So Terminator started off as a low budget slasher horror flick. Makes perfect sense.

I've enjoyed this series! Particular favorites:
- Muthi Nhlema, Piss Corpse (very droll)
- Libby Young, The Smell of Rain (haunting me since I read it)
- Carmelo Rafalà, The Clarity of Ice (my kind of SF 🤩)
Also liked Zainab Omaki's The Last and Final Battle.

Love how this documentary is perfectly pitched (haha) for an American audience. Like: sun rising over the fields - Shohei Ohtani was born in a cornfield in rural Japan. Cut to Othani: There were no other baseball players around, just a broken old bat and a golf ball...

The more I study the phenomenon of human creativity, the more mysterious it seems. Their whole process of innovation is elusive, but is critical for us to understand. If we fail in this endeavor, thinking machines are doomed.

It’s odd to me that the Mamdani Cuomo race is painted as Capitalism vs Socialism with Mamdani on CNN saying he “doesn’t like capitalism”. They both support capitalism. That’s how the revenue is generated. Mamdani supports a higher degree of social return on that revenue. Like most European countries

He might have been referring to the 1st stanza of Beaudelaire’s Correpondances:
Nature is a temple where living pillars
Sometimes utter confused words
Man walks through forests of symbols
That observe him with familiar gazes
& perhaps obliquely to the last stanza on wealth and obliviousness.

Zohran Mamdani caught lying that he understood Plato’s allegory of the cave, yet when asked to explain it, he seemed to instead explain Baudrillard’s theory of Simulacra and Simulation where reality has been replaced by symbols and signs, which seems similar to Plato’s theory but is not the same
