On this day, 27 years ago, David Cronenberg's 'eXistenZ' (1999) premiered at the Berlin International Film Festival, Germany. David Cronenberg on whether he prophesised the nature of present video games in 'eXistenZ' (1999): "I think people interpret things they see in those movies in anticipation. I mean, I've never...

.David Deutsch: The equivalent of consilience, that is, the unified meta-theory, as you put it, for all sciences, and I think actually more than a meta-theory, because I think more links them than just the structure and methodology and so on, was discovered by Popper. Again, I don't know whether this is historically the order in which things happen, but he is famous for his political philosophy and for his philosophy of science, and he found at one point that they are the same, that they both are about problems and about the fact that there is no such instruction from without, there is only conjecture from within. So that's why Lamarckism is false and Darwinism is true, and that's why group selection is false and individual selection is true, and so on. So I think it's already there in Popper. I think there's a lot more to it, and I tried to add another couple of things to it, so quantum theory and computation, but there's a lot that isn't in it, like consciousness and creativity and so on, that we have no idea of how those work and how they fit in with those other things. Gad Saad: Forgive me for interrupting you, David, I'm sorry. There is a book by Dean Simington, who's a psychologist out of, I think, UC Davis, that actually offers a Darwinian account for creativity. It's actually quite mind-blowing. So keep that in mind. I can give you the reference later, but go ahead. David Deutsch: I don't read such things unless they've already made an AGI. Gad Saad: I see. Okay, fair enough. David Deutsch: If they can't make an AGI, then they haven't got the full theory. They might have an idea for a theory, but then Popper has an idea for a theory, but he couldn't make one either. And Turing thought that there'd be an AGI by the year 2000, and that it would require two megabytes of memory. Now, he's obviously wrong about the year 2000, but two megabytes of memory, I reckon that's what it'll be. In other words, these large language models and all this massive computer power is going in entirely the wrong direction. The answer will be a philosophical breakthrough, which will allow, once we understand what we're trying to make, it will be relatively easy to make it with relatively few computational resources.

mark explained the confidence behind his big decision “that kind of thing felt so precious. i mean, even putting aside security, money, all these things.. the fact that i still had something i wanted to achieve. that felt so precious. ive always wanted to do things well, to really reach the top in everything. as someone who wakes up every day with this drive to live at my best, i began to wonder, “what does ‘the best’ actually mean? and whats my ultimate dream? what is the greatest thing i can leave behind in this life, in this world?” so everything started connecting. and if this is the greatest dream i believe in, then i needed to commit to it with my absolute best effort. honestly, everyone in this world is living by their own standards and who you are depends on, the standards you live by. but honestly, ive always had a bit of a loser mindset, what a man should be? and i never felt like that matched who i am. ive always had a complex about that, like rough or edgy and not too exemplary either. but suddenly i got confused about all that. i ended up talking about it to david, david kept asking me “what is that coolness you have in your head?” that made me dig deep and really think. i realized i should actually live by what’s ‘good’ and i need to express that through music. so i found this dream of showing ‘goodness’, i want to show the world what real goodness is and making music like that. ultimately, for the next generation.. i really want to show the next generation what that is. so my dream became very clear. you can be good and also be cool, i want to create a new kind of cool. i truly want that and i want to live it and achieve it in my own life. i realized this is truly something worth dedicating your life to.”

BAP is cautiously starting to take an interest in KIROK. A delightful development. Here he’s talking about how politics needs art. Art comes before morality and politics because art emerges directly from life itself, while morality and politics arise later as attempts to regulate, tame, or justify that life. “You can put all the new facts into peoples minds. But if they feel the same way, they will use them for their ends.” “The primary fight, I think, is on people’s moral valuations, and even more so on what precedes that, on the ground of morality in aesthetic appreciation and taste, how you form people’s tastes.” “If i can introduce to the world, new human types, new desires and ways of life, which I get from history and literature. But many intellectuals always forget this step: you have to transfer that through a modern possibility prism. And humor is your only path to jolt an audience and show something fundamentally new.” “At some point you have to make your own books, movies, videos, and so on. It can’t just be tweets and streaming. This New York thing, for example, it’s been going on for what? I’ve known about it for at least two years now. Tell me of one art piece that you know of or would watch again, whether movie or book or anything like that, that’s come out of that? I like art collectives that actually make art. That’s why I’m interested in this Dutch… I see it as a humor art collective, it’s called KIROK. I don’t know it very well yet, but I’m curious. I watched some of their movies. They’re quite funny.”

AOC on the biggest foreign policy change in America: " Well, I think zooming out beyond just this presidential administration, I think that what we are seeing is between President trump's first administration pulling out of longstanding international agreements, then you have President Biden who is opting in back into some of them, such E.G., with the Paris Climate Accords, um. And then you have President Trump that's elected again. I think what we are seeing now is this idea that US foreign policy is and some of our more basic and foundational values, based commitments seem to be enacted based on the partisanship of whoever is elected. That we play hokey pokey with USAID, with the Paris Climate Agreement, with ah, with many of our commitments, and I don't think that that is good for the country. Ah, I think that what is best is for when we sign an agreement and when we're a part of it, we stay in it, um, so that they know that our commitments are reflective of our nation's values in a way that transcends, ah, partisanship. And so I think that instability is one, but then the other. I think it it, it is hand in hand with the volatility. On one hand, it goes far beyond just agreements, and it goes into real aberrations. I think are in in interventionism, I think, a turning back on our commitment on human rights, um, as well as super charging an economic regime that fuels the 1 % um. And I think that that that piece is the most concerning for everyday people."
