The frequency I *want* to be tuned to feels like it should have mood elements of: X-files Asimov Foundation series Culture novels* Mid 15th century Cthulhu mythos Oceans 23rd century hard scifi IoT Anarchism Post-money * main binge last year that felt on-mood

It’s not people, it’s topics I think. Need to refactor my input categories. I don’t really follow people so much as themes. But the ontology of themes is wrong atm and I can’t think of words to describe what to drop/add. Gotta unfactor and remap the signal territory or something.

considered getting a bot that automatically mutes people if you don’t interact with them? And then maybe un-mutes them for a week to see if you interact with them again?

Oddly enough humor isn’t a big part of the mood frequency. I usually orient around a humor vector. A way to laugh. This feels like a rare drama vector.

Big part is sharp decline in verbal acuity that I think is quarantine related not aging. Like often feeling like I’m searching for words. I think that’s a function of not being around people talking/ambient conversation enough.

Everything I hear now is either intentional (zoom meetings) or scripted (tv, books) or curated (Twitter). I think language atrophies without ambient overhearing of random shit.

It’s a sense of unprocessed uncanny like I’m missing something really big that will suddenly become doh! obvious. Like trying to grok what a thump shriek thump sound is and then Godzilla steps around the corner and you go “of course! it was Godzilla all along.... AAARGH RUN!”

Waiting for Godzillot That’s it. It’s like waiting for the other shoe to drop. Shoe 1: uncanny world-state-dysphoria signals Shoe 2: world comes out identifying as Godzilla world Or Cthulhu. Godzilla feels more neutral.

In hindsight the re-tuning I’ve been doing in the last six months has largely been about dropping map feeds in favor of territory feeds. The latter are a lot less “efficient.” They present phenomenology without compact vocabularies.
