How has this been going? I like the map a lot and am wondering how your commitment panned out.
I feel like this is correctly pointing at a thing. I would also like to try to put it into my words to see what Val thinks about them:
The map/territory analogy illustrates a way to eventually be able to engineer the territory. Engineering the territory is not a goal in itself though so we need to continuously Look to remind us of there being an actually desirable end state. That end state is there, always, we can access it even now. It's just that our current reality will not enable us to access it nonstop and accessing it too much will either kill us...
The lyrics platform genius.com used to want to branch out into education and its annotation function still seems like a valuable feature I would like to see on LW one day. This might ease constant discussion and development of otherwise static content by facilitating commenting, discussions and editing processes in very specified ways.
