Hey there, people who've followed me recently! I only know a handful of you (and then mostly from your blogs). If I don't know you, tell me something about yourself! How did you find me? What sorts of things do you care about? *cough* uhh, watcha following me for?

This is a classic, and really highlights why I love MMA as an example of what happens when closed systems collide in a more-open meta-arena, of sorts. MMA is still a closed system, but one born from the interface of a bunch of very rigid systems.

Right! You know the Rickson Gracie documentary covering his Vale Tudo (precursor to MMA) tournaments in Japan? It’s called ‘Choke.’ Although it’s a personal portrait, it’s also about systems forming people (& RG being, in some sense meta, or product of a mélange).

No, but that sounds great, and also like something in the small Venn diagram overlap of 'media my partner will like' (action movies, martial arts) and 'media I will like' (philosophy, metarationality), which makes me even more want to watch it.

Persevere with the beginning, it takes a little while to get into & appreciate, I think.
