Part One of a video series echoing the themes of 'Liber Indigo: The Affordances of Magic'

Finally someone likeminded. It’s true that there are different versions of showing the data besides desktop metaphor. But no one figured it out yet. Indeed true.

part two at some point stops talking about desktop, interfaces and software and I don't know where it's going 😄

It does not seem to me to be necessary to accept a different nature of consciousness in order to be able to justify the belief that the affordances offered by "desktop" computing are not the only ones possible. And people who find it necessary to preface their thesis with "this won't make any sense unless you first assume everything you know is wrong" do not inspire trust. Because I can't actually do that. All I can do is accept that if it doesn't make sense to me, that's my fault. And then you don't actually have to be right, and even if you are so is everyone else. It's a red flag for bullshit of the highest order.

just watched the third part and the pattern seems to be to use some idea from UIs to talk about the nature of consciousness for 10 minutes, maybe it comes back to UIs at some point but I'm not sure 😛

The problem with the paper metaphor is kind of overblown. Nowdays there are quite a few other metaphors (infinity canvas, infinity scroll, trees, graphs, links..). Also webapps are not really websites anymore (for better or worse). We do have to remember that many computer users are very limited in their ability.

I wondered how I'd discovered this! Thanks, @Mariano Guerra!! I bought the book after watching the whole series, and now we've all moved to Discord! (link on final video)
