IDK much abt the latter's apologia. But, I think both are clowns and I would like something in political-cultural space to have a resolution at this point. Even if my momentary, fight-night side loses, at least something happens instead of just constant collision-less collisions.

Yes, also a resolution! A realized outcome. Toss them both in the Colosseum -- fuck it!

I see what you're saying. There is something interesting there - "recreational resolution" is the reason we read fiction, right? It's resolution within a bounded context. That only gets more and more important as resolution stops being a part of modern life, I think?

Yes. Or, at least, I think -- this is all a very hot take. Maybe I am completely wrong and nothing has changed at all. That our level of substitutable awful always existed and defines social struggle at all points in history identically. But, I think ours *is* very different.

Nobody in history has ever had THIS MUCH information to reconcile. It's one of those situation where a quantitative difference is so big that it becomes a qualitative difference.

Yes. I've been working on an essay or even just notes on that exact idea! Instrumental rationality or whatever demands that you spend cognitive effort finding satisfying answers to unsatisfiable problems where each alteration breaks the whole thing. It's maddening!

100%! And yet we feel like we have to keep trying. Modern intellectual life - really, 20th century intellectual life - is learning to be okay with grounding things relationally and dynamically, and not holding on to the idea of truth.

Yes! And it's why the preferred tactic of people who weaponize this 'cognitive technology' is to insist on infinite debate in a space unbounded by any constraint. Their goal is to overwhelm, and then seize control. Vlad Surkov kind of invented this.

lol oh my god you're in for a treat. He's a Putin adviser. His whole thing is: let the state put material support into every cause, let the state publicly denounce every cause, let the state change its story constantly, etc. Goal is to prevent any kind of public grounding.
