I've never found aggregate characterizations very engaging. At the end of the day, I consider myself a hacker, and so I'm interested in how to make and break things. I'm distrustful of (emergent) systems as doing (eh `computing') anything at all. People like Trump or the edge cases of crazy are far more informative about the nature of things. Even the ordinary every day events like the woman who was standing on the corner shredding her shirt into pieces while screaming at the top of her lungs are engaging data points.

I only have a finite amount of time on this earth, most of which is already gone. Reverse engineering synthetic data to fit published summary statistics is SOOOO BORING compared to trying to figure out why a militant Catholic would listen to the opinions of a Scientologist regarding Trump's <flagged>rigorous preparation for combating voter fraud executed by the deep state</flagged>. Maybe empathy is infinite, but my bandwidth for such enticing rabbit holes is not. Why am I drawn to insanity? -- ↙↙↙ uǝlƃ - .... . -..-. . -. -.. -..-. .. ... -..-. .... . .-. .
