As a big user of Raspberry Pi devices, I really enjoyed this. I guess I haven’t seen much assembly line work on electronic devices, so it was interesting to see how tape reels of components are actually used, among other things.

My explanation for all this stuff is simply that the fundamental unit of reality is the first person perspective. Each of us is dreaming the world on the fly, and we’ve dreamed up a physical universe as one way to be characters in each others’ stories; but it’s not seamless and it’s not the only way.
I browse Ran’s writings from time to time. He doesn’t push an RSS feed directly; someone collects his stuff and does it for him, so it all scrolls off the page eventually. So I’m still trying to figure out a way to post a link to anything he publishes. Maybe this is a way.

Two-way doors can be taken, and once you see the effects, later un-taken. These choices can be iterated, refined, re-evaluated. We learn from our first attempt, however naive. Two-way door decisions don’t require in-depth analysis or attempts to form consensus, so they can be made quickly and efficiently, or often delegated.

Conspiracy culture up through the 1990s was dominated by what could be called a “radio sensibility.” Fringe topics were mostly discussed on late-night talk shows. There were guest experts, and listeners could call in, but the host still functioned as a (lenient) gatekeeper, and the theories themselves conformed to a narrative format. They were, for the most part, complete stories, with beginnings, middles and ends.
