@eli_oat I'm not sure if you've seen this yet, or how interested you are in hebrew, but I thought you might like this: youtube.com/watch?v=44FutoWme8

The referenced talk is very good: youtube.com/watch?v=6_aFvmY8Zb

@neauoire thanks for sharing this!

This was a fun watch.

It also reminded me how, once upon a time, when I was young and naive I thought I wanted to be a rabbi (narrator, it would turn out that he did not want that at all), and on that path I once wrote a (terrible) essay on et as a holographic term, a word from which you could build anything else, and, that tried to posit how, if you could build anything from et, you could store anything in it, too...which is weirdly computer-y in vibe.

@eli_oat did you write that essay after watching Pi?

eli_oat

@neauoire lol, it was honestly probably ripe in my brain. I almost 100% wrote that essay within a month of having watched The Fountain.

@neauoire @eli_oat so cool. tangentially reminds me of one of my favorite comic panels

A comic book where the pages of Destiny's book contain the subsequent frames from the story itself.

@neauoire @eli_oat I'm sure you guys know about Toki Pona? I tried to make my own little 4 letter language inspired by that: move.rupy.se/file/talk.txt

@tinspin @eli_oat Nice, you mean that you picked 4 letters english words? Are you thinking of using the :toki: :pona: words? Or the hebrew alphabet primitives?

tinspin

@neauoire @eli_oat Yes, I'm avoiding new characters (for now, I had some emoticons made) and instead use a 5-bit alphabet. Still watching the video on hebrew!
