I think I won with that last one. No need to search any longer. The most obscure piece of music in the world that is interesting is:

Scratches on the Readable Surface (Cello Octet Version)

Composer = {Caterina Barbieri}

Performers = {Cello Octet Amsterdam}

Cello Octet Amsterdam = {Claire Bleumer, Esther Torrenga, Geneviève Verhage, Alistair Sung, Rare? Mih?ilescu, René van Munster, Sanne Bijker, Sanne van der Horst}

Guys,

Is the universe infinity? I calculated that the probability of the sun's failure to rise tomorrow at 1 in ~1.6 trillion. That is just going off of how many days the sun has risen on the planet Earth. I don't know if we can calculate probability like that. If the universe is infinite and there are infinite outcomes I'm not sure that probability can be calculated. It's not a 52 card deck of cards or a 6 faced dice. Hume says it is custom or habit that when we put a piece of wood on the fire we expect it to burn and build a larger, hotter fire. It's habit. We don't consider the reasons or possibilities. Meillassoux says that the only thing necessary is contingency. That log might not build a larger, hotter fire and there may be no reason for it and no way to calculate the probability. We live in a world of hyper-chaos. Anything can break down at any time for no reason. The universe is indifferent to humans. There is no cosmic meaning. God is dead or taken hostage or never existed in the first place. God may exist in the future. Religion is superstition. The good news is there can be Truth. Truth in science/math, politics, art, and love. I can meet the Other and fall in love and it can change my life. That is an Event. That is Badiou. An unimagined Truth in any of those four areas can cause an Event that can change the world. That seems like more than nothing. Something is more than nothing.

That last post is sloppy but it's got heart. I give it a B.

The LLMs and Logic Bros have some sense of a big brain but no heart. They are like the tin man.

We humans will go extinct one day. It's only a matter of when. I'm here, now. Gravity is binding. Bureaucracy is real. Suffering is unnavoidable. I am thinking about that Dylan Thomas poem right now. Do not go gentle into that good night! Rage, rage against the dying of the light!

I don't really care to argue about the existence of God.

I keep saying religion is a superstition without backing it up.

I would like to learn more about infinity, Cantor's diagonal argument, cardinality, transfinite sets ...

I'm not the most pleased with how I spent some of my attention today but I should cut myself some slack for my eyes being dilated for a large chunk of the day.

Ich wandere im Herbst

Je flâne au gré de l'automne

Je m'égare dans l'automne

Je chemine à travers l'automne

Je pérégrine en automne

I can't decide if I want to re-learn German or learn French. German is sexy. French is sexy as fuck.

et aussi une petite anecdote amusante:

En octobre, il faut que l'homme vite s'habille quand le mûrier se déshabille

Leibniz was the dude that is typically credited with the ideas of non-contradiction and sufficient reason. P cannot be P and not-P at the same time and so forth. Everything must have a sufficient reason and so forth. I'm pretty sold on the non-contradiction piece. Meillassoux uses it for his argument and it is groovy. Meillassoux, however, is not a fan of the sufficient reason idea. In fact, Meillassoux has his own principle of unreason. In Hume's log on fire example it's like yeah, but oxygen, yeah, but thermodynamics, but what about oxygen? O2? Why? Why? Why? What is underneath? I don't know man I'll have to ask some scientists. I'll have to ask Meillassoux. Meillasoux says there is no reason for anything. I know some scientists and got at least 1 to read After Finitude so we'll see what she thinks. I also need some lovers of Kant or full blown Kant scholars to read After Finitude to see what they think about the correlationist vs speculative materialist situation.

I have Busuu, I have the Anki flashcards, I have the Language Transfer content, I am looking to do like 2-3 italki sessions per week... I'm looking to survive Paris in about 3 months. But in reality I may never go to Paris again. Speaking of Paris it's tough to tell over here what exactly is going on over there. Moving to Paris is a pipedream. And I don't really have a choice where I live, at least not yet, at least not for 12 years. I will move to Ohio and that is really the only choice I have. It will not be my spiritual and intellectual homeland but that is ok. I can still access my culture through the internet and there is a good library nearby.

Who knows if this little flourish of French will stick? I don't think I actually have the motivation to keep it up. I'll just have to make it a habit and a custom. It would be so much easier to touch up my German and move to Berlin (another pipedream). I think very few people dream of moving to Ohio. It's not bad. I'll be near family and some friends. The outlook there is brighter than my existence here. I've let my existence here get a little out of hand. I'm just lucky I'm content with going on walks, reading philosophy, and doing math problems all day.

Je veille

avec les chouettes

J'écoute battre le silence

Mon âme guette

Je contemple l'essence du vivant

Mon esprit erre

Je flâne

pour

pour

quelque chose, rien

Me faire revivre

Je suis le prince des rats

Je trotte dans les souterrains à la recherche de pain

En chaque miette, je trouve ma force

Je suis las comme un paresseux

Je me balade dans la gadoue

J'ai perdu ma chaussure

Que ferai-je?

La chaussure est perdue

Que ferai-je?

Je n'en peux plus

Je dormirai dans la boue

Que la vase m'engloutisse

Laisse-moi dormir pendant deux jours

Le bourbier sera mon tombeau

Et la nuit suivante, je ressusciterai comme un vampire

Et je me nourrirai du sang de ton cœur

Je vais te manger le cœur

Accompagnez-le d’un vin rouge de Bourgogne

Boire environ vingt verres

Puis vingt verres de plus

Je suis soûl

J’ai retrouvé mon âme

Je marche sur le monde

Ne t'inquiète pas, ce sera bientôt fini

Il s'est évanoui couvert de vomi

Il flotte un parfum de cœur et de Bourgogne

Pour cette nuit, il s'est éteint

Je flâne, mélancolique, parmi les feuilles d’or

Mon esprit s'égare au souffle de l'automne

Je regarde fixement les tombes dans le cimetière

Un jour, ce sera mon tour

Reposer avec les vers

Manger les pissenlits par la racine

C'est comme ça

C'est la vie, c'est la mort

Un toast à l'existence

Jusqu’à l'extinction des nôtres

une journée à la plage

sentir la brise, observer les oiseaux

trois mouettes et un pigeon

une peste de quiscales

je marche tout doucement

le ciel est d'un bleu éclatant

nul nuage à l'horizon

le seul blanc est la mouette en quête de nourriture

ma faim finit par m'entraîner, moi aussi, dans une quête

l’heure du déjeuner est passée

je veux du pain comme la mouette
