Against the “the modern desire to externalize the mind”, where what is hidden in an individuals mind becomes shared, love your not-knowing. communication is not the ultimate form (sharing a pie with bae is).

The detailed analysis of hardware and code connects to the experience of developers who created software for a platform and users who interacted with and will interact with programs on that platform. Only the serious investigation of computing systems as specific machines can reveal the relationships between these systems and creativity, design, expression, and culture.” - borrowing from Freire’s Pedagogy of the Oppressed, we can understand the current state of technology as dehumanizing (**********) - the first step with which we users and players can regain our digital humanity is acquiring knowledge about the concept of digital humanization itself on this statistically significant “blue monday,” thinking about ella johnson, she must’ve been quietly on everyone’s minds at mark’s last night, between mario super sluggers, parasitic worms, and if you would elect to swallow eggs to be in a study about parasitic worms. it killed liz to be mute. her throat was so sore. i wanted to feel united in quietness with her but she really didn’t want to be there, and was still clawing at any way to speak. i smoked everyone in wario’s goldmine but choked on the shortcut into 4th place. i didn’t even know it was there until i was on it. i had another dream about running, hiding, searching for something in an impossibly huge house. awe and fear like real life house of leaves, endless, genuine secret doors, hidden areas, loops. i keep thinking about that “most challenging puzzle” book Maze, about what it says about interpretation. i feel like i am a normal Redditor, and everyone else is the Maze forum people. Normal Redditors say the maze is arbitrary and poorly designed, that it is unfair that some clues can’t be trusted. The Maze forum people somehow know that if a door doesn’t have any clues pointing to it, it is in fact this door that is the right answer. flowing water imagery: “The dynamic flow of water is made emblematic of the Bolsheviks' own unceasing application, and symbolic of the magical, transformative power of electricity itself, of Lenin its patron and of revolution. This points to the importance of water imagery in Vertov's work as a whole. As early as Cine-Eye he had shown Pioneers marching over a dam, allowing the camera to linger on the water rushing under it, and likewise showing them washing. Similarly, in Man with a Movie Camera washing serves as a crucial metaphor for renewal and transformation. The building of a hydroelectric dam represents an economic transformation enabling electricity, the energy of Lenin, to revolutionise the Soviet Union, but it is also a symbol of a deeper, elemental renewal.” Bavarian frequency (“but very infrequently”) Entscheidungsproblem: the universal decision problem, asks for an alg that considers an inputted statement and answers "yes" or "no" according to whether it is universally valid - post election slime - first time i went to canes - alicia wisdom teeth out - cole campfire - will rabbit play - therapy snake on path - synth workshop - literally every time ive interacted with nick - porchfest - pixies set with staph infection and peeling bandaid Towards a nuanced definition of fiee this guy said im very funny and sarah agreed with him. he said i made him miss being in undergrad. “phd students aren’t funny”. the debate afterwards was great too i really feel like i know what im talking about. but so much to read and learn still. joe commended me for defending computer science after another undergrad kept making this point that it inherently isn’t built for the humanities, that literature is inherently more complex and this shimmering golden untouchable light, that even since the beginning the internet was built solely to make things more efficient and orderly. i said i dont think thats true at all. the internet was a raucus thing that grew by breaking itself and patching its cracks. i had a dream you were my brothers music teacher and i was shadowing the class and you led us though a bunch of games like singing animal noises and we made lots of eye contact Guestbook: https://www.yourworldoftext.com/polygon
