Medium article about Yud came across my dash (I hope the link works).
Here's a link that bypasses the URL shortener.
Also: ew.

The same author has also written about Max Tegmark.
Thanks for posting this. I live in Sweden and many of these actors are new to me.
FWIW we have our own word for people who try to hijack the judicial system with spurious lawsuits etc: rättshaverist ("justice wrecker"). I don't believe the Roman/German law system really meshes well with the SovCit movement in common law systems, but I'm sure people are trying to apply it.
My god this sounds boring as shit
I really can't imagine reading a book by someone whose vision of the future is "men will be taller and have more muscles, women will stay the same height but they'll all be conventionally attractive and have voluntary control of their uterus".
Babel-17 came out in 1966, and its vision of the future was that a good ship's captain knows how to complete a poly triad and you can't leave Earth without a full crew including three ghosts and a furry.
Now that's the kind of stuff that makes puppies sad...
(New wave SF is a bit of a blind spot for me. Never really read any Delany, even though his autobio is one the best I've read)
