POPULARITY
De faller genom luckor och snö och trillar genom dolda dörrar. Peter K Andersson funderar över förflyttandets lätthet i 1900-talets äventyrsberättelser. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Att resa i verkligheten lever sällan upp till resor i fantasin. Det som för mig är tilltalande med resor som företas i fiktionen är att de ofta är fria från de bestyr som tenderar att förstöra nöjet och spontaniteten i det verkliga resandet. När Dr Who kliver in i sin TARDIS och reser till vilken plats som helst i historien eller världsrymden, eller varför inte när Alfons och hans pappa lyfter från vardagsrummet i en fantasihelikopter och genast börjar flyga över en djungel – då kringgår de behändigt allt det som präglar resandet för oss andra, från säkerhetskontroller och tunga resväskor till trånga flygplanssäten och transitbussar. I en av mina favoriter bland de böcker som jag brukar läsa för min treåriga dotter, Patrik och flygmaskinen av Ulf Löfgren, bestämmer sig huvudpersonen, en karsk liten pojke, för att bygga en flygmaskin så att han kan hämta hem sin pappa, som är fast på en söderhavsö. Och när han har bestämt sig för att göra det, så gör han det. Han bygger flygmaskinen utan problem – tack vare att den drivs av en dammsugare behöver han inte tänka på bränsle längs vägen – och sen ger han sig av. Han flyger över hav och stora städer, och äter en macka när han känner sig hungrig. Och så efter ett par sidor ser han sin pappa nere på ön där han är strandad. Sen åker de hem. Tänk om det kunde vara så enkelt i verkligheten! Jag tror att det är en ganska ursprunglig mänsklig dröm som den här typen av berättelser ger utlopp för. Att bara kunna ge sig iväg, obunden av vardagen eller nationsgränser. Äventyrslusten finns förstås tydligast i de gamla äventyrsromanerna av Jules Verne eller Robert Louis Stevenson, men där tvingar också den eftergift åt trovärdigheten som barnböckerna är fria från författarna att berätta om förberedelserna inför resan, det årslånga byggandet av den märkliga farkosten. I de berättelser som riktar sig mer explicit mot barn eller ungdomar har ett underbart berättartekniskt grepp blivit etablerat. Det är ett grepp som även letat sig in i vuxenfiktionen. När handlingen kräver en vändpunkt uppenbarar sig någon typ av hål i den fysiska värld som omger huvudpersonen. Det är kaninhålet i Alice i Underlandet, men förflyttat till en igenkännbar verklighet blir det nästan ännu mer egendomligt och tydligt som en portal mellan två dimensioner.Den här typen av vändningar är Tintinberättelserna väldigt bra på. Tintin faller ständigt genom olika dolda falluckor eller hittar lönndörrar på de mest osannolika ställen. I Tintin i Amerika finns en tidig och smått surrealistisk variant när Tintin helt sonika faller igenom en fallucka i trottoaren på en livligt trafikerad gata i Chicago. Hur kunde skurkarna veta att han skulle ställa sig just där? Den här sortens lite oslipade berättarknep ger de tidiga Tintinalbumen en stundtals drömlik atmosfär, men knepet återanvänds i senare album i en form som är mer integrerad i händelseförloppet. I Tintin i Tibet faller både Tintin och kapten Haddock flera gånger ner genom hål i snön, i Solens tempel faller Tintin genom ett vattenfall till en grotta som gömmer sig bakom det, i Plan 714 till Sydney faller Tintin på likartat sätt ner i ett underjordiskt tempel. Tintinalbumen är också fyllda av olika hemliga dörrar och öppningar till oväntade rum. I Enhörningens hemlighet bryter sig Tintin ut ur en fängelsehåla med en murbräcka bara för att hamna i ett väldigt rum fyllt med antikviteter. I Faraos cigarrer håller knarkligans högkvarter till bakom en dold dörr i en palm, och i Blå lotus är ständigt frågan vad som finns bakom det mystiska skynket längst in i opiumhålan.Den här typen av vändpunkter ger ofta Tintinäventyren en labyrintartad karaktär. Den rumsliga orienteringen upphävs och en dörr eller ett hörn kan leda vartsomhelst. Skurkarnas högkvarter befinner sig ofta bakom dörrar eller, som i Tintin hos gerillan, bakom en tvåvägsspegel. Huvudskurken ses ibland sittande framför en tv-skärm varifrån han