#fun in the metascape

Same as the "working power" of the brain is not defined by its volume, but merely by its surface area, which relates to the degree of filigree of the brain.
-> The more filligree the brain's structure (the more "quantum foam-like ripples" it offers) the larger the surface area. (Not-so-helpful hint: Use your imagination for that one.)
-> Exaggerated (and ironic) meme format:
...
Also: quantum foam:

34. FINLAND
Aksel - “Looking back”
youtube
I LEGIT typed out “Erika Vikman - “Cicciolina” before realizing she didn’t win. UGH.🙄 It’s definitely *TOO SOON* to discuss “Cicciolina”, especially in this context, but I must, I guess.
Oh and something called “Looking back” won UMK, let’s discuss that too.
Song Analysis
Long before I even knew what an “Erika Vikman - Cicciolina” was, I knew that the song which would later be revealed to be “Looking back” had to be destroyed. Before the artist reveal, YLE posted a list of artists the UMK entrants felt inspired by and one of them (later to revealed to be Aksel’s) literally read “SAM SMITH AND ED SHEERAN”. Like, douse in gasoline and torch it alight, destroy any trace it existed.
And yup, “Looking back” possessed the worst of both upon release: the forgettability of Smith combined with the amorphousness of Sheeran, combining efforts to make a song that sounded vaguely competent upon listen and would be forgotten the second it ended.
Unfortunately, it’s exactly *that* vaguest hint of competence which caused Aksel to beat Erika in the end (well that and the Cantiello Effect of being the only man in a sea of fun female-fronted entries), and ugh. I’m less annoyed by Erika losing (which I expected) than I am that it was *Askel* of all entrants that beat her (was it really that hard to rig for Tika instead?). It always sucks when personality and entertainment is being downvoted for bore-ass conformity. SIGH.
NF Corner
Adding further insult to injury, UMK was pretty good! I know you are ALL longing for my thoughts on Erika, but I will get my other fave out of the way first
Sansa - “Lover view”
youtube
Dreamy trance with an ELABORATE flexing choreography that had absolutely zero chance to finish anywhere but last. 😍 Naming herself after the best GoT character (given the complete assassination of poor Jaime by D&D) It was love at first and last sight to be honest.😍 Becoming a ESCUnited editor has its perks: ie: giving “Lover View” a 10/10 which made it leapfrog over Aksel in the editor poll, right into second place behind Erika. 🤭
Okay, I won’t leave you pining any longer. Le beaujolais nouveau est arrivée: Everybody rise for Eurovision’s most slutastic seraph:
Erika Vikman - “Cicciolina”
youtube
ALL HAIL EMPRESS ERIKA VIKMAN, QUEEN OF CAMP
A TAMER OF HUSBEARS, A PARAGON OF EUROFAGDOM
A LOVER. A FIGHTER. A PHILISOPHER. A PRIEST. AN APOSTLE. A POET.
A HOLY MARTYR WHO DIED FOR OUR SINS .
“Cicciolina” was not a song. it was a religion.
What an epic entrant, enthralling both friend and foe with its alluring siren song. My co-editor Roy thinks She’s one of the 10 cringiest NF acts of the 2020 season - I kindly told Roy to readjust his definition of the word “cringy” before he’s murdered in his sleep. The triptych of The Perfect Eurovision Entry is having an addictive beat, putting on an exciting show and displaying lovable personality quirks and Erika not only passed all three with flying rainbow colours, She redefined the metascape for further camp pearls yet to come. “Cicciolina” was sublime and MY favourite NF flop of the season. I feel blessed for having witnessed Her and being touched by Her righteous hearth-shaped, fushia-spandex, bear-hugging light.
So yes, it is DEVASTATING that She lost, especially to Aksel (to quote Roy again: “why do you hate Aksel, [Looking Back] is just a pop ballad” mhm exactly the problem, bro). So, you may ask yourself, if I resent the idea of Aksel beating Erika, then why don’t I rank Aksel lower than this?
By some weird stroke of luck, I feel sorry for Aksel. Like, here’s the deal with Erika and UMK. She lost. Fair and square and Aksel won, also fair and square. It’s not Aksel’s fault “Cicciolina” emerged as a fan favourite juggernaught. It’s not Aksel’s fault that those godawful HUMOURLESS (heterosexual, jealous) pharisean juries REJECTED the blinding light of St. Erika’s halo (led by the ESTONIAN jury of all people. Fuck, Estonia were evil this year). He was there, he was adequate, and he reaped the benefits due to White Male Mediocrity. I blame not him but those who enabled it to happen. I’d say DIE ESTONIA but they’ve already died in this ranking, in last place where they belong. Anyway, I don’t dislike Aksel or his song. I just wish “Looking back” had more to offer than it being “just a pop ballad”. 🙄
Finland 2020 vs Finland 2021
Aksel would’ve almost certainly NQ’d in Rotterdam (and not just because fan opinion had turned against him. I have this *really* sick feeling that lookism would’ve claimed him and that turns my stomach), which of course makes him beating Erika (who may have NQ’d, but had a very good chance to reach the Grand final), an even bigger sore. You know perhaps the cancellation really WAS divine retribution for Cicciolina losing UMK, I guess we’ll never know, huh?
Anyway, YLE already announced they would go for UMK again in 2021 and made zero mention of Aksel’s future participation, which is... yet another reason why I can’t hate Aksel. He’s being discarded like used toilet paper at every juncture and I so, SO sorry for him. SORRY SOMETIMES I DISCOVER THAT I TOO HAVE A HEART (an angular, plastic fuschia one) AND AM CAPABLE OF SELECTIVE EMPATHY I CANNOT HELP IT, Y’ALL.
but lol @ ranking Finland higher than 35th. You effed big time, pals, consider yourselves lucky ESC2020 never came to pass.
FREAKY! FRIDAY! FACTOR!
The potential for a FREAKY!FREAKY!FREAKY! entry was huge, can you fathom the concept of FINLAND KEiiNO’ing a televote? With a polyester hair bitch in a hot pink spandex and two dancers in kodiak costumes? A smash hit fave that racked up millions of views all over Europe? It would’ve been a RIOT, even in an already meme-heavy year as 2020. Hell even the idea of a fucking “BANANAS” winning (it finished second in the jury vote, somehow??? and I mean, I stan that it did but I’m also... fucking confused that it did?) is enough for some freak-friendly labelling.
Alas, Finland instead went against what the fandom were expected them to do and went with the safe pick. As eyeroll worthy as it was, Erika losing was a huge blindside for the fandom and the shock is worthy of one senhead. I would hand out more if Erika’s loss/Aksel’s win had bookended the shock winner selection streak that Arilena Ara had started, but Bárbara Tinoco decided otherwise. (although Tinoco losing is entirely self-inflicted on her behalf, but we’ll get to that in a while). Oh well.
Score: 1 Senhit out of 5.

