Vitalik Buterin did a very funny thing today (https://vitalik.ca/general/2022/06/20/backpack.html), publishing a r/onebag (https://www.reddit.com/r/onebag/wiki/index) informed post on his optimized packing routine at the beginning of the great bear supercycle, breaking a 5 year long streak of

My practice is not one I pretend to understand myself except unpacked in hindsight, I suppose it’s because the forward fringes of the internet experience are precisely what I’m attempting to better understand through my engagements, it generally follows a process of intuition then post-hoc

Hot Pot was a groupchat that existed through the end of 2020 and through 2021, forming the origins of Remilia Collective and as an engine of content and inspiration mined in its projects.

The ways online engagements are currently structured coerces egoism and a splitting-off of subjectivities into their own isolated silos; the proliferation…

Collected coverage from Angelicism01 (https://cashedcobrazhousewriter.substack.com/) on Milady from Summer 2021 to Summer 2022 in reverse chronological order.

Art's highest function is as revelation. Great art acts by removing shrouds, shining light, even undertaking invasive surgeries to restore the onlooker's…

Milady is a very deep iceberg, and if one were to make a chart “Explaining Milady”, at the top would sit its mere visual image, but at the bottom of the iceberg we would find the occult truth: Milady is a summoned egregore nursed from infancy into a network phenomenon.

The deanonymization of polarizing internet writers has become something of a trend in the last few years: Scott Alexander, Mencius Moldbug, Bronze Age Pervert, Angelicism01. And next on the chopping block, Miya Black Hearted Cyber Angel Baby.

Particularly looking at the chat/forum/exocortex, Remco's remilia-net converges at a rather similar end-vision to urbit's, though, in true channer fashion,…

Runaway egregorism (networks of network angels manifesting network archangels and etc) is an important phenomenon to explore but to suggest that it creates deities is blasphemy. God exists in the Wired because God exists everywhere. The network does not create any Gods.

Information wants to be free, culture follows evolutionary flows—viral memetics—and accreditation, provenance, patents, copyright are all burdens that strangle the free flow of the work and ruin its memetic fitness.

The problem of monetizing digital content is reproducible information is effectively infinite in supply, leaving it impossible to price, free like air.

For the art world, last wave of net art died as "post-internet art" in the mid-aughts & has laid dead, largely killed by an oppressive wave of woke politics on art, a censorious entryism inherently intolerant of the actual internet's anarchist heart. !
