LSOO - Denis Villeneuve

Cat's at to he end of his fucking tether too!

He doesn't mention the existential hell that threatens anyone who goes into this place in the human mind. You don't need to read Gregory and Mary Catherine Bateson's Angels Fear: Towards an Epistemology of the Sacred to be able see what it is. As with all really good books, you only need to read the title. Inside you'll probably find something very like that which R.D. Laing describes in R.D. Laing - The Politics of Experience And The Bird of Paradise. That book is so precise that I think he must've used some sort of symbolic calculus to write it. The feeling I got listening to the first few chapters of that was very much like the feeling I got when I started trying to understand Aristotle's two books on Logic. I thought "this is inhumanly precise. He must have used some used some sort of consistency-conserving calculus to generate it automatically, like a machine". I suspect the Denis Villeneuve has been hanging out with whatever is left of the Bourbaki circle. Maybe that's a few more people than I once imagined it was! 😂❤️💓💞 See Measuring Ignorance and My Effluence - Last Three Months.

Fun fact: that same calculus could be used to coordinate prosecution in hugely complex international systems of lawsuits, such as this one involving Robert Edinger and Mark Zuckerberg. See Pink Floyd - High Hopes.

... and his posterity too? See  On Communication in Linear Time And Hypertext And The Gospel of Sophia . So it looks like El Cielo of the cistine [sic!😂] chapel is not the limit anymore.  I think I just met one of his descendents. A guy called Versailles Toledo who is from Chiapas. That might explain the murals I mention in my recent untitled post , just before the post mentioning this video. I also just took this photo of Rafael Gonzales, born here in Tecate, B.C., who told me about a spring near here called Agua Fría , half way from Tecate to Loma Tova , where, a few decades ago, people used to go to have barbecues and stuff, but now he thinks it may be private land. If someone reading this has a Facebook account, please write a link to this post onto his FB page. To see why I took the photo, look at his T-shirt and the horse-shoes and ponder this: Subscribe to BeatrizER and her video(s?) about mathematical logic, ... Sounds like Edith (II) Rix has been online all the t...

This was in The Guardian: David Turner obituary , only eight days after I posted  David Turner Talking About Sixty Years of Functional Programming History : This talk was given in London in 2017: See  Turner, D. A. "Some History of Functional Programming Languages" also  John Hughes - Why Functional Programming Matters  and David MacQueen's talk at ICFP 2015 in  Numberphile - Sophie Maclean on the Catalan Numbers . At 10:30 This whole discussion abut combinator reduction is especially interesting. I didn't know Arthur Norman had tried building hardware for combinator machines. I'll look that up: maybe start here A.C. Norman  Faster combinator reduction using stock hardware  in LFP '88: Proceedings of the 1988 ACM conference on LISP and functional programming. At 26:25 on the ISWIM virtual machine implemented in the PAL compacting garbage collector?! This work Reynolds and others did was at MIT in Masecheusetts and Argonne National Laboratory ...
