Thermodynamic War Transfer ๐ŸŸฆ๐ŸŸฅ
China modernised by adopting Western technological categories without developing its own philosophy of technology. As Heidegger wrote in his Black Notebooks, China became โ€œfree for technologyโ€, absorbed by it and unable to question it from within its own cosmology.

โ€œThe East, in particular, took hold of Hegelโ€™s philosophy of history in the same way it took hold of the atomic bomb and other products of the Western intelligentsia in order to realize the unity of the world in accordance with its plans.โ€

The glory of the glossa
In 1831, Michael Faraday discovered that a changing magnetic environment could produce an electric current.

Decades later, James Clerk Maxwell turned Faradayโ€™s physical insight into a mathematical theory and found something extraordinary. Electric and magnetic fields could travel through empty space as waves. In his 1865 theory, their predicted speed matched the known speed of light, revealing light as an electromagnetic phenomenon.

The derivation above follows that idea in its modern form. From Faradayโ€™s law and the Ampรจreโ€“Maxwell law comes the electromagnetic wave equation and the result (v=c). The same electromagnetic physics lies behind radio, television, mobile communication, Wi-Fi, radar and the light carrying information through modern technology.

What began as experiments with coils and magnets became a theory of light itself.

Space is speech
How much energy does empty space contain?

Our two best theories give answers that differ by a number with up to 120 zeros.

Quantum theory says empty space is never truly empty. Every field, for every particle, keeps jittering even at its lowest energy, and all that jitter rgy in every cubic metre of space. Add it up in the simplest way and the result is enormous.

Gravity disagrees. Energy curves space, so that much vacuum energy would have torn the universe apart before a single atom could form. When astronomers finally measured it, in 1998, they found the energy of empty space is tiny: about the mass-energy of four hydrogen atoms per cubic metre.

The simplest estimate is too large by roughly 10^120. Some physicists argue that figure is crude, and that careful calculations shrink the gap to about 10^55. Even that is the largest mismatch between theory and measurement anywhere in science.

Nobody knows why. Perhaps hidden effects cancel almost perfectly. Perhaps we live in one of countless universes, and only one with a tiny value could host life. In 1987, Steven Weinberg used that reasoning to predict a small but non-zero value, eleven years before it was measured. Many physicists find the argument unsatisfying all the same.

The deeper question is what "empty" means. If nothing can contain energy, then nothing is something, and we do not yet understand what it is.

Dredging up Diggerโ€™s Girardian Code
The waterlogged sci-fi fable is a mirror for techno-princes.

- - -

...Baudrillardโ€™s corrective is hardly to shore up de-Christianizing nations susceptible to the Antichrist with nationalist conservative values.

To the contrary, Baudrillard insists that the event horizon of the simulacrum is already closed, the catastrophic implosion of the world system is already in progress, and the inescapable aftermath will slowly transition everyday life from a hypernormal state of perpetual emergency to a gigafried gray reset. Baudrillard highlights what Thiel prefers to occlude: because only technique can strongly simulate a substitute for Spirit, the totalitarian safety system can only run on ever more escalated technologizationโ€”a strategy that must implode because the last remaining threat to safety must necessarily be that posed by the complete consumption of all subjects by one, unitary, total technological object. In this sense, for Baudrillard, cybernetics is already useless; the only system that can now be useful is the most useless one: pataphysics, the science of imaginary solutions.

But another way of saying this, perhaps, is that the seeming superintelligent obsolescence of cyberneticsโ€”wherein โ€œwhat such machines offer is the spectacle of thought, and in manipulating them people devote themselves more to the spectacle of thought than to thought itselfโ€โ€”can only be salvaged pataphysically, by the introduction into cybernetic control systems of the one thing that would logically seem to be most incompatible with cybernetic controls.

This is what Digger, in its relentless elaboration of the unceasingly unsustainable and the perpetually imploding, silently recommends: neither the fake Christianity of performative prayer nor the national-conservative values of calling in the airstrikes and nepotistic resilience; neither the frenetic conversion of excessive energy into mimetic distractions nor the rationing of depleted spiritual power for rote moments of canned catharsis. Neither the turbo-American Digger regime nor the post-apocalyptic bog of global Europoverty provide a salubrious model of technopolitical governance.

Is Iรฑรกrrituโ€™s not-so-secret third thingโ€”whether he knows it or notโ€”merely the reintroduction of at least some spiritual authorities we can trust into the upper echelon of technological system controls?

Some very relevant $PLTR articles and videos on Palantir's decision to support Israel๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡ฑ:

Alex Karp, the CEO of Palantir, says he learns about a foiled terrorist attack in Europe almost every week.

He added: "I believe that if those terror attacks had happened, you'd have a very lity, and that is super motivational."
businessinsider.com/palantir-ceo-aโ€ฆ

-------------------------------------------------------

2020 @nytimes article:
Karp said from a young age that his background made him vulnerable (His father is Jewish; his mother is African-American): โ€œYouโ€™re a racially amorphous, far-left Jewish kid whoโ€™s also dyslexic โ€” would you not come up with the idea that youโ€™re [expletive]?โ€

Karp said: If the far right came to power, he would certainly be among its victims:
โ€œWhoโ€™s the first person who is going to get hung? You make a list, and I will show you who they get first. Itโ€™s me. Thereโ€™s not a box I donโ€™t check.โ€

His fear, he said, โ€œpropels a lot of the decisions for this company.โ€
nytimes.com/interactive/20โ€ฆ

-------------------------------------------------------

In Karp's interview at the World Economic Forum, he said that Palantir Gotham singlehandedly "stopped the rise of the far right in Europe."
