Folía

(12 May 2023, Un Teatro)

Dancers’ trim bodies maximise the expressiveness of the messages they transmit. There is little fat to disrupt the message.  Every muscle speaks. Emotion and thought are transmitted reliably and fast.

Humans are large language models. Garbage in, garbage out. One ought to live a life that does not regurgitate others’ regurgitations. One should live. If one does not and trains instead on the same stories that others train on, then—unless one is better at training than everyone else—one is dispensable; it is as if one had not lived. When everyone trains on the same stories that others train on, the society is hierarchical, with everyone ranked according to his ability to train. A highly hierarchical society like this is akin to the world in which everyone is required to make a living by being a professional opera singer while no one wants to hear opera from anyone but the one singer who is the very best; this is an impoverished world.
