Techne = art Episteme = science Conventions = law/governance

memory

 Aristotle, well well. Bring the insight of ethics from the past, as over social media not needed.

Small strpping stones of the past, of wisdom interpreted to bring into modernity.

From the past, there are lessons and solutions found.

From Community of Practice. Fighting the tension of commodity. Then of conventions of status informed by the epistme of hard sciences, to our softer social sciences and softer aesthetics.

So with this scaffolding, he brought the hammer down and caused many generations to discourse your come.

Byung First Impressions

Ironically, he ls the one to find merit in the term of entertainment, cogntaintment, and allotainment. Attainment that's required fore social interaction of the signifiers.

The Disappearance of Rituals
Good entertainment
Agony or Eros

Reaching out, for profit, to the non-profit affairs. With the ethics here being all up for interruption advertising with the status grooming and such. From the internal/attainment being from the dualistic that commercialised from advertising, and holistically defined within philosophy. Within such a matter, I'm not sure such rhetoric of porn going to be fully in light.

Should not point at Foucault. Oh well, I'm going to have to get a book for that one.

Chuck Palunuik's Snuff has an argument for the perverse incentives of the sex industry.

Slop as meaningless concept

Thinking about mediocrity, along with the meritocracys associated with.

What is a slop?🛋🥣❔

#couchgregorblog #editorial

@Demigurlboss
"AI slop is a meaningless concept. It's not any more slop because it's AI, and the slop churn was going long before AI hit the scene. It's burying a thousand ledes so you can hop on an uncritical superiority bandwagon instead of acknowledging the impact of perverse incentives on social media and art.

IMHO, slop is something designed primarily with the aim of hitting an algorithmic feed and getting as many views and shares as possible. The point of slop is to get views because views equal money. It's something made for the sole purpose of exploiting social media payouts with minimum effort."

Nioce. Fast and cheap, the hackney'd lane comes around, even I entertain it with its tradition. It's where IP lies.

The perverse incentives, deserves to be placed here.
Drawing from memory.

Professionalism = Celebrity

Or a nicely to think of entertainment and private equity. From the Lila novel before it got overwritten, another to think of status. Or, well, ways of it hitting our attainment.

Such is, the passion of a matter, of industries norms of serving a customer with expectations and promises. Of qualitative differences.

That is assigned in an order of direction, if alignment of follows.

Celebrate, to keep serious and public. Etymology.

Then with this procession we get either scarcity or connection. From Formal governmental rankings to informal friend groups.

Hypocritical realist

Hypocrite is to play and to act, to put a double standard up under a suspension of disbeleif. Under such a generous skeptic he can view the illusion under such a pretense of the impressario whim.

From. The book cover of literary genre expectations, obligatory scene and sequences of thoughts playing out.

With fictional viel gone, the liar is exposed.

So, the legelese is necessary.

The popular vibes around the personal space


Vibes, or the smaller reaches of the terminally online. When it comes to the masses, It's indicative to note one's own influence and whether it's important to be of governance.

"Don't act like a celebrity if you ain't successful"

I think of the Ernie bush miller quote, is that me being a silly newbie or a ponderer of the direct response and luck outside my affairs.

Best to check and be responsible for the epistemic bubble, along with the personal space of control.

will to nothingsness/ Thoughts on Neitzhe Anti-humanism


 Right-o, going through the emancipation study groups, where the times.

First impressions, of the folk version. (Unreaded, unclambering my thoughts)

He's grappling with the aristocrat condition, the sociologists are trying to reverse engineer, some say he inspired the Nazis, some not.

Ubermensch : Do you mean role models, we see value in there teleology? Of internal/external states? That concepts valuable.

There could have been an article connecting him more, others call him empathyless, was he a hack?

Well, cynical non-hack, although his vision brings that of a rugged onlooker. Resentment concept will look like the one that sticks.

This is what they tried to salvage in terms of his style though.

Biting-in-the-wind cynicism. From the death of fanaticism of theism to his moustache.

The podcast in question, He will eventually be left and dismissed, it's always nioce to see.

John S Burges on Prosumerism visual

 https://www.themarginalian.org/2012/09/28/ways-of-seeing-john-berger/

Media may be a low influence, it's trying to get through with licensing monopoly worship.

Well, it all started and still hangs high within the art world, between the hackneyed commercial and the romantic literary.

A publicity picture, showing envy of to consume. With the motivators, with the Fear, exclusivity guilt, greed, need for approval, convenience and pleasure.

There it goes, with the visual, of publicity, of glamour. That's what the ways of living, or the dejourement of the hustle trance.


