Draft 1: Just vocals on my phone.

Draft 2: Added bass and drums, piano

At this point, I feel constrained by the loose rhythm of the phone’s vocal. I will either sync up the other instruments, or accept the above as a proof of concept and restart with a click track with drums. More to come!

I made a backing track to start now, I’ll go back and add vocals then maybe a b section to spice things up. Feeling pretty optimistic about this track.

"I looked off over the still, calm waters, and they seemed to open bright gates of freedom to me; but then I saw my wife's face come up, and I felt her clinging to my arm, and heard her say, 'O, Tom, don't leave me! what'll become of me?' and it seemed as if every hope in my heart withered; and I turned away all sick with longing. O, if I'd only thought of the children! - but I couldn't help it. It's nature stirring, you see, and nature's strong. I tell you, I was kind of crazy, and I'm afraid I don't quite forgive myself for't yet. But it's all past and gone now."

— From Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe, describing Tom's moment of yearning for freedom as he gazes at the Mississippi River at sunrise.

Context: The Mississippi River and Uncle Tom's Cabin

In Uncle Tom's Cabin, Tom is transported down the Mississippi River after being sold by his original owner. The specific location isn't precisely stated in this passage, but Tom's journey takes him through the southern states along the river, eventually ending up in Louisiana.

The Mississippi River flows from Minnesota southward through the central United States, passing through major cities like Minneapolis, St. Louis, Memphis, and New Orleans before emptying into the Gulf of Mexico.

The Gateway Arch

The Gateway Arch is located in St. Louis, Missouri, on the western bank of the Mississippi River. However, it's important to note that the Gateway Arch was built in the 1960s—more than a century after the events depicted in Uncle Tom's Cabin (set in the pre-Civil War era of the 1850s). Tom would not have seen the arch during his journey, as it did not exist at that time.

St. Louis was a significant port city on the Mississippi River during the antebellum period and played an important role in river commerce and the slave trade.

Is this right?

• Theme and tone
• Circles around the question of “Is it ever enough?” and how long we can hold a position or wait.
• Uses playful science and evolution jokes to explore very human anxieties about truth, time, and attention.
• Truth, time, and relativity
• Contrasts the speed of lies with the slow inevitability of “sunrise” truth.
• Recasts failures as the whole story, not a side note, like huddling around a shared fire after a long night.
• Frames disagreement as a measure of relative alignment, not pure opposition.
• Meta about the medium and testing
• Calls out the reader’s device and the “Is this thing on?” feeling of performing to an invisible audience.
• Treats this page as both essay and experiment, with AI links and embeds as part of the point.
• Reads like live calibration of the Atlasser voice: testing how much philosophical weight the channel can carry before it cuts tension with a joke.

Turing is rolling in his grave. The reason the Turing test is just a milestone and not the finish line is because neither the interviewer nor the questioner knows the answers to the question - that is to say, nobody knows what they are talking about 😂. If we’re still calling Intelligence “AI” then we’re early on because there is nothing artificial about math.

I hope none of you ever have to question your own sanity. It is hell. I know why Socrates drank the poison.

If you didn’t understand this, read it again. If you disagree, make an argument that is making contact with my argument or sit down. Be humble. Accept that you’re human like me. Not knowing everything is part of this. Excuses are like assholes, everybody has them and they all stink. Don’t hate yourself for having an asshole, but clean it because I don’t want to deal with your shit.

The proof is in the eating of the pudding — you can’t just say it looks like pudding, and reacts like pudding because thats how you end up with a mouth full of shit. Sometimes we need a taste of shit to realize we don’t like it. I’m quite sure now I don’t like it. Please stop giving it to me.

It is said that upon hearing that Washington had given up power at the end of his second term to go back home, King George remarked that if that were the case he would be the greatest man in the world.

I wonder if he felt like the greatest man in the world. Washington’s mind was probably addled with the threats he threw at the backs of his riflemen - guaranteeing their death if they didn’t stand and fight the Goliath in front of them. I wonder if every bullet that had whizzed past his ear had seemed as charming as the ones that brought him fame. I wonder, what he thought as he lived amongst the slaves at his estate - slaves he felt pressure to free but would only feel able to release upon his death. Did he feel like the greatest man in the world? Teeth rotting from another human in his head.

