"Nothingness is not absence, but the infinite plentitude of openness. Infinities are not mere mathematical idealizations, but incarnate marks of in/determinacy. Infinities are a constitutive part of all material 'finities,' or perhaps more aptly, 'af/finities' (affinities, from the Latin, 'related to or bordering on; connection, relationship'). Representation has confessed its shortcomings throughout history: unable to convey even the palest shadow of the Infinite, it has resigned itself to incompetence in dealing with the transcendent, cursing our finitude. But if we listen carefully, we can hear the whispered murmurings of infinity immanent in even the smallest details. Infinity is the ongoing material reconfiguring of nothingness; and finity is not its flattened and foreshortened projection on a cave wall, but an infinite richness.
The idea of finitude as lack is lacking. The presumed lack of ability of the finite to hold the infinite in its finite manifestation seems empirically unfounded, and cuts short the infinite agential resources of undecidability/indeterminacy that are always already at play. Infinity and nothingness are not the termination points defining a line. Infinity and nothingness are infinitely threaded through one another so that every infinitesimal bit of one always already contains the other. "
- Karen Barad, What is the Measure of Nothingness?

"The key thing is they are a symptom of a system that incentivizes people to do those behaviours. They are actually an emergent property. So its like are there sociopaths running the world? Yes, of course, there is sociopaths running the world. Because if you create a system where to get to the top of the power hierarchy you have to beat lots of people in zero-sum win-lose games to get up. I have to actually be good at beating people at, good at and oriented to beating people at a zero-sum win-lose game to get to the top which will include lying and disinformation and externalizing harm and layoffs and whatever it has to involve."

Loose Ends: String Theory and the Quest for the Ultimate Theory Thirty-five years ago string theory took physics by storm, promising the coveted unified theory of nature’s forces that Einstein valiantly sought but never found. In the intervening decades, string theory has brought a collection of mind-boggling possibilities into the lexicon of mainstream thinking—extra dimensions of space, holographic worlds, and multiple universes. Some researchers view these developments as symptoms of string theory having lost its way. Others argue that string theory, although very much still a work in progress, is revealing stunning new qualities of reality. Join leading minds in theoretical physics for a whirlwind ride through the twists and turns of string theory—its past, its future, and what it tells us about the search for the universe’s final theory.

ICYMI: How big can an object get before its quantum properties cede to the rules of classical physics? The answer appears to be: pretty darn big. New experiments have created objects composed of thousands or even billions of atoms that heed the rules of quantum mechanics. The work suggests that an object’s quantum nature isn’t determined by its size, but rather by how entangled it is with its environment. www.quantamagazine.org/real-life-schrodingers-cats-probe-the-boundary-of-the-quantum-world-20180625/
