i overheard a black preacher, the other day, on the television, assert that people who are 80 years old are “outliving” those who are “30” and “40”; while other preachers are still making outward commitments to the belief in a something-to-come. two ways in which preachers make use of eschatological thinking at the ends of history.

“social media” as buzzword (scientific speech, scientific image) and “social media” as political violence (commercial speech, manifest image) are two different beasts under the empire of law.

If machine intelligence is indeed a different form of intelligence, then it can be observed and judged on the basis of its own merits, as opposed to a messianic waiting for a moment where it might equal or eclipse (weakly defined) human intelligence. This would even render obsolete the question as to whether or not machines can think—which in itself willfully glosses over the corresponding opposite question, “Can humans think?” posed by the former Fluxus artist (and Emmett Williams collaborator) Tomas Schmit in the year 2000 (Schmit et al. 2007, 18–19). — Crapularity Hermeneutics: Interpretation as the Blind Spot of Analytics, Artificial Intelligence, and Other Algorithmic Producers of the Postapocalyptic Present.

dr. nash’s article is about the politically loaded significance of linguistic practices/naming, not just “black women’s genitalia”, as a basis for analyzing the material conditions reflected in forms of gentrification.

you are enjoying the soft bigotry of low expectations, or to read her without the principle of charity. i have every reason to suppose you’re intentionally weaponizing obtuseness/reductionist posturing.

tbh, it’s one of the drier bits like what you might find any day on language log (upenn). do you read much philosophy of art anyway?

my favorite pornotrope is how people still swear by the belief that apple computers suffer no “malware”, because why are androids apparently so promiscuous like any black person wants to spoof torvalds’ github username

do androids sleep with promiscuous scapegoats?

since you know by 2020 that modeling categorical logic and categorical truth tables tell you less about the “trumper” than the non-trumper do you [really] want to risk it, framing the trumper, at least, as a “moron” who can’t muster the “IQ” points (btw, was everybody jumping on that that new EQ+AQ+SQ wagon to own the Young-Girl’s war on war)?

that paradoxical circumstance where trump acts the fool, because he knows you’ll take the bait, in front of his base, amplified by algorithmic blunders: socialism and barbarism/annihilation, have always lived side-by-side. your mythology of technology only cyclically prevents you from seeing that.

1. metacognitive myopia explained why people didn’t/couldn’t update their beliefs about the existence of “weapons of mass destruction etc”.
2. dogwhistling the threat of sexual revolution “comrade kamala” (i.e., he’s implying hypocrisy when he doesn’t understand what lenin’s use of the term “prostitute” meant).
3. playing the fool until you can’t (i.e., making his base feel insightful and “seen” as playfully serious, homophilically/mimetically charismatic; e.g., his base feels like their inference-making is being promoted based on linguistic sympathy through the aura of charisma).
4. from (3) somewhere in his administration they’re letting the would-be “fool” base do the grunt-work and creating cover; see “Optimal Team Formation Under Asymmetric Information”.

the quantum level of description is a luxury:

Conscious intentional communication, which we perhaps too hastily attribute to human beings as a mark of distinction, becomes a limited domain, the only domain where the distinction between desirable and ‘spurious’ uncertainty pertains. We may have to concede that the centrality of human communication, understood as a semantic and culturally saturated information system is, at least in principle, neither the first system in which information processes occur, nor necessarily the most efficient.
