@neauoire is this a Dr. Who reference? Was the same topic brought up there as well? I didn't watch it  @bouncepaw no, it's how they call it in the Machine Stops. @neauoire ah yeah, sure! I had just reread this part before posting the first message in the thread. The lack of the hyphen (tenth-hand) confused me @bouncepaw I don't think many people on the instance have read it, despite my incessant sharing of the text @neauoire I actually think it was someone else who made me remember to read the book, despite your incessant sharing of text. Was it Kartik? @bouncepaw i probably need to read/reread both but im having trouble parsing this sentence @bug so, there is a lecturer in The Machine Stops. Read what he said: https://wiki.xxiivv.com/site/tenth_hand . Note the focus on βremixingβ ideas. In The Glass Bead Game the Castalia society is mostly dedicated to studying old books, βremixingβ and rethinking in the Game, and never producing anything conceptually new. They only find connections between existing things, however detached they may seem. I found these two approaches eerily similar. |