My mind shifts to the end of Schindlers List. When Schindler is inconsolable, questioning his nazi pin fixed upon his chest which if he had sold may have made a difference when it mattered. Did he feel like someone worth making a movie about?

I always liked the saying “2 cheers for democracy”, the joke being that no-one could quite muster the last cheer.

But maybe then again, it was coming. Maybe with time people could find the energy to redeem us.

On this greatest day of the American tradition, we celebrate what we have in common - love. We accept each other as we are and we believe in the future. On this day we remember what is worth fighting for.

We all can’t help but carry a new world in our hearts. It is our nature to dream. Cheers to the dreamers, those who come from far and wide to the land of opportunity for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

God Doesn’t Play Dice

I once read a delightful anecdote about Oscar Wilde. I believe he was being introduced at a dinner party in France when his host, slipping into French for his fellow guests said something along the lines of “And you’ll forgive Mr Wilde, for he will have to converse in the inferior English tongue!”, to which Oscar responded, reportedly in perfect French “Yes, please forgive me, I will have to lean on the lowly language of Shakespeare”.

I remember a quote that went something like “People used to believe that if you had enough monkeys at typewriters, eventually you could produce shakespeare… The internet proved that wrong”.

My first time hearing it I found it really witty. Then over time I thought, “well, who’s checking”? Who has gone to every monkey’s computer and checked if they produced something worthy of shakespearean highs? What if some monkeys are still typing? What if most have given up and are just flinging poop but there were a couple of very stressed out monkeys onto something?? What if tehy speleld eevry wrod wnrog? Would they get partial credit? Who’s the judge? When would we know? When would the news reach us? Mark Twain said a lie can travel half way across the world before the truth can get its shoes tied.

Do you believe in monkeys?

Null Test

The picture above shows a sine wave. The Y axis is for amplitude. In the context of audio amplitude refers to “volume” or more literally, air pressure concentration.

If you duplicate this sine wave, the amplitude will double, causing it to be much louder to our ears. This is because the peaks are now overlapping with one another and adding up to more signal than there was before. Two trumpets are louder than one trumpet. Makes sense.

But, what if you inverted the signal of ONE of the tracks? That is to say, what if you took every peak and made it a valley, every positive number becomes negative and vice versa. What happens then?

Well if the audio tracks are lined up perfectly in time, it would mean that the original tracks’ peaks would be canceled by the inverted track’s peaks. Every sampled interval would sum to 0.

And that makes sense. Newton was onto something will all that talk of conservation of energy momentum, equal and opposite forces, etc. But the thing is, We’re not all just sitting around in piercing black silence. There is something instead of nothing. So the question is: why?

Prenumbra

Light heads in one direction through a medium, but that doesn’t mean it can’t bounce and scatter in a way that creates a prenumbra. It doesn’t mean that specialized lights such as a source 4 spotlight used in theatre can’t be shuttered (on the opposite side by the way) to change the dispersion of the prenumbra and bright spot. It doesn’t mean that there won’t be chromatic aberration in certain parts of the signal.

Think of the crystalline lens in your eye. It directs the light that reflects toward your eye towards a focal point, a point at which everything is in focus - just like a camera obscura. Your muscles contract to change this focal length as you look around. The light that is sensed as signal by the rods and cones in the back of your head are then transported via the optic nerve to the visual cortex where the data is then transposed into a format we understand - that is to say we orient it and splice it together and see both eyes as one cone of vision in consciousness.

Double slit is no mystery at all.

Superposition

Imagine typing the search “Schroedingers cat is” and seeing the following:

Schroedingers cat is…

Schroedingers cat is… DEAD

Schroedingers cat is… ALIVE

The superposition-ists among us 👀 would say that both are potentially true and false at the same time. But like “potential energy” in newtonian physics, “potentially true” is counter-productive language. Taking a guess between yes and no and saying you’re 50% certain shows you don’t understand the meaning of the word “certain”.

