Beyond Materialism: Exploring ...

Building a consonant tritone!?! What an amazing and outlandishy idea!

Comes with nice and comprehensive reminders about sound sensation/perception, as well as concepts of consonance and dissonance.

A treat!

I just thought of an interesting question about this character, among all Agents, we know there are eight but we don't know anything about Agent 5,
so I just thought, "What if Agent 5 was her?"

What do you all think about it ?

Learn the principle, abide by the principle, and dissolve the principle.

Irvin Yalom asked the members of hundreds (or thousands) of #psychotherapy groups to write down their worst secret fear. He said that these fears could almost always be classified as one of two things:

• Fear of being unlovable or unable to love fully
• Fear of not contributing sufficiently to the world around you

He was initially trained as a Freudian1 psychoanalyst, so he called these fears
"Lieben und Arbeiten".

I sometimes think of this as I go through my life: everyone I meet or see, no matter how they present themselves, is probably struggling with (1) a feeling that they are not lovable or they don't know how to love others, and (2) a feeling that they have failed to make a difference in the world around them.

This makes me feel closer to people, even people I don't want to feel close to.

1 Freud was a shitty scientist and his theories were generally very bad. He was, however, an astute observer of human behavior and maybe an okay half-assed philosopher.

gut. das ist nun doch sehr peinlich #FrancoBerardi so gar nicht zu kennen

New article
In this short paper, Vitor Barros provides a guide to Luhmann's style of theory building and guidelines on how to work with him empirically, especially for those interested in social scientific historical investigations.

Every once in a while the stars align and you get to work on a paper that aligns all your interests. For me it was this side project:

Just came across 'My Life as an Artificial Creative Intelligence — an interview with Mark Amerika', founding publisher of electronic book review, by Will Luers. It offers a compelling exploration of the speculative persona of the artist as ACI. Part media theory, part autofiction, it frames AI as 'the prosthesis "I am"', probing the creative limits and possibilities of writing, publishing and programming through digital poetics, glitch aesthetics and remix culture.

If you’re curious about where Creativity (capital C) comes from, or how machine learning intersects with experimental, speculative, and theoretical fictions across the human–nonhuman spectrum, this one’s for you. Published by electronic book review, an Open Humanities Press journal — you can read it here:

There is no such thing as "seo theory vs practice", "seo theory vs reality", "seo theory vs real-world experience". Theory is an attempt to explain the known facts. When you include explanations in your articles or presentations, you're being theoretical. You cannot NOT be theoretical when you explain things.

Scientists:

When you start telling the world it has to fit a theory you've got things the wrong way round.

The world doesn't have to fit a theory. The theory has to fit the world.

Anything else is just alternative dogmatism.
