Thank you Dario for your thoughtful commentary and comparison between Foucault’s Pendulum, the other books and our current form of social media. I just re-listened to the bad and abridged audio version of FP on a long car ride and constantly thought about all the conspiracy minded folks out there these days and how much of their beliefs seem to be fed by grift and their own desperate desire to make sense of the world. You folding in AI then made me think about how much smoother “we” can be fed our own tailored world view. I think I’ll check the books you recommended. Thank you for sharing your observations! Cheers!

I liked how it took me back to the advent of the word processor and those discs. Having lived through that blue screen DOS age of now being able to write without a typewriter was so freeing. And the age when people smoked, even on a plane, or drank a nice stiff whiskey at work. The reason these conspiracies persist is for the kernel of truth contained in them. There actually are people who are trying to manipulate the world to fit some estoteric philosophy. For me, there is no supernatural and no magic, but for them, they are making it happen with money and manipulation. When they do this, they make the conspiracies persist.

Just began reading it after completing The Name of the Rose! So much better than Dan Brown.

YESSSSSS!! Omg Dario! This is awesome, feverish, wild and I want more!! I can't wait to read this book. I have been living my day to day schedule of work, home, play etc...pretty much the same since 6 months ago. The way social and business is conducted is changed. People who are interacting only through the web are following these wild threads and rabbit holes. Wow. It is truly awesome and crazy af. Great video