It can feel like this, even.

Well, we are in the society we are.

Nakedly easy-to-read relations

Are they pretending to hide their relationalism of the metrics,

Little office clerks, working and quietly, not saying the loud part out loud. Everybody is gaming a kind of metric relationalism, or are they in unison of this mawkish pleasure principle, or this satisfaction of teleology of desire?

Everybody has it, the pretensions of acting normal that this relationalism of direct response metrics that let us understand each other's status, status is always relationalism, scarce powers that shim and shimmer amongst the waves of our streams of consciousness that show priorities of importance that guide the intuitions, and into the structure of friends and enemies, attractions and repulsions. Even the complex rationalisations that will be justified.

All for the point, for that sweet, sweet interruption of monetised ads.

Right between the points. Between the relations.

I look back at this media theory By seth, Then wonder.

( Worth another relink )

Sapiosexual/Demisexual


Cognition and Emotional.

Logos and Eros.

Expression of Philosophy/intellectual cogency and the emotional bonding of intuitions.

Such is a manner of identifying with the continuing expansion of the taxonomy of sexual attractions towards understanding the performance of self.

With that, that merely shows that with the commodifying of community and queer theory with the expression with of ones own sexual identity is a manner of understanding if any of these labels serve, I'm lurking again within more of the ethics of substack, and it's a matter of time to understand new ways to talk with others.

There are a lot of images, either generated or and I'm getting less phased to condemn or endorse, it simply exists.

Thanks queer theorists, thanks non-elitist philosophers. They still keep asking questions and non-questions. Until I go back to work.

Here's a really cussy edutainment piece, with functional philosophy definitions btw, relinking it.

Status and Culture


 

Even out of the bounds of our epistemic enterprise of our academia, the main road's status motivations, and incentives still persists.

" Everybody is fishing for status, let nobody tell you otherwise " some Dragon Odendo, altered quote, probably. Well, Transcend, for that matter. By junction of there engagement. Social is the proceeding semiotic of economic, that's made of exchange value and set - price. Price, meant to stop haggling by the Quakers.

After the price and the exchange, there's the use value of the physics and mechanics of the things produced, artisan craft on the things of those who own their conditions of labour.

So Status, Rigour (sometimes that happens in academia, to and not.) Pretending not what other people do.

Status is a invisible ruler that effect to our micro decisions. From scarcity, to our abundance.

Other concepts i picked up 🛋📖 ( from the status book, author comes from fashiony background. )

Kitsch/Avant garde distinction

Epigone, in art of imitation, Exemplar by Immanuel Kant

Newmania:

Seeking the new cool thing on microblogs.

New = not exactly better, since to desire to see new entertainments via media.

Hysterisus :

Lagging behind in Greek, etymology. Used to describe another phenomena of trends in the data.

That's personal definitions n note. Possible to change.

Quite the sensation of how it's organised, with it being abstract of s

Second order effects / Human rights / List of Philosophy

Oops, social media all status roles, I must return to be academical shell and see if I can see enlightenment.

This is my Ecosia gamification stats, by the way, that's positive externalities.

 That's the alternative of Consequentialism.

Categorical. Be it with opinion of citizens, or enforcement of institutions.

Oh, Oh will be putting this from emancipations  For current marxist academic theory, well, it's got plenty of podcasts and others.

Whatever the intention falls. Does not matter to a consequent along with it's spreadsheets.



I got this from this philosophy list, that's a load thing to add to a list or not. For beginners/intermediates wanting a refresher of the moral principles.

Is this too western, though, too American? Welp, Other than open university, beats having a wrong microblogging education.

The perks of obscurity

It's all a blur, so many little content curation and moderation being what is sold, all in an expanding universe of vendors and suppliers with all their advertising, all a blur, all the fandom/hatedom, all the time, all of it was going in a blur of media heads down the way.

Academics are avoiding xwitter, or microblogs, some of them are in substack, they are going there, I found a good post on obscurity.

Since it's all datum, observable of the lowest stratum of comprehension, the scientific, and the narrative of this is to study, or when with a monopoly/monopsony of attention. Fame/infamy explains the entitlement complex of status value and cultural capital.


There's little attention. No data for interupption advertising.

No Ruthless expose industry complex, the need to make dramatic fiction to draw attention.

Thousands of merchandise, gone.

Fan fictions all around. Shippers, and all that.

No Status value to follow.

Cherish this moment while it lasts, I trust you, don't I?

( Oh, I've still have to learn to do a sales call, and a payment specification. )

What did Zig Ziglar, a conflict avoider, says with the data generality and a meaningful specific? Or, a semiotic specific in a chain.

