MUSIC IN PHASE SPACE

  • Progress and endofhistoritarians

    There three kinds of people, those conflate progress with market efficiencies and those who conflate culture with market inefficiencies So real progress is allowing a certain amount of market inefficiencies combined with a bunch of cultural efficiencies? Progress is the continuous discarding of simplifications when they obviously become albatrosses around your neck while in search…

  • Simplicity, Entropy and Simplification

    The relationship between simplicity and complexity is a fundamental aspect of many systems and processes, ranging from the natural world to human-made technologies. While simplicity is often associated with clarity, elegance, and efficiency, the process of simplification can sometimes lead to oversimplification or loss of important information, which may reduce clarity and increase disorder in…

  • Counterpoint and the Wave function

    Counterpoint is a musical technique that involves the interplay between multiple melodic lines that are played simultaneously. This can be a useful analogy for understanding the wave-particle duality of quantum objects. In quantum mechanics, the wave-particle duality describes how particles, such as electrons or photons, can exhibit both wave-like and particle-like behavior. The wave function…

  • Convenience

    Overproduction of convenience creates codependency. If we produce too many useful things, we create a surplus of people who are no longer necessary or useful to our goalpost changing. Which in turn can create a pool of Übermensch who are dependent on these conveniences and may become less self-sufficient as a result “Groucho’s quote exposes the…

  • Kafka’s Protocols

Just as K. struggles to navigate the labyrinthine court, producers and consumers in Kafka’s world fight to parse nonsensical messages, forever out of sync. The message payload, the…

  • The New Emperor’s New Clothes: “Empirethink”

    Twitter, a platform that was once seen as a catalyst for political change and social justice, has now become a breeding ground for propaganda, misinformation, and hatred. The ability to connect and communicate with people from all over the world in real-time has been exploited by those with vested interests, leading to the mirroring of…

  • Body Without Organs

    The “body without organs” is a central concept in the philosophy of Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari. It refers to a state of being or a mode of existence in which the body is no longer defined by fixed or predetermined structures, functions, or meanings. According to Deleuze and Guattari, the body without organs is…

  • The Super-Ego Injunction

    “Doctor, if I quit content creation, will I finally be happy?” “Of course not—but you’ll stop pretending you might!” Ah, the obscene superego injunction of late capitalism: “Create! Brand yourself! Be free!”—but only within the coordinates of a system that simultaneously democratizes the tools of production and annihilates the possibility of their emancipatory use. We…

  • The Junk Merchants

    “The junk merchant doesn’t sell his product to the consumer, he sells the consumer to his product. He does not improve and simplify his merchandise. He degrades and simplifies the client.” ― William S. Burroughs, Naked Lunch The rise of social media platforms has revolutionized the way people communicate, interact, and access information.