bekvämt kan iaktta händelseförloppet, utan att det förklaras var han befinner sig. Det är ett fantasifullt grepp som vi förstås också känner igen från James Bond. Om vi skulle räkna upp alla falluckor som han ramlar igenom – ofta medan han går mot en vacker kvinna – skulle vi behöva mer tid på oss. Att det här greppet är så vanligt i två av 1900-talets mest kända serier av äventyrsberättelser är inte konstigt. Både James Bond och Tintin har sina rötter i den populärfiktion från det tidiga 1900-talet som bidrog till att etablera den här typen av dramaturgiska genvägar. Man kan hitta prototyper i Sherlock Holmes och annan 1800-talsfiktion, men det är tydligt att upprinnelsen i själva verket ligger i teaterns värld snarare än det skrivna ordets. Att på ett trovärdigt sätt skriva in en fallucka i en roman är inte lätt, men att använda scengolvets inbyggda fallucka som en oväntad vändning i handlingen är fullt logiskt – och publiken hinner förmodligen inte ens reagera på bristen av trovärdighet. I de melodramer som spelades på de populära teaterscenerna i sent 1800- och tidigt 1900-tal skrevs luckor i golvet gärna in i handlingen – inte sällan som ett sätt för skurkarna att gömma undan sina kidnappningsoffer. I den vanliga mytologiseringen av Chinatown som finns i amerikanska teaterstycken från sekelskiftestiden skildras stadsdelen som byggd ovanpå ett helt system av hemliga tunnlar där allsköns ljusskygga aktiviteter försiggår, en restprodukt av myten om den gula faran som fortfarande dyker upp i filmer emellanåt.Är dessa falluckor och hemliga tunnlar besläktade med äventyrslust och drömmerier? I populärfiktionen används de helst som en antydan om någonting olycksbådande som ligger gömt där man minst anar det. Men i dess överraskningseffekt finns kanske också drömmen om gränsöverskridandet och transcendensen Det skrämmande och okända bär ju som bekant ofta på en samtidig hotfullhet och lockelse. Att plötsligt förflyttas från en plats till en annan genom en osynlig öppning i omgivningen är väl den mest avskalade bilden av längtan bort som man kan tänka sig? Men om det hade skett i verkligheten skulle vi nog knappast reagera med Alices jämnmod. Nej, vi kanske behöver passkontrollerna och köerna och transitbussarna för att inte förflyttningen ska överväldiga oss. Drömmen om det spontana plötsliga resandet kan få vara kvar i böckerna. Men där bör det i alla fall finnas, så att även framtida generationer av barn kan krypa upp i en fåtölj och falla genom hål till oväntade platser.Peter K Anderssonhistoriker

Welcome to Stupid Hearts Club. The Entertainment Community for everyone with a creative, open, loving, romantic and gloriously stupid heart!-------------------Hey there my Stupid Hearted angels.Alice Lowe is possibly the most fruitful creative person I know. In fact, when I went to her house, even her actual fruit bowl contained turnips, bananas, peppers, a pomegranate and much much more. I think that image kind of works as a very strong analogy for her output. As the reigning indie queen of UK cinema Alice has already delivered three cult classics with Sightseers, Prevenge and last years Timestalker, and in my opinion she is only just getting going.This chat is part 2 of a recording I did when I visited her near Stroud in my camper van Linda. This weeks chat is more about Alices career and our shared (and differing) experiences as UK writers in and around the world of comedy and the arts.It's a fantastic conversation that any budding or (struggling) creative will benefit from. There is a section of the conversation that is a little compromised by a zip or a button tapping Alices mic that I could not get rid of as it's woven into her words. So sorry about that, but I still think its v listenable, and Alices wisdom and wit will see us all through.EnjoyyyyStupid Hearts Club Forever Baby-------------------If you enjoy what I do and would like to help support all the time and effort I lovingly put into the world of Stupid Hearts Club, which now includes, podcasts, live music events, music collabs and more, then please consider becoming a paid subcriber to my Patreon!

