when i was four i jammed a bunch of toy figurines in a tape deck and said: “they play!” It remains my proudest moment.

as much as lawmakers tend to let us down on things like this, we do have an existing apparatus to deal with intellectual property theft — one of my few hopes for improvement in the next decade is for massive landmark legal cases to squash these culture-vultures

Replying to @yacobg42
The name of the dataset is called "the Pile." Couldn't make this up. All of culture boiled down into a shapeless gray mass that's forcefed back to us. "The Pile." Eat shit.

as always, fuck anyone who’s trying to shape the future of culture into interchangable resaleable slurry rather than a shape which values individual culture-creators’ ability to eat

There's a reason every scientist you know is like: I can only speculate and I won't give prescriptive statements beyond my specific field of study. Yet every other economist and MBA you know is like: I did math correct once, I should be given the nuclear codes.

is it too centrist of me to yearn for truth in the reverberating spaces between statements, more dialectic than declarative, less correct than in process

all i ask is that you keep conscious of the currents flowing around you, watch how they are reflected in the eyes of your comrades. we feel this rising tension, the course of years; be available to your conscience.

never gonna stop yelling about pop fiction being a litmus test for national attitudes what’s being made, how it catches on, what analysis reveals about its emotional undercurrents

most recent version of this is how information age -> prevalence of the multiverse, but there’s a trend emerging from the failures of neoliberalism “phew we were able to restore order because the pantheon is on our side” -> “what could we make if the pantheon were no more?”

metatext is inside us, we cannot help but be attracted to the objects which transform our anxiety into catharsis, but to bring that into the world asks uncomfy questions of us, so many fight against the idea of media having meaning beyond aesthetics at all, resist “politics”

A quote from a Huffington Post article on protections against dementia: “This is because reading "exerts its most powerful effect on memory," both episodic and working. He adds, "Fiction is more brain-challenging than non-fiction because it demands your full awareness of the narrative you are currently reading, while at the same time requiring you to hold in mind the situations and characters described earlier in the book." The author referenced a study which found that being immersed in a book was the "magic juice" which improved participants' cognitive ability over those who did word puzzles.”
