Sequencing — the careful striptease by which you reveal information to the reader — matters in an article, but it is absolutely essential to a book.

Kopikon Presenters: John Quijada

Today we continue with introductions to our Kopikon presenters with John Quijada!

John is a conlanger, musician, artist, and board game designer. John is best known for creating the Ithkuil language. Ithkuil is a philosophical language whose aim is to pack as much information into as small a space as possible as unambiguously as possible. The result is a language that isn't really possible to learn and use on the fly, but produces fascinating, meditative thought experiments in the form of a translation. An infamous regarding Ithkuil being taken up by a group of Russian terrorists was detailed by Joshua Foer in The New Yorker (read "Utopian for Beginners" here).

John will be presenting at 2:30 p.m. in Copley Formal Lounge at Georgetown University, September 23rd, 2023. To register, go here. The full schedule is listed below:

popsci is a horrid wasteland of mostly hastily scribbled together pseudo-scientific cash-grab self-help shit but if u rly overlook the whole genre u miss out on broadening ur ways of thinkin cuz there's no way u'll ever actually sit down in a class n learn of these concepts except thru cultural osmosis (tryin to sweeten the sting w/ optimism here lol)

anyway b4 u solidify ur view of the sacred inner workings of a human mind n infallibility of memory n rationality of any decision-making anyone has ever done u should rly entertain n educate urself w/ joshua foer's "moonwalking with einstein: the art and science of remembering everything" (horrid anglo publisher name but i prommy the name is actually more relevant to the topic than u'd think (finnish translation was just "kaiken muistamisen taito")) where he talks of memory thru the lens of memory competitions (remembering pi decimals doenst mean u dont forget to drink ur tea b4 it's cold) n daniel kahneman's "thinking, fast and slow", which i would force everyone to read if i just could. it has played a large part in making me who i am n informed me of the way i interact w/ ppl n make decisions (or so i hope). mostly it taught me the hard cold fact i had already suspected to be the case as a teen: economics is a fake science.

debated on mentioning it but i have looked all of this up so i'd hate to know n blindside someone: both authors r jewish n while foer seems to mostly just be interested in some philantropy to israel thru orgs that make no mention of the plight of palestinians on their websites, kahneman (on account of havin been born in tel aviv) served in idf's psychology department (of which he's critical about in the book (by the standards an israeli scholar can be critical of idf)). i'm not labeling them capital zed zionists but not much evidence to the contrary either. i think u should still be able to appreciate these books for their content, especially kahneman as he does give a somewhat critical view of idf as an organization from the inside (an increasingly rare thing). it's a very small portion of the book so make of that what u may. but i think neither of these succesful authors particularly need ur money so libraries n piracy r ur friends here. foer's book u can probs check out at a library (popular popsci bestseller), kahneman u probs have to pirate or wait for (or ask for my copy) since it's actually a book that economists n other social sciences students r required to read for entry exams n stuff n then discard n scrub any memory of out of their brains as the scourge of economics takes over like a parasitical infection that eats grey matter. go figure, life in cognitive dissonance etc

In the past, I have enjoyed scientific books such as Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari and Moonwalking with Einstein by Joshua Foer as well autobiographies such as Emmanuel Macron Revolution. 😊

Okay, so you're clearly a lot smarter than me 🥴😅

however, i think you might enjoy these:

* The Martian by Andy Weir

* Red Rising saga by Pierce Brown

* Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir

* The Themis Files by Sylvain Neuvel

* Ready Player One by Ernest Cline

* City of Stairs by Robert Jackson Bennett

* World War Z by Max Brooks

* Scythe by Neil Schusterman

I also really enjoyed Bill Wasik's Rabid. It's sort of a history book, sort of a science book, sort of a cultural history of the most terrifying disease known to man. It's not exactly for the faint of heart though. Oh! And I like Joshua Foer's Moonwalking with Einstein, it's about memory, how it works and how to remember everything. It's not a self help book, I just don't know how to describe it. It has some crude humor, but it's super interesting!

I will look into those, thanks ☺️

I finished one of the books I had started in 2022 :)

Moonwalking with Einstein is a fascinating look at memory and our ability or inability to improve them. Joshua Foer is a journalist who is covering the World Memory Competition. He becomes curious and asks one of the competitors to train him. He begins practicing hours every day, learning ancient memory techniques that humans used to employ every day out of necessity. He researches who had or has the best memory and who the worst. Eventually he decides to try to compete in the US Memory competition.

I really really enjoyed this book! It was so interesting and I am eager to try the techniques and methods outlined in it to try to improve my own memory!

Book 2 out of 100 finished!

Monotony collapses time; novelty unfolds it. You can exercise daily and eat healthily and live a long life, while experiencing a short one. If you spend your life sitting in a cubicle and passing papers, one day is bound to blend unmemorably into the next -- and disappear.

‘Be prepared to be amazed’ GuardianCan anyone get a perfect memory?Joshua Foer used to be like most of us, forgetting phone numbers and mislaying keys. Then he learnt the art of memory training, and a year later found himself in the finals of the US Memory Championship. He also discovered a truth we often forget: that, even in an age of technology, memory is the key to everything we…
