you're managing to keep your side projects going and not getting too burned out also. i'm pretty sure that your blackpaper would be a lock to include in an Accelerate Reader 2.0 were one to be released down the road. it's really an accomplishment.

and thank you to you also, Future Peter Thiel, with your Machine Anus logo, for keeping copies of us all in the brain-tanks in which we are only permitted to suspect that we are in, somewhere on sub-basement 44 of the underground vaults, and also for the late-night staff at the Palantir Institute for routinely changing the life-preserving gelatin in our tanks such that we may continue to have these conversations in Experimental Holographic Universe #9842602. hopefully Musk's trip to Mars went well and that those Facebook bots that were talking to each other in 2017 and which now own the majority share are not continuing to fight with the cartel of Amazon drones that replaced Bezos. is Boston Dynamics still around? or did they fly too far, too soon? ah well.

Goodnight Nick
Goodnight Bug
Goodnight DAO jumping over the moon
Goodnight artificial satellites over Guangzhou
And the unsubtly communist Red Balloon