Prime Spiral #2 » Cleve’s Corner: Cleve Moler on Mathematics and Computing - MATLAB & Simulink
Prime spiral animation [for further information see attached link]
That is a nice emergent pattern!
I wanna juggle with some thoughts/interpretations about dynamical aspects of the distribution of primes.
Let's see where these ideas will lead... //perhaps nowhere, but I'm #havingFunInTheMetascape!

Recursive brain noodle soup - Parody of paradoxes unrevels its transcending character - Uncoiling the contradictions in a dancing pattern
[This post is rather incomprehensible and incoherent gibberish, but I want to share these fragments of trains of thought nevertheless.]
Truth is neither day nor night. Truth is how day and night are like sine and cosine of the unit helix. Truth is a principle of interactions of all components in a data set. - Welcome to the analogy rollercoaster in the association weaving mill. - Enjoy the mental fuckery. And dont forget to have some fun along the way of getting your brain turned into semi-slimy noodle soup. Remember: "Creativity is intelligence having fun", as Carl Sagan once said it.
- - -- ---
Some days ago I bought this nice orange/yellow hoodie.
I like the "heterogeneous distribution" of the orange and yellow.
Today I attached some patches:
a patch with Euler"s identity/equation
a patch with an ironic dictionary-like explanation of the word Recursion (in german) [Recursion (Latin) see: Recursion]
a patch with the Fibonacci spiral, a patch with the flower of life pattern, a patch with a dodecahedron
AND - At the hood I attached a patch with some lyrics by the somewhat pagan-ish/shamanic-like band Heilung. [It is from their first live album LIFA (Opening ceremony) - Beware that the music by this band might have trance-inducing effects.] - This quote might appear like having a huge religious character. Yet, I don"t interpret it as such. It is an additional interesting plot twist to interpreting all the patches I have attached on that hoodie.
The lyrics on that patch:
"Remember that we all are brothers, All people, And beasts and trees, And stone and wind, We all descend from the one great being, That was always there, Before people lived and named it, Before the first seed sprouted."
How I interpret these lyrics: I ignore all details and think about the main principle(s) stated. According to that method, I translate these lyrics to:
"We all stem from the same. (->Darwin"s evolution ) We are all connected by the same rules of nature, and we all emerged by the same rules of nature. (This is difficult to explain and summarize... in short, I refer to interactions in dynamical systems and emergence. Rules of nature include laws of physics and all other sciences.
These laws of nature could be imagined as guiding principles for the metaphorical game of life, like a vague instruction how life should uncoil itself. )
These rules of nature already existed before we could discover them (alias "before we named them")"

Miri and I had the best (silliest) idea for the tipi we live in: putting a shield in front of the "door"/entry with the following thought gibberish:

My art series "Cubic extraction of the hyper-spherical plane"
(Very surreal and twisted title, I know...)
I think it's shapeshifting of interpretations/perspectives. (Some thoughts I stated in the grey description boxes are rather silly considerations.)

Weird surreal art ideas: "Quantum foamies" - 3d jigsaw puzzle pieces as fragments/pieces of quantum foam.
Weird speciality: The jags of the puzzle pieces relate to probabilities - as either 1 (out) or 0 (in).
I want to draw some weird manifolds according to that idea now. On the left of the attached photo I tried to indulge into this mess of thought gibberish, but it exceeded the available space on that piece of paper - and I lost my focus once again.
Plus I had another silly art idea: A box of puzzles with the title "Quantum foamies - Quantum foam puzzles for curios entities (aged 999+)" [referring to some reincarnation jokes here]

Put that into recursive loop mode, and I'm in!
(Until it loops into itself (like a tangled hierarchy (referring to the book Gödel Escher Bach here)) and becomes an iterative rendering process of cyclically updating the big picture by the dynamical implementation of details...)

Laughing about my own macabre puns like I have nothing else to laugh at *looks in the mirror* Ah, yes, that's another thing to laugh at.
- me in the 8th layer of meta-cognition: Well, that depressed fucker is attempting to have some fun down there. They will be sent a real rush of happy neurotransmitters as gift for their effort of "fake it til you make it".
- yepp, that's literally how it works for me - 'projection humor' - if there is nothing to laugh about, pretend there is. Use this very effective placebo whenever needed. Fooling your self-sabotaging mind is often the best option to help yourself get outta that hole if no other options are available and/or sufficient...
