      Fucking hell. There is so much terrifyingly stupid shit on this site.

      I often wonder if the stupid shit on this site is little more than reifying humanity's variance itself. I also wonder the desire to possess clean, accurate data seems to have invaded society writ large and that's scary. But also I wonder lots of things that are wrong.

      I asked ole @Brett_Fujioka when we had lunch last week if Azuma had ever updated his database concept for the various kinds of databases that have come around lately. Is this a metaphor that can be expanded? What are the consequences.

      My work isn't based on Azuma, but in retrospect it follows a similar trajectory. A huge part (I think) is that people forget how much of what beliefs are *isn't* instrumental, it's for social organization.

          So when twitter (etc) endlessly surfaces sub-cultures, the emergent signaling/differentiating aspect happens a lot more. People are remixing their ideas about different groups and stereotypes while talking about beliefs, but not necessarily with awareness of the former!

          But I wonder about that as there is a path wherein that chaff becomes a portion of organization. This is always the issue though, how do we go from micro to macro? Isn't it?

          Yep. Also, I think that's 99% of debates on here. One person yelling at a micro-level of thinking, the other at a macro, with both giving up and assuming the other person is an idiot.

          Like it's always been my belief that the issues with computation are that the computer stabilized the idea of micro > macro and that we're stuck in a present where we know it is too troublesome yet simultaneously cannot offer an alternative more powerful than what exists now.
