The economic order breaking down.
I should worry about inflation.
China and other countries
(the usual suspects).
Trump.
Biden.
The border.
The title race.
Musk.
GWoT.
AGI.
Sea level rise.
Privacy.
Viruses on my computer.
Viruses in my brain.

How much of it can I know?
How much of it can I see?
What's new?

Now it looks like work.
Smells like work.
Tastes like work.

My fingertips eat
My screen glows
I lie in bed.

I'm high and listening to Plasticman. And working. I remember when the internet was a single thing. When it had 2D edges. Before the internet folded back on itself. Back when the topology was a human teleology.
How-much-about-it-do-I-know was my first way of engaging. That hasn't gone away. The internet can be intellectually interesting. Depending on what the-internet-is is in that case.
I got me some social vision, One what-the-internet-is is a place to understand human behavior. It's a thing with no edges.
In a graph edges connect. On the prairie our edges are barbwire. We stand on a page where graphs have been drawn.
Edges in time connect, Edges in space partition. Making edges is what people do. Our own edges are this-is-water.
Ferrari's aren't fair either.
Good luck.
A Eurorack system can show much of its causality in the physical domain. Wires, knobs, and sliders create a Rube Goldberg legibility. With the modules, they create a notation.
Plugging, turning, and sliding a Eurorack system is a way of writing music. Writing the first draft on a Eurorack is slow. Editing is not because there are no incidental abstraction layers. That's the appeal of it to me, I think.
My current system has few abstraction layers. There are digital abstractions at the front end; a Qunexus and an SQ64 for input and there's digital recording at the back end. But there's no black box in the middle. The modules are all analog.
Nothing with a screen. Nothing with menus. Just wires, knobs and sliders. Just observable causality.
The history of civilization is the history of watering deserts.
