  1. was thinking that any (even superficial) growth of biotic memory would also seem to involve at least in a minimal way, a certain diminution or impairment of the entire aparatus, whether that be considered functionally (processing speed, etc.), or simply on a material level where specific contents/connections are lost. in most cases, i'd imagine that the growth would be quantitatively greater than decay, and so 'generally' unproblematic.

    but even if one were to take an intentional stance at a level of physical cause and effect (let alone subjective-experientially), the continual growth of one's memory across time would also constitute a continual loss. that continual loss is the death of certain past experiences. none of this is a hugely strange fact for most people. what is dead might be inferred in some cases as an absence, but,

    my feeling is that trying to think of those memories which have been irrevocably altered or lost wholesale is one of the most absurd and interesting processes i can think of. almost of meditative value like koan.

    could be the case that our very physical constitution institutes the meno paradox. how are you to know of a thing when you are wholly ignorant of what it is? "even if you happen to bump right into it, how will you know it is the thing you didn't know?"

  2. i've been hearing that la roux remix through the floorboards at my house for like 4 months straight. and the people upstairs are mos definitely douchebags. like (most) rusko, piss me off... decided to pick up a good sub and rattle some real shit through the foundations...

    ahah - any of you toronto cats gonna catch rusko w/ krazy baldhead? no thanks...

  3. Indexing requires energy. In order to index an infinite amount of information, you would require an infinite amount of energy.

    grammatical problem there.

    but, quantum computing could (?) deal with this.

    mebbe avoid the massive combinatorial explosion, etc.

    e/o GGL probably still becomes wintermute or whatever...

  4. yeah, i don't really care what they're called.

    wedge soles, crepe soles, etc., etc.

    i mean the white things.

    i've been away from my metropolitan home for a while (where the stores are...), and i'm sitting here in the countryside bugging over boots with nothing to do...

    please, appease my minor neuroses...

  5. RW 875's

    *or 1907's?

    is this shit completely blown up?

    american apparel is even selling similar shits... & i know RW's are hella popular, but this particular instance unsettles me...

    i just want a pair of boots that i can beat up through the winter, and then get some occasional use of for the rest of the year... was gonna re-sole my w+h boots for the winter, but fuck that...

    so, y/n?

    or, alternatively, some ll cool bean boots. hopefully not stocked in urban outfitters...

    so, this/that?
