A symbolic way of thinking is to be able to point to a concept before computing it. Inherent laziness allows for coherence, referring to ideas and reasoning before full understanding.

in 1993 a sociologist named bruno latour wrote an essay about an item called the berlin key, subtitled: ‘how to do words with things’ the key is designed so that after unlocking a door or gate and entering, when the key is retrieved from the other side, it has to relock the door

nice clay tablet tallying the contents of your storehouse you got there would be a shame if rats got in and had a huge party and ate everything and your totally correct calculations turned out to not reflect reality at all

I think this is right (@0x49fa98's review of TLP's "Sadly, Porn"). But the question is: why do people *reflexively* fill their consciousness w/ content in the first place? (External content is just cheaper to generate.) And I think *that* can't be solved w/o emptiness.

I've noticed this, too. I call it 'hypergood'. teapawt.net/nouswaves/status/92804…

hypergood: super-red flavourless tomatoes, auto-tune, white veneers, prestige tv, superheroes, etc.

if i have one neat mental trick, it's that metaphors always go both ways & if you want to see the world anew, reverse it. the obvious becomes unfamiliar.

The rules of the game are unfair? Oh ok, then let’s play the meta-game of changing the game. Oh not good at that either? It’s also unfair? Ok let’s play the meta-meta game then. Oh that too? Ok, then…

i think if there is any truth to "twitter is a dating app", it's that we're all saying more than we mean, than we can control. we accidentally see others revealing themselves, and thus can develop crushes, a sort of fall into desire, rather than mere gaze and lust.

Does postrat Twitter have a reading list? A lot of my philosophical consulting clients seem to be coming from there and I'd like to learn more.
