"I'm perfectly willing to concede that I've been too nice in thinking that if you had a thousand parameters maybe you'll get somewhere. maybe you won't. but my concern is different. if the system doesn't distinguish what's the actual World from non-actual world it's not telling us any thing. just as in the case [that] the souped-up periodic table the [deep learning?] systems and others like them can find superficial regularities in astronomical amounts of data and produce something that looks more or less like what their data was but it can do exactly the same thing even better often with data that violates all the principles of language and cognition. so they're just telling us nothing." - Noam Chomsky, 2022 I haven't been too much about Chomsky to date.

We’re heading east this week. Not to the Far East, not the Middle East, but the Near East (no, not Boston). Plenty to dance about with accordions, balalaikas, flutes and drums. Also a lovely polyphony of voices, particularly notable the unique Georgian choruses. Islamic Sufi music is provided by the Aznash Ensemble of Chechnya, with the goal of mystic trance through the repetition of God’s name and attributes – ever faster, ever more intense. Similar to the Gnaoua music of Morocco, the Whirling Dervishes of Turkey, and the voudoun chants of Dahomey (inherited by Cuba and Haiti). God is great, or so they tell me. Oh, and Ukraine and Russia can coexist, separate but equal, as long as it’s on my program. My rules. -J.H. Put another dime in the juke box, Jimmy! - J.V.
