      as usual (https://twitter.com/zackmdavis/status/1118710087348932609 …), I'm too dumb to properly appreciate the new @gregeganSF novel 1/7 #thebookofallskies

      "Inverse cube law makes that eight times stronger than the solar tides, but these fuckers weigh ten times less"—even the designated-idiot character in the new @gregeganSF novel knows more physics than me 😭☄️ #perihelionsummer

      early Egan (Quarantine/Permutation City/Distress) was accessible to mere philosophers, but much of later Egan (Incandescence/Orthogonal/Dichronauts) actually needs you to be a mathematician 2/7

      (related headcanon: the comps in "3-adica"/"Instantiation" are smarter than normal humans; Sagreda thinks more like Greg Egan than rando normies because averaging over contributors erases flaws in brain structure, similar to how @hsu_steve found mutational load is bad for IQ) 3/7

      This one shouldn't even be that difficult! It's "just" set in multiply-connected space—traversing some paths counter- or clockwise take you to a different Euclidean 3-space. Visualize it like a spiral staircase for convenience, but it's actually flat 4/7 http://gregegan.net/ALLSKIES/01/Gravity.html …

      I'm just—having trouble visualizing what the Hoops are? I'm pretty sure they're supposed to be part of the geometrical structure of space itself, and not, like, a large circle made of wood or something. I can't quite "load" this world in my head. Illustrations would help? 5/7

      Zack M. Davis Retweeted Zack M. Davis

      The Overgap anarcho-communists made me start wishing again for a collaboration with @robinhanson (https://twitter.com/zackmdavis/status/1365534204075806720 …); Egan fans wouldn't accept "It just works" as the answer to an engineering question, but "People just help as needed" is similarly mysterious economics! 6/7

      Zack M. Davis added,

      Zack M. Davis @zackmdavis
      new @gregeganSF story is ... based?? (story-universe does not hew to (unrealistic) "universalist" intelligence-implies-nonselfishness assumption often seemingly validated in other Egan stories, somewhat abating my fanciful wish for a collaboration with @robinhanson)

      Replying to @zackmdavis @robinhanson

      Economics in the long run has a very scienc-y bent in that it's about emergent solutions to problems of scarcity. The problem is that there's a memetic virus that wants to obscure this simple reality so people have trouble understanding simple related concepts due to crimestop.
