  • It's time to stop not having a title for "The Novel I Can't Talk About Until It Is Done"

    Too goofy.

    I need a title that's a little more pretentious feeling.

    OK maybe not. Here are the themes:

    * hidden systems, hidden rhythms
    * inexhaustible technological hubris of silicone valley
    * loneliness what does it mean to be "alone"
    * the End Times, Prophecies
    * New York City
    * Ants
    * the crippling self-doubt of academics
    * how massive systems can fall apart
    * the poorly rendered places on the edge of reality

    It's hard to talk about it without really talking about it.

    I can't tell if it's really useful for this, or if that's just marketing.

    All of the worst people have been told that these tools will let them predict what the public will do next. It will let them find the key radicals and dismantle their networks. Perfectly inject propaganda and cash to take down their enemies.

    And the chat bot will *say* I can help you make a plan cheerfully enough.

    But ... is it going to be a good plan? These people expect magic.

    It's time to stop not having a title for "The Novel I Can't Talk About Until It Is Done"

    And no, I will not really call it "The Novel I Can't Talk About Until It Is Done"

    I want the title to be easy to search for, memorable and very cool-sounding. It should also NOT make people angry when they compare it to the book.

    Maybe I should call it:

    Psammophore

    This is a pretty word from myrmecology that describes the basket-like hairs on the head of some ants.

    Titles are hard.

    Is there a way to make such services where people could use their existing fedi-logins?

    Facebook marketplace works because people already have an account. Making an new account to do something is a massive barrier.

    But, could this be... IDK like an extension for servers or something... but everyone could see and interact?

    Description: In the video a woman sees her cat on a high window across from an indoor balcony. She is able to climb over the rail to save the cat: she manages to pick it up and return it to the balcony. But it's very precarious and dangerous.

    The cat jumps right back over to the widow with ease as soon as she puts it down.

    I'm trying to think of other artists who I *know* can draw ants...

    I know who can't draw ants.. Dali. Terrible ants.

    MC Escher is good though.

    This is easy: Jerry Pinkney

    Because I know he can draw ants and I'd want to have ants in the portrait. Also, he's work just blows me away.

    Oh. Well that would explain a lot.

    It's odd how there was a fixation on the cup, but that makes more sense.

    Yeah we're already on that one already.

    Listen. Let's say I wrote a fan fiction where I describe a romance that isn't in the cannon, but then someone rewrites it so that one of the two people in the relationship is different, then another person rewrites it so that the other one is also different and now the relationship *is* cannon.

    Is it still a ship?

    Everyone does idolatry. That's kind of my second point. Or at least I think almost everyone will do something that *someone else* could call "idolatry" -- Though I think I can explain why it's not irrational.

    At the same time, I thought that the unimportantance of particular material artifacts was part of the big point Jesus was making.

    But I often badly misunderstand Bible stories. Or that is what I'm told.

    I do have a connection to sailboats as it happens.

    But I tend to care most that they are in working order and that the rest of the crew can cover the things I can't do.

    And boats are replaced "all at once" when they can't be saved. People often given them the same name, and end up thinking of it as the same as more time passes?