Har jobbet enbart blivit ett medel till någonting annat? Eva-Lotta Hultén reflekterar över arbetets oväntade betydelse i ett liv. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna.Mitt första arbete var som städerska på min pappas kontor sommaren när jag var sexton. Jag tömde papperskorgar, svabbade golv och försökte störa människorna vid skrivborden så lite som möjligt. De flesta var vänliga och flyttade på fötterna så jag skulle komma åt. Ett par gånger fick jag sliriga kommentarer av en man men jag sa inget om dem till min far. Varför gjorde jag inte det? Tänkte jag att det är sånt man får tåla som städerska? Var jag kanske på sätt och vis lika föraktfull som han som fällde de snaskiga kommentarerna?En ung tjej som just gått ut gymnasiet började i arbetslaget samtidigt som jag och jag utgick från att hon liksom jag bara skulle sommarjobba. En dag frågade jag vad hon skulle göra sedan. Hon såg oförstående på mig och sa att hon fått fast jobb. Min språngbräda till en skidresa var hennes alldeles vanliga golv och hon var glad över det och tyckte om att städa. Till skillnad från kontorsmannen hade jag vett på att skämmas över mina ogenomtänkta ord.Efter kontorsstädningen följde en lång rad extrajobb; inom hemtjänst, som hotellstäderska, servitris, vårdbiträde på demensboende, lärarvikarie och telemarketingoperatör. I hemtjänsten fick jag fick gå och handla med gamla damer, konversera åldringar som var övertygade om att Palmemordet skett utanför deras fönster och lämna mat till människor som aldrig gick utanför sina lägenheter. Jag lärde mig om misär, omsorg och åldrande kroppar; om värdighet och ensamhet och hur man tröstar någon som brutit lårbenshalsen och väntat på hjälp på sitt vardagsrumsgolv i ett helt dygn.Men under 90-talet kom neddragningarna. De gamla blev till tidsblock i tajta scheman. Det fanns inte längre utrymme för att baka eller gå och handla med någon. På demensboendet skulle allt mindre personal ta hand om allt mer skröpliga äldre. En natt fick en av mina kollegor ensam hantera att två av åtta åldringar dog.Det sägs ibland att det finns i ett ointresse för arbetarklassen i medie- och kultursfären, men inom litteraturen är ändå arbetartemat levande. Litteraturprofessorn Åsa Arping formulerar i boken ”Att göra klass” en intressant analys av några moderna romaner om tillfälliga jobb i typiska arbetaryrken. I Måns Wadensjös ”Monopolet” tar den högutbildade Alice i väntan på rätt erbjudande jobb på Systembolaget. Arping skriver att det finns något storögt över Alices möte med butiken och skriver: ”Hon noterar fascinerat hur kroppen förändras av arbetet och alltmer börjar likna en fantastisk maskin, en samling kroppsdelar som hon skulle kunna använda till nästan vad som helst.” Det är en alienation som jag kan känna igen från de jobb som jag tyckt varit tråkiga. Som städerska och telefonförsäljare blev jag en automat.I Jack Hildéns ”Vi, vi vaktmästare” vill Eskil spara ihop pengar till en långresa och i Sara Beischers ”Jag ska egentligen inte jobba här”; får den unga Moa som vill bli skådespelare, arbete i hemtjänsten. Åsa Arping konstaterar att karaktärerna i de tre romanerna delar en inledande distans till arbetet men vårdbiträdet Moa går från att betrakta de äldre som lite motbjudande och kollegorna som losers, till att känna stolthet över sitt arbete. Det är detta jag tycker så mycket om med Beischers bok; Moa lär sig se sitt arbete som viktigt. Berättelser om den här typen av erfarenheter filtreras inte sällan genom människor som egentligen vill göra något annat – som att skriva romaner. Äcklet inför jobbet, eller föraktet för dem som leder eller utför det, skiner igenom.Men Åsa Arping hittar också en gemensam lärdom för de tre huvudkaraktärerna: att arbetet är betydligt mer än själva uppgifterna. Det kräver en emotionell investering och en vilja att skapa fungerande relationer: till kunder, omsorgsmottagare och arbetskamrater.Mina vårdjobb är, tillsammans med lärarvikariaten, de som allra starkast gett mig en känsla av mening; någon behövde hjälp och jag hade förmånen att få ge den.Men stämmer det, som Mats Ekdahl hävdar i boken ”Jobbet” att unga människor inte längre ser arbete som en möjlig väg till självförverkligande och lycka? Jag vet inte, men konsumtionsforskaren Katarina Graffman menar att det är fel att prata om dagens unga som en generation Greta; alltså en generation av klimatengagerade samhällsförbättrare, och att vi snarare har en generation Bianca; unga vars drömmar handlar om konsumtion och om att genom entreprenörskap snabbt bli rika. Alltså mål som inte alls handlar om arbetet självt utan om vad det kan ge i form av pengar och status.Sådana drömmar riskerar att leda till många sorters krascher: för miljön med överkonsumtion; för samhället med låg status för viktiga yrken och för individen när orealistiska mål inte kan nås. Att låtsas att alla kan bli vad de vill är att ställa för höga krav på unga människor, menar Mats Ekdahl. Han föreslår att de i stället ska uppmuntras att pröva sig fram och se var de hamnar. Med självinsikt kan de se till att deras begåvning kommer till sin rätt, vilket skänker både en känsla av kompetens och av att bidra till det större system som den mänskliga gemenskapen utgör.Mina extrajobb inom vård och skola fick mig att förstå