More TK though heres something rather more meta. > a testament to the value of both competition and cooperation in research. [https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-02829-0 https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-024-02829-0] Thanks to Rao i’m now skeptical of dichotomies as well as direct sums of them. Nevertheless I dont think the social path looks (except superficially) like competition, what you want (individual , or small groups of) scientists to do , is to model other neighboring entities well enough to avoid ret(h)reading the same grooves. Max/min the exploration/resource-usage. “Waste is inevitable. Rivalry (conflict?) is optional” [ To snowclone Thiel, play chess within, play poker without— but i have not concluded where the demarcation is] Here I’m glad you considered angles that I did not. Lets play! (Mainly Orwell, the hypernormie reading of Founder Mode) [2] Collison? Or are confusing irish gingers? There is some subtextual/subconscious overlap with the concept of antiheroism in catholicism —Graham Greene, in particular, maybe Eco,Alasdair MacIntyre (one of your intended audience?), tangentially,.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/After_Virtue#Summary https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/After_Virtue#Summary

[2] Collison? (not to be confused with Collinson) funny, I just learned about Greene's The Power and the Glory courtesy of Minister (as he was then) Hacker; I'll be reminded of HGG next time I'm passing through Vevey.

If Orwell had had any inkling of the Information Research Department the end of his life must've been pretty strange indeed)

      Ahhhh oops Patrick Collison’s a-level comments was orders more salient in my mind (my memory of 1984 is gaping, it was assigned reading and i’d been ever the underperforming loser?) And you had participated in grade-charade gametalk track, seemed opportune for offending our half-clueful local deities, if only in principle (Beit S) (Citations ready if/whenever you need them) https://archive.is/2lqju https://archive.is/2lqju https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Fischer_of_Geneva https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_Fischer_of_Geneva (Cameo by gwern!) I’d better ask you for that Schuetzenberger theorem now, i know about Lascoux-S, maybe you were thinking Chomsky-S, or simply S? EDIT: basic problem with teleology is that its usually not framed as a “search” problem?

        Chomsky-S — sorry I'd missed this one earlier, will continue later. [out moving things about at or near the surface of the earth for the rest of the day...]
