⚠️ UNRELIABLE PROPHECIES WARNING ⚠️
THIS PROPHET'S FORETELLING MAY OR MAY NOT BE ACCURATE. NO REFUNDS WILL BE OFFERED FOR INACCURATE PROPHECIES.
WOULD YOU DESTROY A BETTER WORLD TO SAVE THIS ONE?
TO GO STILL FURTHER ... IN THE MOVEMENT OF THE MARKET ... FOR PERHAPS THE FLOWS ARE NOT YET DETERRITORIALIZED ENOUGH, NOT DECODED ENOUGH ... NOT TO WITHDRAW FROM THE PROCESS, BUT TO GO FURTHER, TO "ACCELERATE THE PROCESS" ... THE TRUTH IS THAT WE HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING YET.
I SWEAR BY MY LIFE AND MY LOVE OF IT THAT I WILL NEVER LIVE FOR THE SAKE OF ANOTHER MAN, NOR ASK ANOTHER MAN TO LIVE FOR MINE.
EVERY MAN IS FREE TO DO THAT WHICH HE WILLS, PROVIDED HE INFRINGES NOT THE EQUAL LIBERTY OF ANY OTHER MAN.
IN ITS COLDER VARIANTS, WHICH ARE THOSE THAT WIN OUT, ACCELERATIONISM TENDS TO LAUGH.
WE WILL ENJOY OUR ALIENATION

To briefly explain the structure of this blog: this is a nearly direct export of my Zettelkasten knowledge system. I call the hypertext nodes here thoughts instead of "posts," because they can be changed, rewritten, and edited over time — to erase mistakes or represent my changing views — but can also remain stagnant and unedited as I move on to thinking more actively about other things — whether unrelated, or specific related subtopics — and my views change but I haven't had time to go back and edit them.
Thus, if you want to get a more complete and up to date understanding of my views on a topic, look at a whole thought page, not just an individual thought: like any brain, my public second brain is a constantly changing, evolving web of beliefs which is moved forward precisely by the tensions between various parts of it, forcing it to move in one direction or another.

The phenomenology agentic coding
* The discursive trap of productivity metrics AI coding agents are important not because they make one more productive, but because they fundamentally alter what it is like to program. That is what interests me and --- I believe --- should interest you, about this whole enterprise. The productivity discourse is, to a large degree, misguided noise, a discursive trap motivated by reactionary Luddism on the one hand and market hype on the other. While AI coding agents certainly make me, as a progra... -
How my brain works
Even at the best of times my predominant intellectual ability is being very good at applied ontology: at figuring out the correct categories and organization and architecture of things, at describing what I want and following the logic through. Not creative or lateral thinking. My brain is like a Bugatti Veyron: very fast in a straight line. This is very helpful for things like programming and writing in some sense, because Im very good at seeing the joints in reality and describing things how t... -
Why I hate misandry in feminist spaces
Whenever I see jokes or meta-ironic statements made about how men are all evil, or inferior, or should be castrated, or killed, or how theyre all dangerous, or predators, or abusers, or disposable; or even if I see more subtle or toned-down versions of the same mentality, I react very negatively. You might ask why -- after all, Im a trans woman. Those thoughts arent directed at me! First, the fact that something isnt directed at me shouldnt mean I cant speak up against something I think is wrong... -
The left has prigs too
Im very tired, but I think its finally time to talk about this. So excuse the awkward prose, and focus on the ideas. Ive spent a lot of time in leftist circles, via social media (up until a year ago, when I quit cold turkey after a particularly unpleasant couple weeks) and in person. Ive begun seeing a pattern in the thoughts and actions of leftists that sincerely and deeply disturbs me. Its not just in other leftists, either, but in myself as well, that I see this pattern of actions and thought... -
Stop looking at the horrors
New horrors are born every day. Many people seem to think theres some kind of obligation to be informed about all of them, to have an opinion on all of them, to have some kind or prepared statement about them to weave them back into the grand narrative of whatever ideological clique youre a member of. More than all of that, many seem to think that theres some sort of obligation to look at these horrors -- to stare at them until your eyes bleed, drinking them into your soul, forcing yourself to f...
