Some of my favorite chapters in my diss are owed to people I had academic meet cutes with on Twitter. 🤷‍♂️

@katta_spiel @BRKeogh @pratim
I said chapters and I meant paragraphs but anyway.

Migraine brain 🧠
I mean, the chapters too.

But there are one or two paragraphs that are specifically me subtweeting a committee member that I find delightful.

Hey #AcademicTwitter! I'm looking for a reference about "extended" (or mediated) cognition in game environments (Merleau-Ponty-esque). So much of what I find is all about exact reproduction of "human" (ableist, normative) embodiment in VR... 1/2
But there is always already an in-game embodiment and cognition that is mediated by the game controls, mechanics, and device constraints.

IDGAF about "really being immersed inside the game, man". We're always already there. The controller is our cane. Why is this so hard? 2/2

I wanted World on a Wire to be about the ethics of simulating life in order to make choices about life outside the simulation. But instead it was just about one dude's ego/id under the pressure of simulated madness.
Like imagine if we were a simulation running to calculate how many lives will be lost to COVID due to our shitty inability to stay the fuck home under compulsory capitalism.

That would be fucked up.

No one should have to die to prove a point.
Instead some dude gets "rescued" from the "fake" world into the arms of a pretty lady in the "real" world because he was (allegedly) not a megalomaniac. But he sure was a self-absorbed emo prick. 🤷‍♂️

If you've ever been startled by the toast you forgot you put in the toaster,

Congratulations you've experienced executive dysfunction.
If you've ever tried and failed to make tea more than twice in a row,

Congratulations you've experienced executive dysfunction.
If you have BEGGED your body to do a thing, and it... Won't.

Gratz. Executive Nope.