Avoid digging those presupposition holes


 Be careful who you work for, that's what you give labour too. Or, the moral desert

Be careful who you believe as a means of coherence, that's what a presupposition is.

An opinion of prescriptive judgment, of all prescriptions and then the descriptive.

Intellectualism, well, it's a stuff you ask a scholar for. Seth Godins Liberal ramblings.

Play/serious, the book of play

The essay on play/seriousness Fast/slow.
5 stars.
Play
Between Illusion and reality.

To move, and to stand still, Etymologically from the fast and slow.

The slow plot and the fast spectacle. We dance with it. I can see why it inspired my play though. Aristotle as the tension with all the aspects that make our minds dance with the matter of understanding how it constructs our society and civilisation.

This read left me with hope how a concept effects us, infrastructure and urbanism with the products of our capitalism and industrialism has given us many benefits and many liabilities. Advantages and disadvantages. Something in the back of our minds with eudaemonia, quality of life and the cost of living.

Guess that's the narrative mindset, leaving him with respect of our institutions and organisations From dispersion of tension to the creation of it, two poles. Moving us forward.

This is the video that inspired my reading.

Ode to the Meme time

Abstract expressionist bwomph.

 
Memeplexs

One thing social media has done, which is nice. Is memes.

The only idea and concept that Richard Dawkins every contributed to our culture, with communal expressions that lead to heuristics of better understanding of civilisation, or more heuristics.

Other ideas, such a study of meme, and the meme machine are better books on this phomonoa imo.



Quibbles, Jreg endorsement, already he may have normalised bad treatments.
Too much glazing of Richard Dawkins, the only one which I liked of the four horseman of the atheism was Daniel Dennet.

Now share along, those transcendent of the Draconian IP laws, spread away and fall through the ideas of all the ways into the art of collage and in the see of the cyberspace.

Swoosh!

Peter Coffin on licensing, character examination



So I'm going to dive into an excommunicated character. Time to commentary time with my impressions.

Yes, I'm posting this. IDC if you disagree, and you see this as an endorsement. Cussy things asides with all the amounts. Here's he goes with the labour theory of value. 
As with gatekeeping, well, better to gatekeep creative commons rather than copyright doctrinaire. Each vote of that only legitimises the system. (That's an anarchist saying)

I've had to my commentary with Hbomberguy and Innuendo, 
We may have had differences with the movie such as c*ties with me agreeing with feminists Podcast episode, that's here and there.

Oh and the content, I've simmered on that. It's capitalisms perverse incentives and race to the bottom, really. Any sociological, foundherent analysis yet nobody is calling the obvious thing out to Hbomberguy.

Wow, he's got excommunicated by the copyright doctrinaires! Woopsy. Going to abstain my judgement of the J. K. Rowling thing. Guess he's right to call out the harassment campaign of the liberal apologists of certain issues now left-coded.

(Even when then, Innuendo's This is Phil Fish video has passed in the past. He's doing presentations of thought terminating clichés now. Strongly Agree.)

Commentary channels with this Though over the word content means there's still some hope, along with left unity never being a thing since it's harder to accomplish, that's a good thing. Welp, with my own opinion of the content/format distinction being a non-sequitur.



It's gone south, though, along with Stephanie.

What happens with those full of social media capital of Symbolism and relatability do now? Get Sad and leave, or mad and try to consolidate and control. Have to agree with that.
Yeah, Opinion has lowered.

Oh yeah, I've discovered his position on Ukraine for the moment, and I support their right to self-determination. Frantz Fanon Self-determination. 

Agreement

Gen AI and propriety copyright
Fanboyish elitism
Understanding Sociology/neoliberal, and consumerism is not worker.
Prosumerism
The pontifications of the term content is a mindless popularity contest
Malthusian Documentary one is strong.

Disagree
Certain geopolitical issues. (Maybe here and there though, Idk Already here and there.) Third campism. (I heard rumours that he talked with maga-coms? Not confirmed, don't take it at face value.)
References analogic reasoning to South Park, they are inconsistent to libertarian. Pot stirring provocateurs with their polemists, yet he's using them in a consistent.
(That Took my jerbs gag.) (Post-edit Couch Gregor)

My emptiness that he may of not read Susan Hacks Foundherentism.
Gatekeeping, I'm suspecting more of moral panic and status roles of others on Twitter and all that pearl clutching.

If I gave a completely arbitrary game review score 6/10 for this self publisher.


Okay, As Bonus on December edit he called out the latest video by Drew here ai being profitable being a capitalist mindset, he's still blogging it.
