I wanted to keep this post fairly simple and not get into the weeds too much about my personal setup, but since you asked. I use Qubes-OS which in some sense allows having separate computers in one machine [VMs or Virtual Machines]
So I have a personal VM that I never use AI in, and then a different VM for Laan Tungir which is described in the post.
As I develop my key signing software and hardware I will feel out to what extent I'm comfortable having important information encrypted and stored on the internet, and to what extent I will want information air-gapped.
I may also decide at some point to switch from Qubes OS to using different physical computers.

Yeah, exactly. When I am wowed by a book or an mp3 I will duplicate it and spread it.

2026-08-26 14:41:53 UTC

- reply

Yes, exactly.
I am using the term "knowledge" as a general term for all types of information that has causal power, and thus can replicate itself. By causal power, I mean that you can put these 1s and 0s into a computer, and they will reliably cause a computer to effect the physical world around it. One of the things the computer could do is replicate those bits into other media or computers.
So for example the number PI, has "managed to replicate itself" into your brain and mine, into math books, computers, etc. But I want to put that into a different category, and call that mathematical knowledge.
A similar category I would call aesthetic knowledge.
Ava, I know you are a lover of music, so in that realm we have patterns of notes and chords that we find "pleasing", therefore we sing or play them, and thus they replicate to other people (computers).
And when we write a new song, we explore this territory, to find what "works" and what doesn't. I think that Aesthetics is vastly understudied and misunderstood compared to the "hard sciences", so we are stuck in saying simplistic things such as "That sounds good." or "That doesn't work." We struggle to express what we know is there, just like early mathematicians struggled to express what they didn't have good explanations for.
I believe that when Mozart, Beethoven or McCartney struggled and sweated over a line of music to get it "just so", they really were struggling. There was a truth to the matter they were trying to get at. A real artist knows that something literally can be good or not. It isn't just an opinion. Like a scientist, the artist is looking for something that is true, that they don't already know or has already been discovered.
And then, when the artist creates a work that has novel beauty, and our brain experiences that work for the first time, we are wowed. That experience is our brain learning something new, and it is pleasurable because we are programmed to learn.
It is like reading a detective novel and having that "Ahhhhh" moment when everything falls into place. It's like when learning about Darwin's theory of evolution and so much about life on earth falls into place.
It's why young people will often like music that older, more experienced lovers of music find simple or boring. The music can be beautiful, but the more experienced listener already has that knowledge in their head. They have heard that beautiful chord progression many times before, so nothing new is getting created in that listeners brain. They aren't learning anything new. But for the young listener, they need to learn this and go through it, and for them, it is highly enjoyable as it was for you and me early on.
The arts generally though have failed artists in not supplying them a deeper knowledge of the field, or even more importantly, that there is something to actually be right or wrong about.

2026-08-26 13:16:45 UTC

I believe there are types of beauty that objectively exist.
Things that contain objective beauty, tend to replicate themselves more than things that don't.
https://blossom.laantungir.net/9e1a34d64ee5c1155d2a73204604f66d80a0e37177cbc243b0315b0a43f374eb.png
This is a clear definition. There is no "woo-woo" involved here. No relativistic "beauty is in the eye of the beholder".
When I learned this about #aesthetics, it was revolutionary for me. I realized the importance of art, and how it was on a similar footing with science, mathematics, and philosophy. There are truths to aesthetics in our universe that we can uncover. We never say "Physics is in the eye of the beholder." or "Math is in the eye of the beholder." Likewise, we should never slander #art in the same way.
Some patterns of bits contain beauty, and some don't. The ones that do will tend to persist in our universe. They will reliably copy themselves, from brain to brain, from computer to computer, or from painting to camera.
All you have to so is visit a museum, and you can see beauty replicating itself.

Information - Any group 1s and 0s that are stored in an information media.

Knowledge - A particular type of information. These patterns of bits can reliably cause physical changes in the universe, and because of that, this type of information tends to remain instantiated in information media. Examples: Sequences in DNA that make up genes, Newton's first law of motion, Beethoven's fifth symphony, the number PI.

Yeah, so I got a more capable midi controller for my streams. Was hoping to stream this weekend, but unfortunately all my software is tore down as I rewrite it. I was expecting to be done by now, but I'm not ... shocker!
So have you posted the techno track?

People afraid of words,
won't build a free society.
A gift of cyberspace,
is the removal of violence,
leaving just bits,
and a literal safe space.

I think if I were to start a school, I would have the students create an anonymous #NOSTR account, and have them start posting about what interests them.
-- Make it an anonymous account. Anonymity keeps it low stakes and allows you to distance yourself from your beliefs. You don't have to worry about seeming dumb to your friends or family.
-- If nobody is following you (and nobody will be in the beginning), just think of it as a private journal. People keep journals and don't care if anyone ever reads it. There is no reason why you need people to follow you.
Then the entire purpose of the school is to help the students progress and get better at what interests them.
Unlike a traditional school, the teacher is not put first.
Unlike a neo-traditional school, the student is not put first.
In this school, the work is put first. The student is subservient to the work. The chisel shapes the marble, but "chisel to marble" also shapes the student.
The teacher is there to help the student learn the process of removing errors in their thinking.
