Seeing the Seers Blind

Some notes that make sense if you watch this…

🤖 We are already robots, we will correct all errors in biology and evolution. Running backwards from terminal points. We will do this will all of the things we hate.

🫟 We will create new systems. The Malthusian Fallacy is that our current systems are as static as our language. Everyone will be a CEO, intellectual property can be the great lever of fortune. We will negotiate better than now.

The creative field is about the creators, not the product.

🧸 Consciousness is probably more durable than “jobs” or “money”. How “consciousness” be discarded but not “jobs”? Everyone hates their “job”, and “money” is such a crude token. We can create supple, discrete and powerful ways of marking value, that fits into our conception of a good life. We are stuck with this current tool because of the power it bestows, but that power is flexible. We also constantly endure examples of that power compelling terrible behaviour.

🙄 Watching people who obviously love their job is a bit annoying. Just like the future, after the nuclear war of course.

Age of the Clowns

We are currently living in an age in which sophistication collapses into simple, humorous messages.

A clown owns comprehensibility and presents action as unserious to distract and defuse from the real and tragic action of philosophical transplant. This is happening on multiple fronts.

Trading Game

So I am looking to buy the book a youtube guy wrote about how the economy is falling to bits and is corrosive to society. I add the book to my cart on amazon at £15 pounds, it goes to £19 and then down to £17. I wait it out a bit and it seems to fluctuate more and then stabilise at £19. removed from my cart I check indie sites. on sale at £23 for the retail of £25. Other used book places have it pegged at £20. Then checking ebay, I bid £12.00 and loose by 50p. Then the ebay algorithm offers me the book at £8.50 plus £2.50 shipping. I order it. For a book about the economy, it is very much involved by the act of its presence. I ended up giving this copy away. I was not expecting it to be a paperback, and was some sort of preview copy. So at last, wandering in a shopping centre, I spot a hard cover on sale for 50% off!

I have not started it yet.

Dial time Caseback

This watch was made in 1965 and the movement is run by a battery, powering a tuning fork for accurate timekeeping. The technological precursor to quartz gubbings. The second hand sweeps and the watch hums. Tucking the crown in the back with a retractable handle is also a smooth move.

Tools and Instruments

Tools facilitate work, instruments make music, repair tissue, take precise measurements. The tendency to make tools in the technology sphere is part of the “great point missing” that many participants are involved in. Instruments are what this moment requires, for refinement and the solving of discreet problems.

Wind, Willows Whatnot

Mole, leaves home to explore the world. He befriends sensible Ratty, and they enjoy peaceful riverside life. Their tranquillity is often disrupted by the impulsive Mr. Toad, whose obsession with motorcars leads to strife and homelessness.

Badger and other dudes try to rein in Toad’s recklessness. His friends work to reclaim Toad Hall from invading stoats and weasels. The story highlights themes of friendship, loyalty, and the beauty of nature, offering gentle lessons about responsibility through the animals’ charming escapades.

In the USA it has been said that the correct size for a start up is 2 founders. One tech guy and a business guy. I propose in the UK that 3 are required. Tech, money and marketing as business here is more nuanced and riven with convention.
