sick post, thanks for not paywalling. queueing up all these interesting references so i can read them while doing nothing with my life.

environment revealing itself as teaching machine was a fucking spiritual emergency yah. (round 2017 or so, too. coincidence? i checked.) enlightened by the pumpkin lantern's word-bird nod (which funnily enough is not logorrhea but wittgensteinan lion-language, nyah nyah.)

sure enough back in the day we used to believe most of the machine was invented in or around weimar. had you been dope you coulda witnessed in real time how that insight lead nowhere real fast. guess what I'm tryna say is... other than subscribe to your substack, what are we even supposed to do with this.

other than a pretext for sharing these ("blog post as search query for people", go kick me) - I can say a lot of things but not that I really get the premise. what the fuck else is "cute" even supposed to mean, other than "an aesthetic of neoteny"? my usual strategy of bouncing the signifier across 3 languages yields no obvious exit point.
