The concept of "events" in the article "The Body As Mixer" intersects interestingly with ideas of time in complex adaptive systems, particularly when considering the distinction between chronos and kairos.●Chronos refers to linear, sequential time, the kind we measure with clocks and calendars. It's the quantitative aspect of time.●Kairos, on the... See more

note2self: in complex adaptive systems, we have chronos and kairos times. we are agents in these CAS. design for open-endedness (see heymaven, primordial, vintro)
Mental space is a term which I use to refer to all of what we visually see in our mind's eye - whether it is a visual memory of something that is outside of ourselves, or a product of our visual imagination. A thorough discussion of mental space is obviously beyond the scope of this paper. Basically however, the key characteristic of mental space,... See more

When I listen to this, I can't help but hear James Brown's "It's a Man's World" in those sweet melodic parts. Mehldau's a virtuoso, and I know he can explore the hell out of a piece, but I love when he brings out the sweet.

Quite the opposite, it honors the most meaningful kind of purpose: that which arises from process. We don’t find meaning, we make it.

"Nakatomi space" is a term coined by Geoff Manaugh in his blog post to describe a way of navigating built environments that defies traditional architectural norms. It's inspired by the actions of John McClane in the movie Die Hard, set in the fictional Nakatomi Plaza. The most important characteristic of Nakatomi space is the use of unconventional,... See more

But do remember, it’s the same thing! It’s the same thing, forever and always. Look at this:
Houllebecq - value detaches from human experience
Dostoyevsky - rapid progress can fracture human psychology
Philip K. Dick - our struggle to distinguish reality from simulation
Kurt Vonnegut - automation would both solve and create problems... See more
