I'm filing this under Wanderers, however the weekly meeting at Linus Pauling House was short, as only three people showed, and quickly dispersed. I had intended to be on time, 7 PM sharp, but got caught up catching up on Brexit videos. This Memorial Day weekend was simultaneously a big election time across Europe.
I joined two of the remaining Wanderers at a different location, where I learned about alloy-making and lathes, especially when used to make screws, or, more accurately, threads. Barry is an accomplished machinist and blisses out using tools every day. I should visit his maker space again sometime.
I've been taking in EU videos (a genre), thanks to Youtube. Ted Turner's original vision for CNN included playing news shows from around the world. In the era of broadcast and cable, you had expert editors connecting the dots for you. What we have nowadays is video on demand, but it's not like we only get the raw intelligence. Editors make Youtubes too, and help us weight whatever else we're watching.
Presumably, if we're responsive to feedback, some sort of gradient descent will occur. I just slipped into machine learning language, but lets remember those "perceptrons" were designed to emulate us. Chelsea Manning would understand.
In contrast to Barry, whose dad was also a machinist, my experience with large metal-working machines is mostly janitorial.
One summer, I did cleanup around the various gigantic tools used to build a Tokamak fusion reactor prototype. This was at the James Forrestal Campus off Route 1, near Princeton, where I lived at the time. I mostly used compressed air, to blast metalic residue from hard-to-sweep places, and a squeeze bottle of soap and paper towels, to make the machines shiny.
What I notice from the EU videos is how so-called supranationals show up in debates as virtual nations. They may not have contiguous land masses, but they do have private control of many buildings and campuses, warehouses, docks, ships.
The psycho-sovereignties in question (mental complexes, outwardly expressed) feel they're getting locked into a larger military-industrial system. Locals feel they're either helpless victims (of more global forces) or are at least fighting, by organizing, to regain some control over the local situation.
