Klout and various measurements of influence are fun. i love to see where i score on them, but there's a computer algorithm behind the calculation. if there's an algorithm, it can be gamed. even if it's not gameable, you have to take a leap of faith that the number of followers, retweets, mentions, whatever really mean something.

I felt like if i said something positive on twitter, it got no play. but if i said something negative on twitter, it was a billion retweets and so that was giving me a pavlovian response to be mean, and i don't want to be mean. we all have mean thoughts. they should not be broadcast on twitter. you don't need to see mean things.

Monetary calculation is not the calculation, and certainly not the measurement, of value. its basis is the comparison of the more important and the less important. it is an ordering according to rank, an act of grading (cuhel), and not an act of measuring. it was a mistake to search for a measure of the value of goods. in the last analysis, economic calculation does not rest on the measurement of values, but on their arrangement in an order of rank.
Mistake Order Important
I think that it's extraordinarily important that we in computer science keep fun in computing. when it started out, it was an awful lot of fun. of course, the paying customers got shafted every now and then, and after a while we began to take their complaints seriously. we began to feel as if we really were responsible for the successful, error-free perfect use of these machines. i don't think we are. i think we're responsible for stretching them, setting them off in new directions, and keeping fun in the house. i hope the field of computer science never loses its sense of fun.
Fun Learning Successful
Without calculation, economic activity is impossible. since under socialism economic calculation is impossible, under socialism there can be no economic activity in our sense of the word all economic change, therefore, would involve operations the value of which could neither be predicted beforehand nor ascertained after they had taken place. everything would be a leap in the dark. socialism is the renunciation of rational economy.

When i was a boy, i dreamt that i could fly, he announces. when i woke, i couldn't... or so the maester said. but what if he lied? what do you mean? perhaps we can fly. all of us. how will we ever know unless we leap from some tall tower? no man ever truly knows what he can do unless he dares to leap. there is the window. leap. what do you want? the world.

The arab world is also the world that produced some of the greatest improvements in mathematics and in science. even today, when a princeton mathematician does an algorithm, he may not remember that "algorithm" derived from the name al-khwarizmi, who is a ninth-century arab mathematician.

One of my students told me that every time she learns the name of a plant, she feels as if she is meeting someone new. giving a name to something is a way of knowing it.
Names Knowing Giving
I once heard a woman who had lost her dog say that she felt as though a color were suddenly missing from her world: the dog had introduced to her field of vision some previously unavailable hue and without a dog, that color was gone. that seemed to capture the experience of loving a dog with eminent simplicity. i'd amend it only slightly and say that if we are open to what they have to give, dogs can introduce us to several colors with names like wildness, nurturance, trust and joy.

Nature best teaches how to pray, and how to reverence all the gifts the almighty has given us. she is like a vast outspread handkerchief, embroidered with god's eternal name, on which we may dry alike our tears of sorrow and of joy; she turns weeping into ecstasy, and fills our hearts with speechless, quiet reverence and resignation.
Heart Names Joy
