Didn’t happen

For real. Big tradeoffs. I’m pretty deep into SC for now and I have faith it will pay off in terms of honing the creative/compositional process. So far it’s been alternately empowering, fun, maddening, and thankless

And here I am clowning around thinking “hmm I should to build Markov chain state shifts from the ground up in supercollider…”

Wow this things has built in Markov chain?

No, the band is me + tinnitus

“Band” 🤓

I think this can actually be generalized somewhat to include many instances of “forums” and other single-purpose communities/sites. Rare these days for sure.

True insight here.

Rudimentary q: wouldn’t “developing markets” in that same category of “producing conditions of 4 profitability” rather than direct extraction, which is think of as coming from labor or resource exploitation?

Idk what the lesson is other than “the political engineering of value extraction involves some theories and guesswork by capitalists”

This is consonant (in an undisciplined-and-chaotic-reading kinda way) with Hobsbawms discussion of Imperialism in Age of Empires (read this last night); that a thruline motivation of expansion of Imperial rule by capitalist powers was build markets.
