    It occurs to me that A.I. will be like John Michael Greer duplicated 10,000 times.

    This is not a good thing.
      The Greer algorithm like all algorithms falls short of meeting expectations.  Sometimes far short.  But no one formula fits all don't you know!

    Popeye would say 'E sucks it in hin an e spews it out'.  Like the first of the five brothers from the Qing dynasty.

    The first brother could swallow the sea.

    And spit it out.  It is a talent.  Other brothers have other talents. 

    Do you believe in magic?  Many people do.

    I just read JMG, and he is pushing the belief that if we all imagine a future without collapse it won't happen.  But we have to try REALLY hard!  Precise and vivid about it.  No dicking around.

    You win a magical struggle by formulating an ideal as strongly, precisely, and vividly as possible, while completely ignoring the other guy.

    The age of reason ends and the age of bullshit begins.


    No doubt if collapse happens it will be for lack of Ju Ju.
