dont you think so? i'm always fascinated by freedom of choice and free will,
i realy don't think it exits ..yet im not a determinist.. i guess im a
foucauldian at heart,  and think we cant ever escape the lines and
structures and limits and boundaries that exist geographically emotionally
and morally and physically around us.. even if we see outside of them and
make choices outside of them its because ther e was already the possibility
to do that.

 eg in 3d space we operate in a cartesian system so that yes it is always
finite as its based on fixed eudlucian geometry.. but that cartesian system
exists withn the hyperbolic system of curved space time.. where staight
lines become curves and loops..so that everything is always connected to
everything else, and there is supposedly infinity, which i think just means
that there are more possibilities and we are happy to operate in them..so it
opens the way for un thought of things to occur.. eg data transfer errors,
saving errors, etc  generates new meaning from code.. you can see digital
mutation and evolution in a very slow way.

so even in real space-time the appearance of free will is just an illusion
of the many possibilities.

can't say i liked those elephant paintings, tho the photos of the elephants
painting them were funny:)

computers are still feminine hey,  i love my computer.. so i guess makes all
us women lesbians -"turned on with the machines" as sadie plant would say..
btw it was good too see what she(sadie plant) is up to these days with her
mutating human/thumb generation research , her takes on tactility based on
female desire in virtual space open up a whole other area to look at
embodiment and immersion in 3d spaces..
