    Hartmut Rosa, Situation and Constellation, On the Disappearance of Human Agency
    "Particularly in our professional lives – but increasingly also in our leisure time – our decision-making is prescribed in advance by guidelines and forms, algorithms and apps, right down to the smallest of details. The role of situational, sensitive consideration and judgment is being replaced by the constellation-based machine logic of execution, which we wield on a daily basis. »Agree«/»Reject« – this is how agents of action turn into executors of actions."

    "...When spheres of discretion and judgment disappear and the creativity of human agency is eliminated from everyday practices of execution, we feel an increased sense of powerlessness. And as our power of judgment dwindles, so does our energy to act."

  8. The #Principia Wiki has a page about #Apparatus which has since become one of the most visited pages coming from Google search results.

    Even now with Principia being revived as open source and such, it still seems to be overshadowed by the popularity Apparatus had back in the day. Which is unfortunate, but hey, I have lots of nostalgia for it too.

    So I decided to set up a new website for collecting information about the game, intended to look very similar to the old community site for the game:

  9. “We must not suppose for an instant that the Book of the Law is opposed to reason. On the contrary, its own claim to authority rests upon reason, and nothing else. It disdains the arts of the orator. It makes reason the autocrat of the mind. But that very fact emphasizes that the mind should attend to its own business. It should not transgress its limits. It should be a perfect machine, an apparatus for representing the universe accurately and impartially to its master. The Self, its Will, and its Apprehension, should be utterly beyond it.”

  10. Today my friend stopped by to chat about a project and I showed her some of the custom color tubes I have been working on. She asked how I might scale it up to make it more efficient...

    Well I have been literally using clamps, scraps and masking tape... so I could do a lot to improve... but I thought I would start with this.

    Drying the solvents carrying the phosphor powder is important. I took a scrap circle I had lying around and made it into a drying manifold that shoots a weak but steady stream of air across the vertical tubes dissuading gravity and encouraging drying. It mostly worked, but it was starting to get clogged with runoff phosphor goop and due to its 12mm closed in design- would be kinda difficult to clean.

    So I made a new one. This one uses a larger diameter, hand pulled scrap and has 8 ports in 10mm and 12mm sizes for more tubes drying simultaneously.

  11. I visited with my friend Katie Severance in Philly yesterday. Katie helps me with #Scientific #glass things. We have been chatting about teaching a class together on creating Scientific Apparatus for the #Neon Shop. This visit I am learning the timing a bit better for proposed demo's an topics.
    Every time I visit Katie I learn or see something new. Leeroy the dog reminds glassblowers to "make a gripper" hence the lathe tape wraps.

  13. Many moons ago, I wondered "is there any limit to abstraction? Where does imagination cease being human?" I went on a journey and ended up developing new methods for robots to embody themselves cognitively. I was an early skeptic and proponent of Integrated Information Theory. I think it needs to mate with Constructor Theory and a bunch of other incomplete branches of study before any of them can become a #viable #autopoetic #apparatus.
