@justalexoki “[…] if all centers of awareness were extinguished and the next conscious creature appeared millions of years hence […] Subjectivity would jump that (objective) gap just as easily as it jumps the gap from our last experience before sleep to the first upon awakening.”

@justalexoki “[…] such a suspension of consciousness would seem no different from a normal night's sleep […] In principle a subject could lie dormant for millions of years […] continuity would have been preserved across the eons.”

@visual_linguist Could be "Refinement Culture", an online term for the simplifying of aesthetics as a way of maximizing both marketability and agreeability.

I imagine it's quite pervasive in animations where there's a benefit to having models conform more to the "rubber hose" school of design.

@mpherlihy Seems to be an amalgamation of many quotes by Mazur in his article "On the absence of time in mathematics."

"when one does mathematics one is often inspired by the sense of taking but a tiny part in a sustained conversation..."
