So it is resistance to resistance? That is to say, an escape from resistance into something perfectly lubricated and all-accepting? The metaphor makes itself.

I hope you have watched the recent Southpark episode about AI ("sickofancy") which, despite the crassness of the genre, has an un-crass, elegantly efficient storyline about gender expectations and spousal language in LLM interactions.

Southpark does occasionally rise above the contrarian crassness. I'll watch the episode.

I enjoy so much how you use our most current technologies and their hype to examine such a huge range of philosophy, science, epistemology, and history. Another great article (I don’t have any resistance to offer, sorry)

The internet, which was supposed to let a hundred social flowers bloom, offers up symptom after symptom. At some point in the last decade, it's become rude to call someone on the phone spontaneously; a text would cause less friction.
