Freezepop has a song called “He says, she says” which accurately portrays the sorts of situations arising when we don’t have the above Life Indexer. Imagine how useful it would be to go back and accurately rebut: “No look, I actually said this, not that.” I believe it would be insanely useful.

My biggest issues arise from data sources I can’t look up on Google or Wikipedia. When I make a commitment with someone, I can only search through the mementos I write myself stemming from the social interaction we had that generated the commitment. That means when we disagree, it’s my word against theirs.

You can’t do science on unfalsifiable statements.

The great thing about nerdy bands is their lyrics. My favorite is the first song on their Futurefuturefutureperfect album. I am convinced Freezepop wrote “Less Talk More Rokk” for one amazing line at the end: “Someone yells ‘less talk more rokk’ / mostly unironically”. The implication that someone could be ironic, but at the same time be partially unironic, is incredible to me.

Check it out, I implore you:
