Not that there\u2019s anything to be done about any of it.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Prince\u2019s early webmaster remembers helping him with the NPG Music Club, a crucial forerunner for social media, digital music, and artist-run distribution: \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/the-intersect\/wp\/2016\/04\/27\/how-prince-revolutionized-the-internet-according-to-the-webmaster-who-helped-him-do-it\/\" target=\"_blank\">If he built his own online record label, his own online radio station, and his own online music store, he had just as much access to his audience as the traditional channels did. He finally had a way to skip all the barriers and go direct<\/a> \u2026 This direct connection between the fans and an artist on Prince\u2019s level didn\u2019t exist before the NPG Music Club. There was no Twitter, Facebook, or even YouTube. At the time, he saw direct Internet distribution as a model for all artists. He would tell me, if you could build your own music club, why would you need to pay anyone else a share and give away all your fans\u2019 information? Why not do it all yourself\u2014downloads, concert tickets, streaming concert events, and even a hub for emerging artists? He was leading the way to a new artist-owned music business \u2026 For a moment in time, we had something special no one had ever seen before\u2014and something prescient, that predicted some of the questions about online distribution and artist agency that would come later.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>Today in reality: Is it real? Do our sense perceptions offer anything more than impotent glimpses of the world outside our heads? \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.theatlantic.com\/science\/archive\/2016\/04\/the-illusion-of-reality\/479559\/?utm_source=QuartzFB\" target=\"_blank\">We\u2019ve been shaped to have perceptions that keep us alive, so we have to take them seriously<\/a>. If I see something that I think of as a snake, I don\u2019t pick it up. If I see a train, I don\u2019t step in front of it. I\u2019ve evolved these symbols to keep me alive, so I have to take them seriously. But it\u2019s a logical flaw to think that if we have to take it seriously, we also have to take it literally \u2026 I call it conscious realism: Objective reality is just conscious agents, just points of view. Interestingly, I can take two conscious agents and have them interact, and the mathematical structure of that interaction also satisfies the definition of a conscious agent. This mathematics is telling me something. I can take two minds, and they can generate a new, unified single mind.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>When George Plimpton wasn\u2019t editing <em>The Paris Review<\/em>, he was doing \u2026 almost literally everything else. \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.vanityfair.com\/culture\/2016\/04\/george-plimpton-sports-books\" target=\"_blank\">Plimpton was an omnipresence for much of American cultural life\u2014both high and low\u2014in the last third of the twentieth century<\/a>. He appeared in commercials for Oldsmobile and Intellivision, and appeared in the movies <em>The Bonfire of the Vanities<\/em> and <em>Good Will Hunting<\/em> and on TV\u2019s <em>Married with Children<\/em>. He was present when Bobby Kennedy was assassinated, helping to tackle Sirhan Sirhan. He turned up as a character on <em>The Simpsons<\/em>. In a <em>New Yorker<\/em> cartoon from 1967, a man about to undergo surgery looks up at the doctor wearing a mask and asks, \u2018Wait a minute! How do I know you\u2019re not George Plimpton?\u2019 That Zelig-like identity rested largely on a series of seven books in which the New York\u2013born, Harvard-educated Plimpton threw himself both physically and intellectually into the professional sporting life. Decades before the onset of reality TV and the Twittersphere, Plimpton starred in his own Everyman story.\u201d<\/li>\n<li>As I write this, Moscow is teeming with horrendous art. So what, you may say\u2014so\u2019s New York. At least in Moscow\u2019s case there\u2019s a festival to blame: the Moscow Spring Festival, with a three-million-dollar price tag. \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.newyorker.com\/news\/news-desk\/why-moscow-has-suddenly-been-filled-with-tacky-terrible-art\" target=\"_blank\">By Friday, the entire center of the city was covered with sculptures and installations, most of them far larger than life size. These included\u00a0a plastic reproduction of the classic Russian painting <em>Bogatyrs<\/em> (featuring three Russian-superhero horsemen), the size of a two-story house<\/a>;\u00a0the head of a woman\u2014also roughly the size of a house\u2014in faux topiary, with a twisted hand growing out of the ground next to it; and a cartoon Soviet policeman, which was the height of a small apartment building. It was as if the city had been invaded by a horde of aliens with flamboyantly bad taste. The Moscow intelligentsia recoiled in horror.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jenny Diski has died at sixty-eight.
