Discreet closure and the Speculative Arts

                    Discreet Closure is the means by which we are able to dispense information in it's most compressed and harmless state.

                    I have had to notice the interest that people take in my blog fluctuates. When I am offering a purely scientific overview of my work, I'm offering real content. Readership has dropped off considerably since I took time off to refocus and reflect. As I continue to write the blog, it's mood and style changes. Focusing on the less academic aspects of reading may be very cathartic but it may just not hold the appeal that the purely technological data has. I do believe that in the long run this literary exercise is going to have varied audiences with different needs. Ideally I'm going to be able to re collate everything into much more readable formats. As well I am going to be amending the already posted pages with corresponding graphics and diagrams. I'm eager to provide history on the shifting and evolving subject of science and beliefs. This way with further editing and corrections we will be able to provide a much more comprehensive document. As improvements flesh out this highly speculative work, people who have already read a certain page will be able to have their questions answered simply as a response to the obvious holes in my assertions.

                     Discreet Closure is the means by which we are able to dispense information in it's most compressed and harmless state. When the governments of the world observed the lose of intelligence workers to the stress of spying, a great deal of energy has been invested in the allocation and extreem compartmentalization of "information." The only way to provide any level of deniability is to partition everything in a way that gives only limited access. Were we to know everything that our governments do, have done or intend to do in the future, it would dis incentivize spying altogether. My mom said, "Snoopy people are the bane of the world." "Peoples concerns are for themselves alone." "As they should be," I said. "Even the best of intentions should be an enlightened selfishness." I was a precocious child. She softened her assertion by adding that if you are snoopy be discreet and don't advertise.

                     I must confess for myself, that as the guy looking through the microscope at you, I want to mind my own business. I live with a kind of protective ignorance, namely, right or wrong I don't want or need to pretend I know anything about you. Discretion is the better part of valor. I'm not looking for validation. I prefer working in the dark. When I'm wrong, I'm wrong. If I'm right I don't need or want to know. Let the work speak for itself. There are no objective observers. I enjoy and respect critical thought and if and when my work generates support I suppose that is a kind of validation but I still don't want to get caught up in the conformational bias of people telling me what I want to hear, nor do I want to just be telling people what gets me paid. I'm already a really kind empathic person and being vulnerable to peoples needs and feeling puts me at a gross disadvantage. I have to be clinical, detached and dispassionate. When you want to waste my time turning the microscope on me, I know you aren't going to know anymore than I do. Saturation is not without functional utility. "Discreet closure is the opt out clause in all contract relations."You don't have to listen to me, but if you do, you should make an appointment just like everyone else.

                     Were I able to suddenly put all the academic specifics of esoteric reading technologies in blog form, with all the diagnostics and statistics, I would be a genius. I would also be resisting the narrative. We are not designed to absorb or process data without emotion, no matter what people tell you. This is one of the most pernicious problems of government intelligence. Denying peoples feelings leads to burnout. All surveillance is speculative until it is verified. And even then it is subject to review. If we are to consider the diplomatic need for a "complementarity" of human relations we must accept limits on how much a person can know, witness or understand. Perspective in topology can be thought of as fiber bundle space, moving lines of view. As motion in continuity, there is the paradox of relative objectivity, when it comes to observing and studying people.
