WYH I'm on a roll don't try to silence me

Thirdform can come call me an "anarkiddy" again but, this is why my political views skew pro-experimentation, starting at local scales and allowing for voluntary adoption by other locales. Because (a) I believe "rationality" is severely limited in its ability to predict and control reality (b) there are not just logistical but ethical rationales for non-coercion as a political principle, (c) variation and selection are literally the fundamental mechanism of survival in this world, so we better play smart.

Stochastic, based on environmental feedback into a genetic envelope, resulting in a differential fabric upon which our logos is post-festum.

Also, let's learn from natural selection—you actually don't want everyone behaving in the exact same "perfect" way. You want variation; without variation there is no selection; a species bottlenecks and dies. Get different sub-populations trying different approaches, seeing what works. Because we're never really sure. Everyone who got vaccinated could keel over in six months of cancer. It's exceedingly unlikely, and I got double-dose Moderna, but you can't fall into human hubris, think you know everything, think you can rationally predict the future. You can't. There's always something you didn't account for. The only way to actually know is testing.

The flattening of everything runs counter to the stated aim of diversity too, reducing hundreds of cultures to simply "people of color", for example.

True every name is issued from a certain gaze, but we do also have to reckon with data capture and expressing qualities in quantifiable and non-tedious ways.

 

[Clinamenic]

If even just as a reaction to to the existing standards of data capture and the influence IoT has on global material reality.

Yeah I agree that these portrait memes should involve proxy characters rather than real personal photographs.

'in natural systems, inefficiency & redundancy are crucial to maintaining resistance & resilience to disturbance. an "efficient," "centralized" system is brittle; even small shocks can cause the whole thing to fail catastrophically'

 

[Clinamenic]

Yeah because fitness is contextual and contexts change. Is that user someone of notoriety and/or import?
