These aren't random, toilets vs cameras, and they're not even arbitrary. In neurobiological terms, they're references. Eyes and anuses.

The title of this piece is "Nightmare Fuel" and mods removing it are editing out the central thrust of the article. Please reply here why this was done, thanks.

Or, lore is a dinosaur, and the fractal, chaotic idea of reality becomes clearer by the day in our dystopia. These are clearly toilets vs cameras, or out vs in. Resonant media doesn't have to explain itself. But simpler minds need the

The point is that memes replace stodgy narratives, which are dinosaurs (news, history, novels), with semantic options. You can experience this as meaningless, or in well designed memewarefare, you can sense the density and how/where it

We don't need static, low-res semantics in media anymore, that's how Hollywood is already DOA. Their concern is carefully curating the meaning, when the density range is far too massive out there.

Resolution isn't the point, the semantic confusion is what generates clicks.

No, it's not a narrative at all, it's episodic-mimetic and it's fractal, the pieces can be recombined in other vids. A narrative has bells and whistles like backstory, cause and effect dichotomies.

Spatial computing is not spatial intelligence. Apple fundamentally has missed the boat on topological integrations.

VR cannot be essential to decoding the brain as it deals in topological maps and affinities.

Not exactly. We don't know where optic-flow reactions that integrate senses, emotions, motor systems in the slightest. Study neural reuse or coordination dynamics. Some relationship between the brain and the world that isn't easil

Wisdom is an arbitrary concept. The drive to avoid suffering is built from sensory and affective affinities and networks funnlled into the cog-mapping motor systems. Calling this wisdom is simply a simplistic narrative.

It's a mechanism of intelligence, not consciousness. Intel is built up from path-integration, short-cuts, vicarious trial and error that begins in very tiny local areas and expands to landmark and non-landmark navigation. This switchin

Symbols are archaic, time to replace language with something self-organizing, self-teaching, concatenating and concatenated, ruled by verbs, and defanging nouns and agentic occlusions.

We're already verging on decentralized, and we've been horizontalizing since 1995. If you're not aware of these trends leaving behind models, discarding politics, recognizing the narrative seclusions of economic policy, then

It's an extinction project, growth or sustained growth, you're describing mathematical politics, which is arbitrary. All animals reach a homeostasis/allostasis with the environment. Humans don't require synthetic categor

We're inside the first animal created mass desertification project. Reforestation is nonsense. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1SG8IGOzeF49Pbf8JZ-JWyzPq... We lose 10 million sq miles of forests a year and

There was more likely a series of 2K-4K golden ages diffused across areas globally 5-1K BCE where stagnation wasn't the rule. We've probably yet to even come close to that eden-like experience.

Sustained growth, like "economic science", is an oxymoron. There is no science that correlates the use of arbitrary symbols posed as capital. Risk is risk, a primate bias. Economics is essentially "mathematical politics"

China has already won the game. We developed media and wealth management as invididualistic, they approached the problems institutionally and built infrastructure at the pivotal point renewables became affordable. They made an army of techn

AI is too dumb to succeed. It's built in symbols and statistics predicting tokens based in contexts. This has nothing to do with intelligence or general things like free navigation. Most of it is a write-off, and the things that succee

There are no truths using words, as words are arbitrary, subjective metaphors. Worse we externalize them in arbitrary symbols. What proves decision-making are actions, only actions. Until we modularize a specific form of external signaling,

QAnon is simply a hack of narrative, and though it's crude conspiracy nonsense, it demonstrates a future form where info is non-linear, modular. If we had more complex modules and not this messy symbolically built info, there could be
