music maker, thinking about the future and the presents & pasts that lead to it. new york rangers.
ANYWAY,
I'd like an editor to keep the things that fucking blur reality out of my face please. I love possums and raccoons, and most other cute garbage critters, but keep those videos of them on the trampolines and shit out my face.

That's a bit like the premium version though. If you cant afford to pay a person, the novel explains that you can always use the free algorithm.

I'm sure however that in a real world application of that, the free version, all of the failings of modern social media can be expected (see Zuboff).

Slop & BS are naturally pumped onto the web, & because of circumstances du jour, are spilling into unplugged life too. To keep that spillage in accordance with a persons preferences, a sort of manual filter bubble is enacted by paid employees, sifting through your feeds.

In his 2019 novel Fall, or Dodge in Hell, author @nealstephenson.bsky.social , in one of his typically prescient creations, suggested the notion of "editors".

In the novel, not unlike our own lives now, 6 or so years later, the fabric separating our IRL lives from the world online is wearing thin.

But consider that the values of Y and Z are malleable. This, a person can manipulate the speed of time by adjusting the value of the present and of life as a whole.

This gives “Carpe Diem” a theoretical quantifiability.

X=Y/Z
Where X is equal to the Perceived Speed of Time, Y is equal to the value of the Present, and Z is equal to the value of a life lived up to the point of the present.

That’s why time seems to move faster as you get older.

however, a few years ago, while writing an album about living in LA, as well as the nature of time, I did reframe an old undersranding into pithy algebra

What does it mean to be ‘ratioed’?

It’s not as if the great houses were any less reckless with their resources.

What was it about that palm tree? It takes the water of however many others?

I know it’s a serious subject, by my addled brain can’t help but read this as “C3P0 can’t hurt me. I will not think about C3P0. I don’t know her.”
