It's behind a paywall. But disabling JS works. I only have one gripe: https://www.merriam-webster.com/grammar/advisor-vs-adviser-who-will-win As to the dyadic elephants trampling us grass I infer from Steve's response, I've found myself comforting my lefty friends who seem to be having a tough time with this election. My attempts at comfort span the space from "we've been here before, it'll be alright" to "it just doesn't matter, most of the world lives under despotic incompetence, why not here too". The former works best on the lefties that believe in social groups and free association (e.g. anarchists). The latter works best on the deeper thinkers who tend toward nihilism in their ideals, but still get up every day and garden or sling pints to the bougies. But my ability to continually reconstruct comforting blather hinges on my ontological commitment to an open universe. No matter what size or type of slab you pour over the grass, it (or maybe some dandelions) will eventually punch through it. That's because ideology cannot be (is not) hermetic, at least not as hermetic as the holders of it think it is. And I'm not merely talking about politics or daily life. This Professor Dave video explains yet another aspect of openness, in this case of "science": The Problem With Sabine Hossenfelder https://youtu.be/70vYj1KPyT4?si=JdFhkMGelAPls9YU The idealists will never stop idealizing and then reifying their ideal. To Engineer is Human. But those of us who know (or merely confidently believe) reality is made up of a diverse non-wellfounded set of ... what? ... urges? ... nano-agents? ... IDK, whatever, will always anastomose that built environment ... or at least reclaim it like a hermit crab squatting in a tin can. On 10/29/24 11:22, Marcus Daniels wrote:
