Science involves concentration upon observed phenomena and, to a lesser degree, a body of models. The goal is to make good models.

Engineering is like science but heavier on the models. The goal is to make good machines.

Art is like science but lighter on the models. And some of the observed phenomena are esoteric. The goal is to make good art.

All 3 use concentration. Concentration is important.

And it sticks. I mean, focus your attention in that little world of meanings and symbols long enough and you'll tend to get stuck there.

But reality is infinitely larger than that little world. So to stay there, in that little world, to have your perspective altered like that all the time, is a bit unhealthy and insane.

But this is considered normal. Encouraged even.

First : the algorithm predicts thar our behavior today will be like our behavior yesterday. Which makes sense.

Second : what you eat determines how you poop. And they do control what we eat. So that makes sense too.

So both work together.

Teacher : draw a triangle with sides of length 1 inch, 2 inches and 3 inches

Kid : but you can't do that. You get a 3 inch line. Other students proceed to draw skinny triangles.

Teacher : you're wrong Kid. Everybody else can do it, what's your problem?

True story.

This is why open source, total transparency, radical free speech and democracy is the one and only way. Because if there's even one little shadow there will be a scorpion hiding in it.

I'll do my own pandering thank you. With a collection of clear virtue signals, a rigorous purity filter and a crew of fanatical moderators.

It makes me wonder about my own fears. How many of them were put there by propaganda?

Society is insane. Gotta deal with that somehow.

I'm a rural carpenter. I fly under all radar.

Finish the paper, or don't, the outcome is the same. You don't have to worry about the paper anymore. Which is what really matters here.

The second way is easier.

it's a basic prerequisite for participation in contemporary society.

A fancy way of saying "mandatory"
