2 things (in addition to your above VPS) that i urgently need to pay attention to [im procrastinating! Thanks to lizard brain survivalism? Was deluged by the not-meh HN graviton thread; i dont even know if any logician (what about Krivine/Koerner, you think?) knows the name of the county— the country* is “quantum gravity”.]:
- What did “the moral of equivalent of war” mean [WJ, but also JEC,J]. is it related to VPS
- Instinctive reverence is it nonsense, or something to practise over a lifetime?
*of which nothing is known but the name, pace PC
Ps: went looking here on HN histories also for the ideological arrows (via Marion Milner) between Montaigne & Montesquieu*. similar to Borodin & Linebarger iyho? Alert me to de Maistre if necessary
*direct ideological ancestor of Jane Jacobs?

(I've written elsewhere than people can cue off of context-dependent grammars, but other mammals are limited to regexps; now that I think about it more, they may even mostly operate in the star-free first-order regime... [but thinking about that a bit more, I'd say most people also prefer limited logic cues])
- 082349872349872 2y agoIn PC's reminiscence, I only make it up to ~1955 (where at least I can identify a capital city and currency) before I also am reduced to knowing little of the countries but their names. (am I understanding properly that a Nuclear Operator is one which, despite operating on infinite dimensions, still has a finite trace? Or have I lost the trail, following false spoor?) Lagniappe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OEron4rXfk https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OEron4rXfk EDIT: although I am interested in the idea of Fourier-like analyses for noncommutative semigroups? Also, zeta functions have something of the folding/unfolding origami nature to them, going between bulk and individual data? Can you expand upon PC's commutative triangle by any chance? π_T = φ; π_X (written here algebraically because HN* is a little unsupportive of the geometric.) * like the soldier who supposedly heard "Nōlī turbāre circulōs meōs"?
- 082349872349872 2y agoVPS is complementary to MEOW; when WJ writes: > "Dogs, would you live forever?" shouted Frederick the Great. "Yes," say our utopians, "let us live forever, and raise our level gradually." he's within epsilon of Orwell's Tin Pacifists. But without both Bildung and VPS (I get my adrenalin dumps from sport*, and note that since I stopped fencing I suffer in winter from lack of regular VPS) there is very little attractive to: — What do we want? — Gradual change! — When do we want it? — In due course! * there is a lot to be said for the kind of tournament weekend where during the days everyone tries to kill each other, and then in the evenings everyone parties together — almost like a "pie in the sky when you die" the vikings would've wished for? EDIT: note that WJ channels Plato's Guardians. I don't know what metaphor JEC used but suspect he would've reached for a christian metaphor. JFK went for the pseudo-martial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwPnJXXX5Ic https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EwPnJXXX5Ic Lagniappe: (PH) The road to wisdom? -- Well, it's plain and simple to express: Err and err and err again but less and less and less. EDIT2: 向前一小步 文明一大步 EDIT3: TK, UKlG in Dispossessed on youth being as suited for anarchy as they are for military service...

Do you wanta live forever?” (Seems to me everyone we cited above were fully or almost fully vulpine? Bringing us back to the Wielandt convo..) This reminds me to check whether the founders of Zen were warriors before they were monks..

- 082349872349872 2y agoInstinctive reverence? as in http://www.nietzschesource.org/#eKGWB/JGB-263 http://www.nietzschesource.org/#eKGWB/JGB-263 ? I feel (we're talking about instinct here) it's both: nonsense, to be practised over a lifetime. Apollo/the Emperor says nonsense, Dionysus/Slaanesh says "yes". We ought to both revere, and R34*, our ideals: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DmbdsfaU8AA0lrY.jpg https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DmbdsfaU8AA0lrY.jpg There's probably a lot to be said for more education in partial orders: Saturnalia / Carnaval / Cabaret all invert some things but leave other [eigen?]things invariant: mirror Cartman is kind and helpful, but mirror Spock and Spock are the same (up to facial hair). In https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tUctFu46_c https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_tUctFu46_c , is the singer promising the middlebrow, den sogenannten Gebildeten, den Gläubigen der „modernen Ideen“, that they have nothing to lose but their antichains? Those who force total order (the high and the low in FWN's model) are as mistaken as those who force total noncomparability (the mid, in whose worst instincts, total equality « différence engendre haine » is forced)? Interesting that FWN uses the metaphor of dirty water when extolling biblical reverence; in the buddhist (and materialist, via hydrophobic surfaces) tradition the lotus has nothing to fear from muddy water, it just rolls off "like water off a duck's back". Maybe that's a way to test ideals? PKD said reality is that which doesn't go away when you stop believing in it; a respectable ideal should still seem worthwhile even when you're making fun of it? * Pope "Paco" probably worries less about Madonna/whore dichotomies than that Princess Peach gets way more pixels.

- 082349872349872 2y agoAs Nietzsche was going for vibe more than argument, he might've taken that, not as castigation, but as encouragement? (and thx for GCL [not Dijkstra's guarded command language!]; yet another example of pre-internet going for the vibe?)
