that's just "machine god will figure out relativity from three video frames" in another form
Good God. Sometimes I wonder how small the population that understands all these references and knows all this deep lore and history is. How few people really understand the true nature of this bunch of people and how their ideas have ruined so much. When I go to conferences I get to have 4 hour conversations over beer with astrobiologists explaining how ideas from a blog in 2009 started showing up uncited in their literature 8 years later (when late undergrads who read a blog post start writing papers during their PhDs) and have since completely fucked whole subfields. They are flabbergasted at first, but then they see it, and see the damage done. So few people actually see this.
right? and even then you have to go slow with explanation, otherwise you just sound like a crank
It was kinda wild studying physics while this was starting.
People were getting all these starry-eyed ideas while anyone actually doing well was realising that the future is going to look a lot like the present because god hates us and we're not allowed nice things.
In the TESCREAL lore iceberg, "Aella Sankey chart" is above the waterline.

what ever happened to them anyway? Probably has tenure by now, hopefully?
Somewhere in the review, they mention having left academia for industry. Hopefully that worked out well for them.
I'm really being tested on my liberation and sex positive values here. Gosh that's a very weird and kinda gross thing to do.
What motivates someone to chart their fetish fulfillment?
Well whatever. I hope people had fun, seems like it must have been very scheduled and regimented though...
"Hey, no kink shaming!"
"But it's... Aella."
"All right. One (1) kink-shaming."
