This is my conversational account. For my work follow @ribbonfarm, @breaking_smart, @artofgig. Tweets are 90% vacuous views, apathetically held. Mediocritopian.

    Challenge: You have to develop an algorithm to run your life because you’re about to lose all higher executive function to a strange condition. Sketch out the basic logic you’d implement.

        Embrace your new federated existence; lose your singular and coherent identity; negotiate n^2 treaties/contracts to keep critical inter-part commerce working; re-synthesize singular identity bottom-up?