vad samhället gick ut på och gav mig stolthet och känsla av sammanhang och mening. Till och med det arbete jag tyckte allra sämst om, som telemarketingoperatör med uppdrag att boka in besök av transportsäljare på olika företag, gav mig kunskaper och insikter jag haft glädje av. Till exempel förstod jag hur destruktivt det kan vara för en grupp att försätta människor i tävling mot varandra; och hur själsdödande det är att utföra arbetsuppgifter som man upplever helt saknar värde, både för en själv och ur ett samhällsperspektiv. I valet mellan höga inkomster och sysselsättning som känns viktig har jag efter det jobbet alltid valt det senare och jag önskar att alla hade den möjligheten.Jag gjorde mina jobb som ung och jag tjänade pengarna jag längtade efter men jobben gjorde också mig. Relationer förändrar vår syn på oss själva och på världen; de ger oss nya normer och värderingar. Det var vad som hände mig som ung. Då tänkte jag att det var resorna som jag gjorde för pengarna som skulle ge mig minnen för livet. Jobben var bara ett nödvändigt ont. Det är först i efterhand som det blivit tydligt hur oerhört mycket dessa arbeten format mig och mina senare val i olika sammanhang. Relationerna de erbjöd fick mig att förstå att detta att vara mänsklig är att ha omsorg om varandra. För det är jag ytterst tacksam. Utan dem hade jag delvis blivit en annan och troligen sämre version av mig själv.Eva-Lotta Hulténförfattare och journalist

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Failures in Kindness, published by silentbob on March 27, 2024 on LessWrong. There's a particular kind of widespread human behavior that is kind on the surface, but upon closer inspection reveals quite the opposite. This post is about four such patterns. Computational Kindness One of the most useful ideas I got out of Algorithms to Live By is that of computational kindness. I was quite surprised to only find a single mention of the term on lesswrong. So now there's two. Computational kindness is the antidote to a common situation: imagine a friend from a different country is visiting and will stay with you for a while. You're exchanging some text messages beforehand in order to figure out how to spend your time together. You want to show your friend the city, and you want to be very accommodating and make sure all their preferences will be met. So you simply ask them: "What do you want to do"? And maybe you add "I'm completely fine with anything!" to ensure you're really introducing no constraints whatsoever and you two can do exactly what your friend desires. People often act like this, and they tend to assume they're doing the other person a favor by being so open and flexible. After all, this way the other person will have to make no trade-offs and can spend their time exactly as they please. The problem with this however is that it's computationally unkind: it offloads all the effort of coming up with ideas and making decisions to the other person. So while it is kind on one level (respecting their object level preferences), it's unkind on another (effort, and respecting their possible meta level preferences about the planning process). And particularly if the friend's preferences about what exactly to do are not that strong, it now gives them a difficult and uncertain task for very little payoff. So what's the computationally kind way of approaching this situation? You could name a (not too long) list of concrete proposals of how you could spend your time. If you know the person really well, you could suggest a full-fledged plan. If you don't know them that well, you could ask a few clarifying questions about their general preferences and then come up with a plan. And on top of this (rather than instead of it) you can make sure to point out that you're open to anything and are happy to change plans in any way. This way, the other person can decide themselves how much cognitive effort to invest. They can just say "yes" to your proposal, or can suggest some adjustments, or even come up with an entirely new plan if they really want to go that far. Responsibility Offloading[1] A somewhat similar pattern to computational kindness is that of offloading responsibility. Imagine Alice and Bob, two friends who are just getting to know each other better, are hanging out at Alice's place. It's getting late, but they're having a fun time. Bob is unsure about whether and when Alice wants him to leave, but he's fine with staying much longer. So he playfully says "By the way - feel free to throw me out any time! I've got tomorrow off, so am flexible, but just let me know when you've had enough of me". Sometimes this is indeed a good move. Particularly when Bob knows that Alice is an assertive person who doesn't shy away from stating her preferences. But there are cases where this puts a big burden on Alice. Imagine Alice is generally rather insecure and indecisive. She now has to feel solely responsible for terminating the hangout. This is now something on her plate that she has to think about and decide, and communicate to Bob eventually in a non-offensive way. There are Alices out there who would be rather stressed out by this, and who would prefer Bob to carry that responsibility, or to have the two of them figure it out together.

