In Ursula K. Le Guin's "A Man of the People" (part of "Four Ways to Forgiveness") there's a scene where the Hainish protagonist begins studying history. It's excellent in many respects, but what stood out the most to me was the softly incomprehensible idea of a people with multiple millions of years of recorded history. As one's mind starts to try to trace out the implications of that, it dawns on you that you can't actually comprehend the concept. Like, you read the sentence & understood all the words, and at first you were able to assemble them into what seemed like a conceptual understanding, but as you started to try to fill out that understating, it began to slip away, until you realized you didn't in fact have the mental capacity to build a full understanding and would have you paper things over with a shallow placeholder instead.
I absolutely love that feeling, as one of the ways in which reading science fiction can stretch the brain, and I connected it to a similar moment in Tsutomu Nihei's BLAME, where the android protagonists need to ride an elevator through the civilization/galaxy-spanning megastructure, and turn themselves off for *millions of years* to wait out the ride.
I'm not sure why exactly these scenes feel more beautifully incomprehensible than your run-of-the-mill "then they traveled at lightspeed for a millennia, leaving all their family behind" scene, other than perhaps the authors approach them without trying to use much metaphor to make them more comprehensible (or they use metaphor to emphasize their incomprehensibility).
Do you have a favorite mind=expanded scene of this nature?

It's #GrindayFriday! Brazil's LYMPHATIC PHLEGM are pathological goregrind legends, and their 2007 record 'Show-Off Cadavers - The Anatomy of Self-Display' is my favorite of theirs. Dynamics, melodies, killer riffs- you can hear how they've influenced Lipoma, Sulfuric Cautery, Tunkio, etc.

On the Distortion of Multi-winner Election Using Single-Candidate Ballots
In this paper, we study the distortion bounds for voting mechanisms in multi-winner elections in general metric spaces. Our study pertains to the case in which each voter only reports her favorite candidate amongst $m$ possible choices. Given that candidates' locations are undisclosed to the mechanism, the mechanism has to form a $w-$winner committee based solely on the number of votes received by candidates. We establish distortion bounds for both truthful and non-truthful mechanisms. Our rese…

Calamus 13 "Calamus taste"
A celebration of nature in March, an entreaty to enjoy and nurture growth. Both botanical and metaphorical, our personal growth. Some lovely turns of phrase:
Gushes from the throats of birds
Frost-mellowed berries
But I'm here for the gay reading. The erotic is latent in all this burgeoning spring. But it's also more explicit. That first line "Calamus taste" sure is promising if we understand Calamus as a phallic symbol. Then there's the "pinks of love", the "young persons wandering out in the fields", the "love-buds".
It's not porny or anything but it's a little horny. The physical exuberance of springtime.
This poem got edited heavily down in later versions, and perhaps it needed it. But he eliminated one of my favorite lines, "I must change the strain". Gonna drop that in conversation next time I need to change the topic.

💯💯💯
"If a billionaire bought one of your local haunts, renamed it, humiliated the employees, brought back many of the people who’d been banned for harassing other regulars, eliminated basic rules of decency, started having town halls with Republicans and a leader of the #AfD, taking your business elsewhere would be perfectly rational."
#

Boggles my mind that I can, on a whim, take a day trip to see my favorite building in the world at a great price with several fast trains *per hour*. (Why on a whim? Because I never even considered it, based on the map.) Italian rail is quite something. #Italy25

On The Merit Principle in Strategic Exchange
New fairness notions in align with the merit principle are proposed for designing exchange rules. We show that, for an obviously strategy-proof, efficient and individually rational rule, an upper bound of fairness attainable is that, if two agents possess objects considered the best by all others divided into two equal groups, then at least one receives her favorite object. Notably, it is not possible to guarantee them both receiving favorites. Our results thus indicate an unambiguous trade-off…

What's your favorite term that's not a word, but really should be?

The Klamath has long been my favorite river in California (and a bit of Oregon.)
A week ago I was at the mouth of the Klamath in Redwood National Park/Prairie Creek State park.
I'm glad the Coho salmon are returning to the Klamath so quickly (of all the varieties of salmon, Coho is my favorite. The creek behind my house once supported Coho, but they are essentially gone, although there are occasional reports.)

My favorite historical mystery is “what really happened in the 6th century???”
We have few clues. We know there were at least 2 big eruptions in the 530s, most likely in Iceland, Kamchatka, or Alaska: nowhere with a surviving writing culture. Then a wave of Plague. Then probably other shit no one bothered writing down. It shattered the recording of history for many decades. We will never have a comprehensive history of the “Dark Ages” because no one wrote the pieces.

Sly Stone has passed. He & The Family Stone made so much amazing music.
