poem

The unknown is not a place to store light.
And storing is hiding.

Down a passage too bright to see
And wondering where are relations and claims.

In thirty years will it still hold the shell it does
Will that shell compound the shell it holds

Except legally, nothing is holding anything else but points
To another claim on something else

And back to what must be repaid, which must repay what claims it.

on learning

1/4 is asking good questions
1/4 is being honest about what you do and do not know
1/4 is committing facts and hypothesizing
1/4 is forgetting the stuff you learned wrong

thought

i thought it was savings, but it was debt

if

if i were going insane, would i be the first or last to know?

potential

when people say 'living up to your potential' they usually mean working hard at something to do well at it. what they don't usually mean is living out all potential outcomes, including confusion, disgrace, and failure.

do you read every five dollar bill you spend?

nothing in there

i have an undetectable amount to say at the moment and i am relatively sure it is unworthy of the large effort required to explicate it.

unintended

if we build and fund research institutions and pay to educate people
beyond the point of diminishing returns for the research, we may still see
societal benefits in that an educated population is healthier.

exercise 1

chew a carrot while flossing. imagine that the pieces on your tongue are fallen teeth.

why this blog will succeed

because I might be successful putting some form around some of my thoughts and thought experiments.

because it might serve as a creative anchor.

because I might enjoy the experience of being sneaky in public.

because at present, I have extra energy, and feel like time is leaking, and that might push me to do this well.

why this blog will fail

because I am all over the place, and think more in terms of aspects and fragments than coherent and consistent arguments.

because I resist being pinned down or serious.

because I tend to make things complicated beyond my own ability to understand them, and that is rarely a basis for good writing.

because I don't have a personal need for a large scale signaling exercise, especially one that requires anonymity.

write about 1

some creative writing exercises about water and its foils:

write about gradual dilution of salt, or about perfect saline

write about the asperated particles from a cough, ending with their dispersion, and starting with the bark from the diaphragm

write about the water preserved as criminal evidence from a victim of drowning

write about rippling and dissipation of energy in sauces and stews

eek 1

eekenomics, or pseudofacts that should scare you

humility 1

My twitter stream consists of the useless thoughts of others, not my own 

nostalgia for less is more

less was more, at one time.

now, less is an empty gullet

to more's prefabricated circus.

the past holds clarity of little

once we were spare

now mounds, then icicles

or now the result of the extent of erosion

moisture

decay, or just the sound of information

if you keep your thumb where it is, you can't close the book.

random questions for tonight 1

where should i point my finger?

if you were required by edict to remove one letter from your name, which letter would you remove?

is curb your enthusiasm still on hbo?

how do i live with kitchen cabinets that look so crappy?

am i ever going to understand the relationship between entropy and probability? my mind is like a sieve tonight. perhaps i should just read john ashberry instead, he has a good deal of both entropy and probability.
