Italo Calvino from If On a Winter’s Night a Traveler. Relevant discussion of gen Ai from 50 years ago… “What is the reading of a text, in fact, except the recording of certain thematic recurrences, certain insistences of forms and meanings?”

Text that reads:

I asked Lotaria if she has already read some books of mine that I lent her. She said no, because here she doesn't have a computer at her disposal.
She explained to me that a suitably programmed computer can read a novel in a few minutes and record the list of all the words contained in the text, in order of fre-quency. "That way I can have an already completed reading at hand," Lotaria says, "with an incalculable saving of time. What is the reading of a text, in fact, except the recording of certain thematic recurrences, certain insistences of forms and meanings? An electronic reading supplies me with a list of the frequencies, which I have only to glance at to form an idea of the problems the book suggests to my critical study. Naturally, at the highest frequencies the list records countless articles, pronouns, particles, but I don't pay them any attention. I head straight for the words richest in meaning; they can give me a fairly precise notion of the book."

When authoritarian regimes collapse, their leaders experience symbolic deaths, largely through the destruction & removal of monuments that they've built to glorify themselves and affirm their power. Sometimes called "iconoclasm," who gets a statue or monument is always a symbolic struggle for power.

Iraqis, with the help of U.S. troops, topple a monument to Saddam Hussein in central Baghdad in 2003. One journalist described the toppling of Saddam as “the most staged photo opportunity since Iwo Jima.”

How did we get here? Genuine left provides an analysis/critique The right creates a caricature of the leftist critique to mock Centrist/liberal folks unironically adopt that caricature as their mascot while distancing themselves from policy.

Basically The left writes/reads books The right complains about what they *think* is in the books The liberal center bargains between what the right says is in the books and what the right wants. This only works as long as people dont actually read the books.

"The mainstream media, is, unsurprisingly, not covering itself in glory as it struggles to avoid saying that either the president’s brain has completely left the station or that he’s a mendacious liar who knows no bounds, or both."