Since the first translations of Lewis Carroll's Alice books appeared in Japan in 1899, Alice has found her way into nearly every facet of Japanese life and popular culture. The books have been translated into Japanese more than 500 times, resulting in more editions of these works in Japanese than any other language except English. Generations of Japanese children learned English from textbooks containing Alice excerpts. Japan's internationally famous fashion vogue, Lolita, merges Alice with French Rococo style. In Japan Alice is everywhere—in manga, literature, fine art, live-action film and television shows, anime, video games, clothing, restaurants, and household goods consumed by people of all ages and genders. In Alice in Japanese Wonderlands: Translation, Adaptation, Mediation (U Hawaii Press, 2023), Amanda Kennell traverses the breadth of Alice's Japanese media environment, starting in 1899 and continuing through 60s psychedelia and 70s intellectual fads to the present, showing how a set of nineteenth-century British children's books became a vital element in Japanese popular culture. Using Japan's myriad adaptations to investigate how this modern media landscape developed, Kennell reveals how Alice connects different fields of cultural production and builds cohesion out of otherwise disparate media, artists, and consumers. The first sustained examination of Japanese Alice adaptations, her work probes the meaning of Alice in Wonderland as it was adapted by a cast of characters that includes the “father of the Japanese short story,” Ryūnosuke Akutagawa; the renowned pop artist Yayoi Kusama; and the best-selling manga collective CLAMP. While some may deride adaptive activities as mere copying, the form Alice takes in Japan today clearly reflects domestic considerations and creativity, not the desire to imitate. By engaging with studies of adaptation, literature, film, media, and popular culture, Kennell uses Japan's proliferation of Alices to explore both Alice and the Japanese media environment. Jingyi Li is a PhD Candidate in Japanese History at the University of Arizona. She researches about early modern Japan, literati, and commercial publishing. Learn more about your ad choices.

In episode 65, we continue our discussion of creating costumes, but this episode focuses more on costumes for rec classes and lower cost options for customizing your costumes!Custom isn't always feasible: Not every dance piece calls for a custom costume due to budget constraints. We begin by discussing the choreographer's vision and create Pinterest boards to capture the desired look and vibe.Mix & Match Magic: For Hip Hop and Tap, we often mix and match streetwear elements, selecting a color scheme and purchasing items to style creatively. Amazon, Urban Outfitters, ASOS, and more are our go-to resources.Crafty Touch: We love crafting sashes, corsages, capes, and other accessories to add a unique touch to basic costumes.Year-End Show (Rec Class) Costumes:Catalog Curation: Limiting the number of costume catalogs used streamlines the process and facilitates exchanges and coordination.Customization: We select pre-made costumes for most themes, but sometimes we can't find the perfect fit. In these cases, we get creative. For instance, for an "Alice in Wonderland" theme, we paired a blue dress from the catalog with custom white aprons, resulting in adorable Alices.Theme-Specific Customization: "Are You Madder than a Hatter?" inspired Mad Hatter costumes with sequin dresses, top hats, and show logo patches. We utilize custom printed patches from THE STUDIO for a personalized touch.Creative Innovation: We apply custom touches to around 5-6 costumes each year, adding unique flair to fit our themes.Recital Hip Hop Costumes:Customization for Teens: Many off-the-shelf teen hip hop costumes don't match our themes, so we order separates like pants from Weissman's and add a custom hoodie or t-shirt featuring theme-specific graphics.Personal Style: We provide accessories like bandanas, hats, and bracelets for teens to add their personal style to their costumes, ensuring a unique look.Thinking Outside the Costume Box: Consider combining costume pieces with blazers, vests, and more to create a tailored look that fits your theme.Final Thoughts:Dive deeper into costume design and think creatively to make your costumes perfectly complement your choreography and themes. While finding the ideal costume may not always be as easy as flipping through a catalog, the extra effort can make all the difference in the final performance.Thanks for tuning in and enjoy the creative costume journey!Let's Get Social!Let's Get Social!