There is an answer to the cat question. The cat is either living or dead. Our ability to measure it does not change this reality. Believing everything to be possible until it is decisively proven otherwise is god of the gaps fallacy.

So what would the “right” answer be? For someone who cannot see the contents of the box, the correct answer is to say “I do not know”. The next person who sees the box may invent X-ray goggles to find out.

Local Highs

It is said that Socrates once met a blind oracle who proclaimed him to be the wisest man in the world. He said, “You’re mistaken, for I know nothing”. To which the oracle replied “You’ve just proven me right”.

The socratic method is the rhetorical version of the scientific method. Both are about posing a question and seeing what will become of the inquiry. Were more discoveries made? Were we wrong? Were we right? The question can be posed by nature itself - what curves will be carved into the river this year by erosion? Which species will survive through random mutation and natural selection? Does that resonate? Is that true?

Time will tell.

But here again language can trick us. Lets say you work for company A. How sure are you that you work there? You have staked your life on the ability to pay a mortgage based on your income from the company. You’ve been there every day for 10 years. And yet, what if tomorrow the plan was to fire you? Do you still work there? Does that sentence mean the same thing now? What % certain are you?

We have to make judgement calls with incomplete information all the time. Think of every person as a search algorithm searching for meaning. Some people will end up in localized highs. Is it all just energy being released back into the universe? Entropy of a mysteriously swinging pendulum destined to cancel itself out, completing the the most banal, meaningless circle? And what we call life was a brief spark of frenetic, useless color and sound…?

There was a book about 15 years ago that was available on airport shelves called The World Is Flat by Thomas Friedman. The core claim of the book was that the network effects of new technology democratized power and that, essentially, all boats rise with the tides.

Something From Nothing

When you light a candle, you are causing a chemical reaction to happen. All energy and mass in each moment is accounted for. Each can be reverse engineered with equal and opposite vector maps. And yet, is there the absence of light? No. It is because the reaction leaves a remnant. This remnant (the light) is directly correlated to the signal that produced it. In other words, the quality of the light is directly tied to the material of wick, the pigments in the room, etc.

Whats the equivalent in the audio example with sine waves? If you remember, we created equal and opposite forces and it created silence, nothing. The absence of signal. But, what happens when you introduce a remnant of this procedure? Something that will carry on in time.

As an example, in logic pro X I recreated our test case. If you introduce reverb in one of the tracks, instead of nothing you get something.

What is reverb? Reverberation is just a series of echoes over time - happening so fast that your mind interprets this as one signal (see granular synthesis for more info, or think of pictures moving to create a movie). You can have the reverb repeat the exact same signal, but often reverb processors are designed to modify the signal - to take away lower and higher frequencies - to introduce distortion or impulse response clapback. In other words, to introduce noise to the remnant’s signal. This makes sense because if you hear reverb in a room, it won’t be the exact same signal bouncing back at you - it will be a warped replica - morphed by a myriad of variables in the room.

Keep Your Eye On The Ball

For the longest time I was not a believer in the explanations presented for the monty hall problem. I felt like people were just getting tricked by the phrasing.

A riddle was posed to me by a family member once:

Three friends pay for a $30 hotel room. The manager realizes the room should have only cost $25 and gives the bellhop $5 to return. The bellhop keeps $2 for himself and gives each friend $1 back, for a total of $3. The friends have each paid $9 ($10 minus the $1 they got back), for a total of $27. The bellhop has $2. $27 + $2 = $29. The riddle asks, "What happened to the missing $1?

I thought the monty hall problem was like this riddle, phrased to be illusory. The switch is done with rhetoric, implicitly swaying the listener’s mind to confuse money that was given and money that was returned.

In reality, the money was always there. 25 dollars to the hotel, 3 returned to the friends, 2 in the bellhop’s pocket. The only reason that the riddle is perplexing is because of the phrasing, or to use another word, framing.

What % chance are you certain it will rain tomorrow? If you have no idea, the answer is not that it is equally likely to be 1%, 2%, 3%, etc.

