It is essentially a gigantic rave. The live acts are just window dressing anyway.

Bloody hell, never ever give your number to Money Supermarket - I don't know what invisible box I ticked while filling in their "calculator" but I'm now getting a dozen phonecalls trying to sell insurance a day. Shithouses.

No. 37: Emma-Jean Thackray Wakefield, weirdness and The Way with the trumpeting polymath

OKAYYYYYY, there she is, I love doing all of these but there's just something about EJT's crispness of expression and analysis that really zngs off the page here. She's been through a LOT and come through with amazing insight. Also as I say understand her process REALLY brings her records to life.

The dance music made by Richard H Kirk around 1990 is perfect. The lines of transmission through culture, technology, geog- raphy and dancefloors that intersected in Yorkshire created many great things: Warp Records, the bleep, subsonic bass in the rave, LFO, Nightmares On Wax... but as Sweet Exorcist with Richard 'Parrot' Barratt, and briefly as XON with Rob Gordon, Kirk found the ultimate meeting point of all these things as they fed into a geometry so distinct, precise and delightful that, as with a beautiful mathematical innovation, it made you wonder what was invention and what was just stumbling onto some underlying
principle of reality. The choice of collaborators is crucial here. From 1985,

Pursue engagement at the cost of credibility and youโ€™ll deserve neither and lose both.

latterly the virome is exactly the kind of complex systems understanding that is in its infancy and has vast possibilities for changing the way we think and understand the world in radical ways.

That said, I love space flight. Voyager, Cassini, JWST are pinnacles of human achievement.

I am v much with you. I remember about 11 years ago while drunk at a festival saying that big data is going to give us a Darwin of the social sciences, or put Derrida on a scientific footing, and this is the kind of thing that seems even more likely now. The understanding of human microbiome /

I think itโ€™s important to retain optimism about humanityโ€™s destiny. I even think we are innately discoverers. I just fundamentally dispute the notion that โ€œdiscoveryโ€ has to be equated with technological advances or with human beings leaving the only ecosystem known to support us.

As a physicist I can easily calculate time dilation from relativistic motion (time slows when you're moving fast) or proximity to a massive object (time slows in gravity) but I have yet to find a solution for emotional time dilation (the task takes five minutes to complete but six weeks to start) ๐Ÿซ

It has been brought to our attention that some sections of Article 1 are missing from the Constitution Annotated (constitution.congress.gov) website. Weโ€™ve learned that this is due to a coding error. We have been working to correct this and expect it to be resolved soon.
