    Friday (theoretical) physics fun: is spacetime discrete or not? Normally we assume space is infinitely divisible just like the real numbers: between two points there will always be at least one more point. It is not obvious this has to be true. Matter turned out to be atoms.

    The exact same arguments can be used to advocate for the prohibition of refined sugar, recreational drugs, gambling, and religion. Is that really the best approach to the problems of society? History seems to say otherwise.

    But at the same time these consumers are adults making voluntary trades, i.e. the free market. I'm deeply skeptical of the proposed solutions involving state-based coercion to correct for public preferences.

    I can see where they're coming from. Almost everybody prefers to pay for online services with their attention rather than subscriptions, and this fact has deep implications for political and commercial influence.

    Another fascinating episode, definitely sobering and somewhat depressing...

    My man was on the excellent podcast to talk about probably my favorite set of topics: contemplative practice, states of consciousness, and how they relate to our activity in the world. Great episode, highly recommended!

    What if transitioning between modernism and metamodernism requires travelling through the postmodern valley in fitness space? I believe calls this stage 4.5.

    let me try to rehabilitate postmodernism using familiar mental models. Imagine modernism (GameA) represents a local maximum in fitness space while metamoderism (GameB) represents a higher point...

    Excellent conversation! It appears there is plenty of opportunities for collaboration between the Metamodernists and the GameB crowd.

    Beyond that self-consciousness becomes necessary to make choices that require a self-model.

    At human level (and probably lower) consciousness would become necessary in the sense that the agent must not only be aware of the environment, but also be aware of being aware and being able to control attention.

    At some level imagination becomes required in the sense of being able to consider counterfactual world states and select actions that would lead to the best one.
