      Consider also @literalbanana on something called Indexicality in one sense, the banana's essay is an attempt to suss out where certain systematic epistemology might actually be useful, and where systems are actually inimical to understandinghttps://twitter.com/literalbanana/status/1222019385834950656?s=20 …

      a lot of what we seem to agonize over, as well, is how to avoid dying of brain worms thinking Clearly about information systems seems necessarily subjective(??), and doing this well is difficult in an environment rife with hostile self-aware entitieshttps://twitter.com/eigenrobot/status/967114911401652225?s=19 …

      looping back to the motivating conversation: it seems to me that we are very much in a sort of epistemological interregnum traditional Knowledge Authorities--universities, media, religion--have lost the mandate of heaven

      i can imagine at least two causes one I talk about here with @collinofzion--this is an old story, but its simply a printing press-to-Reformation analogue universities and media authority relied on distributional barriers, and the Internet broke thosehttps://youtu.be/Gey0RPfR0kQ

      this has been building for a while, and is arguably even older than the internet--look at the proliferation of alternate right media in the 80s, or underground left media in the 60s and 70s the internet and social media in particular blew everything wide open, tho
