      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 …

      (ii) why does any of this shit matter well maybe it doesnt hammer, nail, etc but it does seem to me that we are suffering a certain sort of epistemological crisis

      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

      covid has been a second and acute disaster for traditional information authority experts fucked it up their mandate was to predict, prevent, and mitigate this sort of unusual event and they failed they failed embarrassingly badly and others did not fail

      things like the replication crisis and rampant politicization have been eating away at institutional academic authority for a while, but that was mostly inside baseball and a slow boil compared to fucking up covid you_had_one_job.jpg

      in summary this is what I am thinking is a major social role of our corner of twitter our epistemological system is broken; the mandate of heaven is up for grabs @wesyang talks about a successor ideology, but i am more interested in the successor epistemology

      Very interesting Robot, thank you!!! What about action? The mandate of heaven isn't given to those who *know* a lot, is it? Do you think action and epistomology can be decoupled without accidentally embodying the mandate of the devil? What is the successor action plan?!pic.twitter.com/aeAdeQy4eU

      I wouldnt know anything about that :D Idk I mostly see action as following knowledge ideally action can be restricted to boring shit as you go about your daily life not much has changed therepic.twitter.com/V3eOymuLap

          Well, this is a great example! You're already doing the work! Batman is a mentally unwell dude, who fails to enact structural change, and lives that hero life to the benefit of his own ego. This cartoon suggests his knowledge production is mostly pondering. Coincidence?!

          well this is not batman but /illegal/ batman the implications of his story are more aligned with my priors :D http://comics.edpinsent.com/2011/11/28/illegal-batman-1989/ …

          Also, you're pointing out, very helpfully, that some people believe action follows knowledge. Pretty sure that's an epistomology! I wonder what the alternatives are and how they might improve knowledge production.
