“In contrast for China, nature means spontaneity, therefore the future is not completely predictable.” —Ilya Prigogine.

Reportedly (could be in the 1980 book? To check later) he also said that the best way to cope with the future is to create it, but he didnt say that you could be thoroughly relaxed about it.

Physicist — its tegmark or weinsteins advsior, again, to verify later..

To buy time:

weirdo -> peripherally oriented

hypernormal -> centroidally oriented

(Neither really observing the states of opposing camp beyond 1st pwn level, though the hypernormal may regard the other hypernormals as memetic rivals [the individuation in the Apolline])

(Those customs inherited by crypto coredevs, hence also Yarvin, by diffusion, ..)

Edit: something reminds me of the threeway struggle between the RI, the klepts, & the Met in Gibson’s trilogy+adaptation, which is not cleanly an indo-aryan division, as the Met is clearly the 3rd estate yet a warrior caste, while the klepts are merchant princes..

This state [rho] is the Gibbs state at infinite temperature, and is in the interior of the convex hull of product states. So, as β tends to zero, ρ will eventually enter the interior of this convex hull, making it separable. This happens at a finite β which depends on system size.

Thanks for application of irony to a thread about iron laws! Led me to the “unnamed” Ping-Pong Lemma, a great counterexample!

Vespasian was, apparently, more inconsistent: https://sci-hub.wf/10.2307/1192680

(Im guessing he was as aware as MAA of the burdens of office)

Hopefully we can return to the formalization of Nietzsche/Greco-Roman ethics/(New) systems of survival soon. State of my art, how to extend Boyd’s Ping-Pong Lemma* to Rao’s SoS (assuming it already works in JJ’s system)

Maybe the eternal Culture War is indeed the Russell one (Banks’ having his Culture win the Mandate of H) . Hey, JAW was concerned too, we are now on the same hunt as the Masters?

Front page activity indicates that cpython is becoming hypernormal ;) (even if GvR as a concept remains a Wojak)

Pace Wigner (at this point he deserves a “talisman” — FMD might agree now), those expanders are indeed unreasonably effective, just like bureaucracies (according to the ever optimistic Kafka). Emergent intelligence in governments and institutions, may not be just a Good Idea? (Abuse of Gandhi/de Maistre, sorry)

> Let me end on a more cheerful note. The miracle of the appropriateness of the language of mathematics for the formulation of the laws of physics is a wonderful gift which we neither understand nor deserve. We should be grateful for it and hope that it will remain valid in future research and that it will extend, for better or for worse, to our pleasure, even though perhaps also to our bafflement, to wide branches of learning.

EDIT: FrankWilhoit has some sayings regarding how, in order to reduce (Clausewitzian?) Friction, we should look at glue (interclique edges?)and not just syntax (cliques/juntas?) like what planners do. (The novelty of the idea seems to me to be in that planners usually dont attend to the strycture of egdes as much)

Just observing that cultural boundaries might be interesting, even if the interiors might not be[0]

Should we close the Rao-Gelman thread then, or are you still working on it?

[0] no time or battery to source out a citation, there was an american (californian?) accusation that the helvetics are only capable of inventing cuckoo clocks

So, an algebraic exercise for me, a geometric one for you, and a quantum for both?

is now 10 years’ in the making..

If you manage to access Hutter, let me know if I already know your public key ;)

where would JJ put linux and python? Guardian? How about Rao? Hypernormal? (I would put linux in Weird-Pros, as I desperately need a concrete example of a survivor in that sector that you can relate to :) cpython goes into hypernormal, of course.. with your blessing it could even go into box Wojack.

(Though, i note en passant its unfashionable to name your son “Apollo” in the angle world)

As for Clapton, something tells me that wouldnt make a good snowclone :)

Now, I don’t know how representative this book is of Murakami’s novelistic style, but I wonder: Is this low-maintenance, attention-deficit prose part of Murakami’s attraction, especially among the young? Do people enjoy reading him for the same reason they persist in listening to music as blandly familiar as Clapton’s? If Martin Amis is engaged in a “war against cliché” — a phrase in danger of becoming a cliché itself — then Murakami, on the evidence of this book, is a serial appeaser. How much does his thigh hurt? “Like crazy.” How do we know the weather is nice? Because — as he tells us (twice) — there’s “not a cloud in the sky.”

But maybe you have not seen Feynman’s letter to Wolfram: https://old.reddit.com/r/Physics/comments/ghmdxb/richard_fey...

Thats an interesting conversation too, as its possible to accuse Feynman of being a narcissist, but it takes effort ;)

EDIT: if i may, your review makes me imagine that one socially virtuous mantra (or vitious countermand?) to meditate upon in mitigation of narcissism could be “loyalty to the Other”

Tangential EDIT: it could also be worth meditating on the wide spread opinions that Ayn Rand (mentioned above) and Nietzsche are both young people’s (mostly young men’s) writers

In itself, the insight is not new. The earliest records, to my knowledge, date back some 2500 years or more... the recognition ATMAN = BRAHMAN (the personal self equals the omnipresent, all-comprehending eternal self) was in Indian thought considered, far from being blasphemous, to represent the quintessence of deepest insight into the happenings of the world. The striving of all the scholars of Vedanta was after having learnt to pronounce with their lips, really assimilate in their minds this grandest of all thoughts. Again, the mystics of many centuries, independently, yet in perfect harmony with each other (somewhat like the particles in an ideal gas) have described, each of them, the unique experience of his or her life in terms that can be condensed in the phrase: DEUS FACTUS SUM (I have become God). To Western ideology, the thought has remained a stranger... in spite of those true lovers who, as they look into each other's eyes, become aware that their thought and their joy are numerically one, not merely similar or identical...
