REDIT4: are you saying.. VIU (/JVD) didn't implement a wider distribution of benefits of growth? Clearly, that didn't suffice (against new foundations, at least?) how about the apply of widerdistrib vs [self]eval of legitimacy (which should be based on wd)
Didn't intend the NCF accent thing to be a red herring. If he wasn't conscious of his own accent shifts in realtime, maybe his ideological oscillations need to be examined?
- 082349872349872 2y agoRe: conscious code switching, I found it highly ironic that I'd once attempted to use part of ...Mockingbird (1960) to illustrate that code switching can be used to make people feel worse ("authority") or better ("community") about themselves, only the discussion got derailed because of a use of the n-word: a use that not only the author but even the character had made deliberately, in order to illustrate exactly that point. [compare total orders and equivalence relations; both are reflexive and transitive...]

- 082349872349872 2y agoComplete lattices, yes. Would you rather discuss chains and anti-chains in complete lattices, or the only-local-Jesus-nut complete partial orders, or how "universality" induces both inequalities and equalities in general partial orders, or...? EDIT [Re: VIU, compare LDB's complaints of betrayal. A school friend once noted that his mother only watched movies about two people who love each other but can't marry because they have the wrong colour dots on their foreheads; after that I couldn't help but notice all the US movies with the same plot, just with implicit, not explicit, dots. Courier is a late soviet wrong-colour-dot movie]
- gsf_emergency 2y agoI don't know, you tell me, with your experience & intuitions about egalitarian autarky :) What does lattice.ch look like? [If patched with a reproducible, consistent public goods management model that decategorifies labor (e.g. type I labor & type II(+) labor becomes incomparable) that would be the real End Of History? -> how would promoting losers to psychopaths fit] Is it that CH has no need for movies, that attracted Graham Greene so? Did he move to CH because the arch-American [Psycho] Kane-Limes-Welles ("expelled from CH academia") denounced that cuckooclockandbrotherlylove blasphemy (in favor of the Hobbesian-Machiavellian one) in the court of the People (and got away with it)

And I do think Quisats Haderach-wise incomparability (as in BNW?) has a good bit to do with it: as in "What Do People Do All Day", « à chacun son truc » is the order of the day. (and for psycopaths, playing the éminence grise* is the done thing — at least among my generation ... according to Android's autocomplete many, or at least some, people here are looking for influencers, but yet I never hear about them from my younger friends and acquaintances) Lagniappe: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orson_Welles#:~:text=Roosevelt%20once%20said,a%20Washington%20project%2c https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orson_Welles#:~:text=Roosevelt... * some less grey, acknowledged as patron or schirmherr, but some can really only be spotted by either SIGINT or by Deep Throat-style forensic accounting.
- gsf_emergency 2y agoMaybe what's needed to focus our debate(?) is to substitute "psychopath" with "healthy imbecile*" :) It could have the side effect of turning you obssessive towards (Jane-Ven?) Jacobs-Rao's weird/hypernormal/riverian trifecta (rather than the psychopath/clueless/loser one) I surmised while wondering how to map those to 守破離/三殺法 (note a passing resemblance to the learning/doing or lion/fox split -- & note further that RTT is written as a healthy (well, naturally!) imbecile) Limes was supposed to be Harry Lime but I guess I wanted to leave the door open for boundaries.. *Like geohot (see his blog), who is one of the certainly pubbutlowsocsepdegfromhere ones who could be called an influencer (imho neither taleb nor gwern [hello there Graham Greene fan!] are imbecilic enough, elon.. close to being imbecilic enough)
