Sigh...their are a bunch of things about this thread...I just can'tness 4Chan started as a buliten board a long time ago- as far as I know it's mostly Anonymous talk for the collectives: PhpSec and Anoynouse for sure. I think the other factions got booted off around 2012 or so for being to extreme

Well, I agree completely about not requiring pre-approval for a segue. I go even further and don't see the need even for recognition that the transition has taken place. And I wouldn't know a segue if it hit me in the face. With deep fakes and auditions for roles like political candidates or

I think generative learning (e.g. for deep fake videos) could capture Hendrix or Page. Studying the deviations from the likely governing equations could be interesting (and probably could be quantified) but it also just could be some idiosyncratic bit of developmental history that means

Hm. As shallow as I think Trump is, or as much as I think Warren is a gaming politician, I don't think any of it is (merely) a distraction. I'm rather fond of the concept of code switching (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code-switching) and it's extrapolation into other domains (e.g.

Aha! OK. If we view stories as constrained in some way, then it's easy for me to agree with you. For example, if Little Red Riding Hood is only about wolves and people, then it really doesn't matter how well the story is acted. But if it's *also* a more occult story about trust and the wolf

The "topic" is the content of the story, and there has to be some mutual understanding about it by the writer/director/actor/audience for it to mean anything. It seems like the potential importance of the "role" is to say some messages can't be communicated without an actor who is taken to

OK. Again, I don't think I disagree with (what I think) you're saying. But I am having trouble understanding why this is related to the difference between an undercover LEO versus a method actor. Are you willing to connect the dots more explicitly? Although I agree with the gist of what

I was struggling to find something to disagree with. 8^) But of course, I found it. A story is not (purely) imaginary nor a (mere) reformulation of past experience. I think it's part-and-parcel of consciousness, whatever that is. We tell ourselves stories all the time, big and small ones.

A story is imaginary or a reformulation of past experience. It's written down and static. A story has to fit together or else it is not a story, it is improvisation. A LEO would have to model the situation and estimate what risks she was prepared to take and to reconcile her job with her
