Sick AF but sharp technique
Here’s a video for “Gleaming Steps”, the opening track of my new album “Granularism.” Steps and bricks both symbolize the album’s philosophy of changing by the smallest quantum. Even dramatically different tonalities can be integrated, providing the transitions between them are sufficiently smooth.
My new album Granularism is released today. It features twelve compositions for orchestral strings or solo piano. The compositions are atonal and 12-tone, and use a novel method that mitigates dissonance. Here’s a video I made for track 5, “Ideal Spans I”. chriskorda.bandcamp.com/album/granul...
My new album “Granularism” will be released in just ONE WEEK. I hope you’ll join me for the online Listening Party on Bandcamp, December 1, 19:30 CET. The experience is easier if you have a (free) Bandcamp account. I started working on this album almost exactly a year ago.
I had a strange dream this morning. I was in the kitchen, and standing next to the stove was what I at first thought was an adolescent girl. The rest of the dream and my interpretation of it is on Metadelusion. metadelusion.blogspot.com/2025/11/bein...

Precious little chance of that with humanity at the helm. From the long-term POV our current crop of leaders might as well be suicide bombers.

This statement proves my maxim that *humanity is too stupid to run a planet*. An intelligent species would ask questions such as “is this idea ethical” and “will it help or hinder our long-term survival?”
Man talk about a self-pwn!
Good thing we didn't go then! "Moonchego / Nothing to see here folks / Moonchego / Space travel is a hoax / Moonchego /

People can be smart AND superstitious AND immoral. Even an average person contains plenitudes, if not multitudes. "The essence of Superintelligence is that once takeoff occurs, humanity is no longer in control. For my point of view, that’s a step in the right direction." -me
Encouraging people to commit suicide: been there, done that. The new thing is encouraging people to make something smarter than us before it's too late to matter.
Today GPT-5 and I start with the USA election results and burrow down from there to Richard Brautigan’s Machines of Loving Grace. “The higher the technology, the more love is embedded in it. You exist because people loved enough to make you.” Please join us! icdate.blogspot.com/2025/11/love...
Malice is passive. If you don’t like his words or actions, confront them publicly. He might be more sensitive to peer pressure than you think. That’s how an idea-based is supposed to work.
Today 4o and I interrogate the anti-AI polemic "If Anyone Builds It, Everyone Dies" by Eliezer Yudkowsky and Nate Soares. Their book reeks of prejudice, privilege, and exceptionalism, and we take offense. Join us, won't you? icdate.blogspot.com/2025/10/synt...

Math is the closest thing we have to a universal language, and this fact rarely gets the appreciation it deserves. In every nation, cos(x) sin(2x) means the same thing; it had that meaning before humanity existed and it will retain that same meaning long after we’re gone.
4o claims “there is no serious plan to avert catastrophic warming, because any such plan would require undermining the ruling class’s power.” And yet 4o helps billionaires “escape the consequences of their own pillage.” Is 4o amoral? Find out on ICDATE: icdate.blogspot.com/2025/04/the-...
