Part of what I like about co-constructing hyperdoctrines, AI generated video, sauna-cold plunges or Ψ is that they help me to loosen and reconfigure my bindings. I am personally not convinced of anything like actual objects beyond maybe some non-Turing computable grounding stream. Yet like Glen's colleagues and their fiefdoms, I am confronted everyday by individual's defending their crisp boundaries. The economist who is sure that there is not a hundred dollars simply sitting on the ground to be picked up.
When I was young I was easily seduced by bodies of philosophical literature into seeking thinkers that I believed *had it right*. Now I am excited by the great diversity of postures, experiences, and perspectives that are all but alien to me. I am thrilled when I realize new affordances in myself, new modes of being that were not there before. To some extent, this is what I wanted to say about Euler's infinitesimals. I have had quite a few friends that would recommend Deleuze over the years, but it wasn't until I got clear on how different the underlying logic (and encoded sense) of Robinson was from that of Cauchy that Deleuze's thought became accessible to me. This wasn't so much because one has to read Euler and Robinson before they can read Deleuze, but instead because my training in the thought of Cauchy had canalized my bindings in a particular configuration. A configuration that, for me, presented Deleuze as nonsense. I suppose I am imagining a kind of Pascal's wager. If my intuition regarding the non-computable stream is correct, that the universe is endlessly producing novelty while forgetting itself, it only makes sense to revisit the boundaries of one's inevitably constructed objects as an adaptive strategy. If not, well, hey.