If the only fact humanity had ever known was that from the time the earth was cooling it had rained for roughly 1/3 of the days, then the best guess we could reason scientifically would be a 33% (or 1/3) figure. If however we learned that during the last 2000 years it has been raining much more, and that is what is responsible for the average skewing towards 1/3. If you just look at the last 2000 years the figure would be closer to 1/2.

Now Occam’s razor would turn. Before we would have reasoned that by best available information it would not rain, and now its a toss up!

Now, lets say that the area you’re currently in is the Sahara desert, and that it has actually only rained in the Sahara 1/20 days since the dawn of time. Now the razor would spin back, well, we can be almost certain now right? Almost certain… 🤔

But then what if you looked outside and saw rain? Would Occam’s advice seem as important as what your eyes could tell you? Would you doubt the sanity of your perception?

Whats that line about all tools being flawed but some still useful? 🍎 Occam’s razor is sharpened each day we accumulate more information, but it is not yet a tool we can lean upon fully. Before we can reverse engineer intuitively we have to do a little more forward engineering.

What if I told you that some tools were meant to be used in tandem? That a razor as beautiful as Occam’s should be accompanied by a counterpart.

Quod gratis asseritur, gratis negatur

Necessity is the mother of invention. The degree to which something may happen, it will. A subtle rephrasing of Murphy’s law - one in which we can acknowledge that not all outcomes are equally likely — in fact — this discounts the string theory, time traveling, multiverse bs lol. Each “decision” is no decision at all. It is simply a chemical reaction where energy is following the path of least resistance. Gravity.

Free will is an illusion. There are no parallel universes. The universe is a chemical reaction, and like physics simulations, it is all simply math. We are atoms, stardust with emergent feeling — the same way as a plant grows towards the sun. This emerging feeling we call consciousness. It is the process that our physical body uses to process information from our senses and make decisions. The brain is a mechanical system like a backend server with a database. With each operation the process goes line by line, moment by moment, streaming through consciousness, being influenced by the stored weights and balances. It creates a remnant, we feel this filtering process working. Its like feeling a dryer hum when you place your hand on it. The vibration produces a sensation, a resonance. The filtering process of readjusting weights needs only one dimension in which to move - positive and negative over time. Consonance and Dissonance. Push and Pull.

Have you ever been very angry only to find you’re actually just hungry? What about anxious, then you realize you need to pee? We contextualize feelings with ideas. What do we covet? We covet what we see every day. Its nurture, naturally.

I Might Just Be The Lunatic You’re Looking For

Perhaps I am just dazzling myself with rhetoric, unknowingly confusing myself for my own amusement. I guarantee you that not all ignorance is bliss.

But I hope that maybe even if I’m wrong it can spark something true. I hope, by god, it resonates with you 🙂

meme = datum

meme + anti-meme = non sequitur (cancellation, silence, no resonance)

meme + meme ~ enthymeme (gestalt, compression) 2+2 = 4. Because we have 4, we can get back to 2 and 2. In other words, we’ve compressed all that meaning into one symbol: 4.

These are some of the first paintings I did - late sept to early Oct. I’ve missed my dogs so much.

Is this thing on?

This was my second album, released in 2018. I wanted to simplify into several songs that would stand on their own. Like 🛫Fever Dream, Some of these are also featured on the 👀Sinner Like Me project. I hope you enjoy!

After this album I took a break from releasing. I was still making music, but much less often. I will be continuing now, so stay tuned! 😊

I wrote this album around 10 years ago. It was my first. I didn’t really promote it at all. I didn’t feel that attached to it after completing it. I’m glad I can look back now though. Some songs were used in the 👀Sinner Like Me project.

I used the name Mary Lion sort of randomly. I remember being at Navy Pier, Chicago circa 2015 and seeing a stained glass art piece with the words Mary Lyon or something. To me it just means good courage, which is what I was going for anyways :)

I used a service to publish it myself and they eventually took it down. This week I decided to put it back up. Its available wherever you listen to music (I hope 😂)
