bisks are basically personal hadiths & as we autoflanderize into the crystallized essence of our personas we slowly lose authority over our own opinions & interactions & cede it instead to the innumerable scholars of the chains of transmission who dig up precedential insight into our true nature

what is your experience, if any, with Sol 5.6 ignoring instructions in its memory? does it depend on the nature of the instruction, the length of the memory, the separate custom instructions, the thinking level used?

George is actually Jerry's alter ego, a way of splitting Jerry's self to distance him from his own neuroticism and baldness. Elaine is imaginary too, of course - though in the opposite sense, of wish fulfillment Kramer, though, is real. he makes periodic neighborly checks on Jerry's mental health

my 2 favorites that I bet none of you've read: -Mysteries, Hamsun -Murphy, Beckett which is good, because if you're a psychologically and socially isolated young wordcel, especially one who's trying to write a latter-day modernist novel, they'll wrap you further in your social & artistic delusions

you know what would be cool? a visual interactive of most likely language deformations and then 'following' them into different basins over time, like watching tree of languages evolve by particular phoneme mutations down given branches to the present. does that exist

I fixed it so it scans right! If you want to sing it to yourself you should use this good one & not the original bad one I weaponized to annoy norvid

I have a merry model of provision ontological;
I've studies both empirical pheno-meno-logical;
I know the works of Ponty & I watch the world perceptual;
Attending to attention I make what's inert effectual

I'm very well acquainted too with matters mathematical:
Foundations univalent are a set-less theoretical
About identities of isomorphs I team with a lot of news,
Duplicate your structure & then I will have a lot of yous

I'm very good at Halo & I use automa-tic-ity
You'd better have straight 50s if you're gonna get the best of me!
In short if you're geworfen & you find you have a clearing full —
I have a merry model of provision ontological!

I know the work of famous names…: Husserl & Brentano
Answered many puzzles though there still are some I do not know
I raid the works of Milton to compose pastiches fabulous,
Or lay my lines in other forms & still they will not grab you less

I write authentic greentexts where the arrows set off fresh ">be me"s
(Even though the critics have been known to stop & scoff at these)
I can write a ballad on wall-gourds entombed cucumberous
While managing my meter like "I'm sure I will not fumble this"

Arising in attention are the different & the uniform,
Transcendental preconditions hold them to a single norm
In short if you're geworfen & you find you have a clearing full —
I have a merry model of provision ontological!

So when I know the meaning of both "ontic" and "phenomenon",
And when I sort the apophantic from the rest that's going on;
And when split magisteria are something that I'm chary at,
And when I know the contradictions of our common commentariat

When I’ve seen what’s been found out in machine intelligence,
And when I've learned compressions that have got a certain elegance;
And when I've got a smattering of philo-sophic strategy,
I've felt the pull of pulling off an apt phenomenology!

In terms of learnéd lyrics I'm both plucky & adventury,
Though silly lines sigoglin are parodic comic poetry
But if you've been geworfen & you find you have a clearing full —
Then I’ve a merry model of provision ontological!
