    Humans run on narrative, but the universe runs on numbers. Our challenge is to discard narratives contradicted by numbers.

    I like the subtle progress bar that reading leaves on new books. Paper flights into abstraction & imagination still leave this tiny trail of entropy & grime.

    It lies in the power of art to honor the elusive but real value of ordinary life. Art can do the opposite of glamorizing the unattainable —it can reawaken us to the genuine merit of life as we’re forced to live it. ~ & John Armstrong, Art as Therapy

    Voting is one component of this collective experimentation towards public reasons. Of course, thinking that “the people” are always right is as silly as thinking “the market” always is.

    Liberal democracy is the belief in public reasons (beyond personal & religious): the radical belief that they’re a worthy, possible goal & that society can withstand their search.

    What is consciousness for? For enabling ever higher creativity of course! Once creativity has been exerted, its fruits can be replicated unconsciously. What consciousness buys you is higher level trial & error —converging thought & action across time, space & minds.

    Soon we stumbled on reasons & stories, higher abstractions of great social use —they converge, flexibly, our thinking & actions! We’ve been building up interfaces since: our ever more complex icons & displays we call culture.

    Then came the freeing leap of using strings of sounds to stand for whatever, inside & between us. We used these sonic pixels to digitize our memories, perceptions & imaginings —we chunked’em into reusable symbols, to communicate & think with them, to better keep abstracting on.

    Consciousness is the internal user interface. (Who’s the user? The organism!) It started with sensations, emotions & urges coloring bluntly memories, perception & imaginings. We grew icons for others & since they gave one to us, we higher social animals needed one too: a self.

    garbage is a resource waiting to be reperceived. once upon a time, trillions of earthworms desecrated the virgin stone of a barren earth and trashed it with their garbage--their feces. today we call that garbage soil, earth. and we've named our planet after it.

    Be relevant: pay close attention to the point & talk in relation to it. Talking relevantly with one another, without getting off point, resembles long-time dancing partners, keeping step with one another & the music. ~Mortimer J. Adler, How to speak, how to listen

    I'm no globetrotter, traveller, tourist or pilgrim —I'm the world's owner. Every road was born with the hidden hope, that one day my feet will grace it with their footprints. And I shall walk them all, sooner or later, in this my inspection trip through Earth. ~Tibor Sekelj

    The Turing Test is simply a replication of a mundane test every gay man had to undergo in 1950 Britain: can you pass for a straight man? Yuval Noah Harari, Homo Deus

    This approach, though mindblowing, hasn't yet found its place. It's currently a cookie-cutter model to apply to anything & everything, leading to lame social engineering. Faircoin, with its old-fashioned flawed assemblies, points us as a foil to all that's being sidelined. 2/2

    Playing a song now carries the implicit context of the containing playlist, out of which what will play next will come. I notice this a lot with because I roam like never before & there are so many contexts: playlist, library, radio, search, queue, artist, album...

    I find this list not only inspiring but oddly freeing. It's so easy to fall into a suffocating monoculture in what you value (in yourself & others). Full paper at
