No one — human or LLM — actually knows the meanings of the phrases that Tyler James Robinson wrote on his cartridge casings. There's lots of speculation but he isn't talking, and even if he was we wouldn't know whether he was telling the truth. If you want us to take you seriously then you'll have to come up with a valid example instead of posting a bunch of pseudo-intellectual drivel.

You're proving me correct. The pseudoscience is CS, it has no game in events. The interdisciplinary search for semantics derived from events isn't pseudo-intellectual drivel, it's the central quest of key sciences and subfields that range into neuroscience.

Of course we can concatenate meanings from his behavior and clues, but these meanings are not accessible in AI or narratives. You're essentially throwing in the towel as proof legacy explanations have died in automation in AI.

Face it CS, your approach is bureaucratic, for enforcing the dead status-quo of knowledge, not for the leading edges.

But of course we do! The right-wing groyper theory crashed on the rocks so we're left with a deranged leftist who killed in the name of his leftism.

No, memes subvert politics in general. They're references of nihilistic chaos that dissolves left and right.

"Your Honor, have you ever heard of Marcel Duchamp?"

Duchamp played the status game of arbitrary signals as representations for high status. He's not a chaos agent. He's a relic of a generation trying to get into galleries and museums for status. It's not even close to meme-culture.

Ok, so Tyler Robinson is a sincere Dadaist in a way that the founders were not.

Flush out your headgear oldster. Dada was a status gain group in a hierarchical system. Meme-culture is 21st C non-linear chaos deep in horizontalization. Take your academic art history takes to plain English status seeing magazines.
