I'm starting to feel that I'm less afraid of any particular ideology, but rather, I most fear the distance *between* ideologies. It feels more "towards life" to rage against the larger social neglect which breeds that distance.

RT @grahamformaine: From my old yearbook. We'll see!

we reach upward like addicts for altitude, city towers, childish arms, billowing chemtrails to the stars. addicted to outward, to anywhere but here, wanting to be all places but where and who we are. every dimension stretched out, flailing for some new deeper or further perimeter.

The goal of #plurality and plural society is to stabilize as much difference as possible, so that the collective achieves all the gains of what transpires at the intersections of that difference.

As I'm working on #collectiveintelligence and deliberative tooling, I'm coming to realize: we need less consensus-building, ut rather difference-stabilising. #delibwave.

I'm exploring interfaces for collective sensemaking, or maybe "human cartography", to help give spatial sense to projections of people into maps that trace the manifold of shared beliefs. I'm curious how gestures might support foraging in the data :)

Hey @hturan, any chance you've got any videos of the tool you built for your gestural exploration of the latent space of an image diffusion neural network trained on flowers? It was at @Mappletons Future of Code meetup at @nwspk a few years ago!

Still time to grab a ticket to this #civictech event this weekend in Toronto. !. If you like the vibe of the weekly @CivicTechTO hacknights, this will be a diff format to have those same sorts of "hope junkie" conversations and schemes :)

When ants find new food, they collectively create a pheromone trail leading other ants to the food. When humans find new ideas, they collectively create STORIES leading other humans to the IDEAS. So if stories are high-dimensional pheromone trails, is our current web an ok map?.

Had a thought about storytelling and ant pheromones while listening to @MelanieEMoses's episode on @ProfSchrepel's Scaling Theory podcast: #complexsystems #complexity

Congratulations to @team_mirai_jp and @annotakahiro24 for securing their first seat in the Japanese national election! #plurality @pluralitytokyo 🎉🎉🎉.

And if I now know exactly what future things will surprise you, what exactly do I know about you?. How could I AFFECT you, both to your personal benefit & to your detriment?. Perhaps most importantly: What power would I hold over you, that you no longer held over yourself?.

If I watched you read an essay, and took special note of what words/phrases surprised you or otherwise provoked curiosity, how well could i predict what new information would surprise you specifically? Now what if I watched you read a thousand essays? #LLMs.

Thinking about maps & territories. About the assembled written knowledge of a culture (books & poems, pamphlets & signage) & the spoken word of it. How do they differ? How do they relate & mutually inform? Which incubates in the other? Which is the map & which the territory? #LLM.

A stellar English introduction to what's happening in Japanese politics, coming out of the Tokyo #plurality community, with the #TeamMirai political party. #democracy.

My favourite homegrown icebreaker question for abaolute strangers: how are you problematic to people who love you?. So much whiplash in one sentence.