Deshalb hat sich Alice das Mikro geschnappt und ein wenig aus ihren neuen Buch “Identitätskrise” vorgelesen, das am 23.10. erscheint. Es in dieser Folge vor allem um den Anfang. Das Buch startet mit einem Prolog. Alice liest vor und beschreibt, wie dieser Text entstanden ist. Über die Frage, wie viel “Ich” im Text stecken sollte, wie und warum sie persönliche und gleichzeitig gesellschaftliche Analysen verbindet und warum sie es für wichtig hält, die eigene Subjektivität und Motivation im Schreiben transparent zu machen.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: The Dunbar Playbook: A CRM system for your friends, published by Severin T. Seehrich on August 17, 2023 on LessWrong. Thanks to Dakota Quackenbush from Authentic Bay Area for an earlier version of this tool. So far, the main motivation for my work as a community builder and authentic relating facilitator was meeting my own need for connection. I think that was a mistake. First, it is difficult to harvest the fruits of community while I'm the one responsible for creating and holding the space. Second, this motivation leads to botched incentives that end up serving neither the cause nor me. After all, the subset of broke EAs and hippies I enjoy spending my time with the most are not in too dire need of my services, nor particularly capable of helping me pay my rent. In other words, I've finally given up on trying to poop where I eat. Instead of building a product for my in-group, I now try to anchor my life in my tribe, and use the energy I get there to build products that serve the outside world and pay my rent. Wish me luck. Because my life happens all over the globe and making new friends is more intuitive for me than sustaining long-term relationships, I want to be a bit strategic about building a tribe that keeps me energized. That's where the Dunbar Playbook comes into play. Some theory: Dunbar's Number The Dunbar Playbook is named after Dunbar's Number, the number of people one can maintain personal relationships with. In his earlier research, anthropologist and evolutionary psychologist Robin Dunbar concluded that that's about 150 people. Later, he found that there are actually different circles of friendship. Apparently, people have a handful of very close friends, a couple more best friends, and vastly more loose friends and acquaintances. (Who would have thought.) The Atlantic cites the following layers, with each layer being ~3x the size of the preceding ones: 1.5 people: Intimates5: Close friends15: Best friends50: Good friends150: Friends500: Acquaintances1500: Known names5000: Known faces Of course, these are all just rough approximations. Introverts will invest more energy into fewer people, extraverts less into more. There are probably also cultural differences or something. Introducing the Dunbar Playbook However big or small these circles are for you: It will probably not hurt to be a explicit about who is part of which one. Fine-grained categories make it easier to track where your priorities lie. The process for creating a Dunbar Playbook is simple: Make a list of people you are or want to be friends with. Note down the "is" and "ought" of your relationship, and whichever other information you want to save in the playbook. Here is my playbook in anonymized form: Image 1: An anonymized version of my Playbook. As you see, this boy cares a lot about vibing. On the left, you find a bunch of tiers - inspired by the circles of friendship in the article above. How I named the categories is irrelevant. What's important is that I want to be very intentional about investing into my relationships with the uppermost Alices and Bobs, and for the ones lower on the list, occasional "how are you?"s and a call every couple months is enough. Then, you find the names of my people. The "Is"-column indicates where I'm at with these people (sorted by lowest to highest), and the "Want"-column indicates how close I'd like these relationships to be. The "want"-column is the one I actually auto-sort this list by; the "is"-column just shows discrepancies and how far from my desired state I currently am. The boundaries between the categories are not firm, just very rough sizes of the different circles I think might be good to aim for. Sometimes the boundaries and the number of people I actually want in that tier match.For example, as there's currently nobody who could count a...

