      @St_Rev @Meaningness That insight isn’t illustrated by the smoke, though, in a naive reading. The air swirls too, even with no smoke trail.

      @joXn @Meaningness If I wanted to be super nitpicky I could point out that "smoke" just denotes a visible plume of hot air.

      @joXn @Meaningness And inasmuch as the smoke & hot plume are identical, he is in fact talking abt the turbulent dynamics of the air column.

      @St_Rev @Meaningness Yeah, this is why I thought that the one weakness was the chaos reference, which wasn’t really necessary.

      @St_Rev @Meaningness A friend of mine called this a “catalogy” — a correspondence between two concepts leaving you more confused about both.

      @joXn @St_Rev Phil Agre talked similarly about “suggestivism”—reasoning from vague similarity to purportedly deep connections.

          @St_Rev We collaborated closely in the mid-to late 80s. I didn’t agree with his politics (or anyone else’s).

          @Meaningness @joXn On the one hand, it's almost impossible to extract anything useful from that approach.