Sometimes the boundaries and the number of people I actually want in that tier match.For example, as there's currently nobody who could count a...

The Mad Hatter is one of Batman's oddest major foes. While all of the rogues who have existed since the Golden Age have gone through various permutations, few are as wildly different. Sometimes he is obsessed with hats. Sometimes he is a mind control scientist. Sometimes he is obsessed with Alice In Wonderland and has a creepy obsession with young girls he deems his Alices (super creepy). And we have read very little featuring the character for this show. So, our buddy Josh Weil is back to remedy that. Find out what other classic character debuted in the same story as the Hatter, read some great Greg Rucka and hear Will get apoplectic about a book that competes for the bottom spot on the Big Board.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Vingean Agency, published by Abram Demski on August 24, 2022 on The AI Alignment Forum. I've been involved with several discussions about different notions of agency (and their importance/relationships) lately, especially with the PIBBSS group including myself, Daniel, Josiah, and Ramana; see here. There's one notion of agency (not necessarily "The" notion of agency, but a coherent and significant notion) which vanishes if you examine it too closely. Imagine that Alice is "smarter than Bob in every way" -- that is, Bob believes that Alice knows everything Bob knows, and possibly more. Bob doesn't necessarily agree with Alice's goals, but Bob expects Alice to pursue them effectively. In particular, Bob expects Alice's actions to be at least as effective as the best plan Bob can think of. Because Bob can't predict what Alice will do, the only way Bob can further constrain his expectations is to figure out what's good/bad for Alice's objectives. In some sense this seems like a best-case for Bob modeling Alice as an agent: Bob understands Alice purely by understanding her as a goal-seeking force. I'll call this Vingean agency, since Vinge talked about the difficulty of predicting agents who are smarter than you. and since this usage is consistent with other uses of the term "Vingean" in relation to decision theory. However Vingean agency might seem hard to reconcile with other notions of agency. We typically think of "modeling X as an agent" as involving attribution of beliefs to X, not just goals. Agents have probabilities and utilities. Bob has minimal use for attributing beliefs to Alice, because Bob doesn't think Alice is mistaken about anything -- the best he can do is to use his own beliefs as a proxy, and try to figure out what Alice will do based on that. When I say Vingean agency "disappears when we look at it too closely", I mean that if Bob becomes smarter than Alice (understands more about the world, or has a greater ability to calculate the consequences of his beliefs), Alice's Vingean agency will vanish. We can imagine a spectrum. At one extreme is an Alice who knows everything Bob knows and more, like we've been considering so far. At the other extreme is an Alice whose behavior is so simple that Bob can predict it completely. In between these two extremes are Alices who know some things that Bob doesn't know, while also lacking some information which Bob has. (Arguably, Eliezer's notion of optimization power is one formalization of Vingean agency, while Alex Flint's attraction-basin notion of optimization defines a notion of agency at the opposite extreme of the spectrum, where we know everything about the whole system and can predict its trajectories through time.) I think this spectrum may be important to keep in mind when modeling different notions of agency. Sometimes we analyze agents from a logically omniscient perspective. In representation theorems (such as Savage or Jeffrey-Bolker, or their lesser sibling, VNM) we tend to take on a perspective where we can predict all the decisions of an agent (including hypothetical decisions which the agent will never face in reality). From this omniscient perspective, we then seek to represent the agent's behavior by ascribing it beliefs and real-valued preferences (ie, probabilities and expected utilities). However, this omniscient perspective eliminates Vingean agency from the picture. Thus, we might lose contact with one of the important pieces of the "agent" phenomenon, which can only be understood from a more bounded perspective. On the other hand, if Bob knows Alice wants cheese, then as soon as Alice starts moving in a given direction, Bob might usefully conclude "Alice probably thinks cheese is in that direction". So modeling Alice as having beliefs is certainly not useless for Bob. Still, because Bob ...
