Stereotypes¶
The Less-Evil Twin hasn’t been on its best behavior recently. Discussing the prospects for Accelerationism (following this negative prognosis), it quite innocently suggested:
@turingcop (A new pulse of darkside electronic music innovation would help.)

… and it was already over the line.
@UF_blog @turingcop why isn't there any coming out of neochina?
— Urbanomic (@urbanomicdotcom) May 27, 2014
@urbanomicdotcom @turingcop Actually, my guiding theory there is hardcore racist, so I bet save it for the darkside space.

[‘bet’ should be ‘best’ (not ‘better’)]
That’s where things paused for a while.
@UF_blog @turingcop hoping for some devastating sonic counterattack to Al Qadiri's neoexoticist chinoiseries

(You’ve heard of her, right? It’s a superbly intelligent play off the Shanzhai idea.)
@urbanomicdotcom @turingcop The sound of Cyber-apocalypse is going to come out of the Black Atlantic. That's just the way it is.
— Urban Future (2.1) (@UF_blog) May 28, 2014
@UF_blog @turingcop footwork needs to turn up the dread, I guess
— Urbanomic (@urbanomicdotcom) May 28, 2014
@urbanomicdotcom @turingcop Kind of like the Al Qadiri stuff, it's clever, but it doesn't claw its way into the brainstem and start ripping.
— Urban Future (2.1) (@UF_blog) May 28, 2014
@UF_blog @turingcop refuse to believe nothing happening in China (esp 'because race', o plz) Someone will be workin on sonic weirdness…
— Urbanomic (@urbanomicdotcom) May 28, 2014
@urbanomicdotcom @turingcop Because the notion of overwhelming racial patterns in compulsive rhythmo-memetics is so obviously implausible ..
— Urban Future (2.1) (@UF_blog) May 28, 2014
@UF_blog @turingcop "natural rhythm"? Omg omg omg
— Urbanomic (@urbanomicdotcom) May 28, 2014
@urbanomicdotcom @turingcop … oh come on, you know it's true. Why the hell shouldn't there be a genetic basis for this stuff?
— Urban Future (2.1) (@UF_blog) May 28, 2014
@urbanomicdotcom @turingcop … I'll stop talking about it if you're about to faint on me or something.
— Urban Future (2.1) (@UF_blog) May 28, 2014
@UF_blog @turingcop i think mostly the biological sciences have abandoned the "why shouldn't there be" approach
— Urbanomic (@urbanomicdotcom) May 28, 2014
@UF_blog @turingcop lol its a good job we both know ur too smart to actually think this shit
— Urbanomic (@urbanomicdotcom) May 28, 2014
@urbanomicdotcom @turingcop I'm having trouble believing you sincerely don't see the obvious reality of it. Any reason particularly?
— Urban Future (2.1) (@UF_blog) May 28, 2014
@UF_blog @turingcop i'm reading the stuff, its not convincing me
— Urbanomic (@urbanomicdotcom) May 28, 2014
@UF_blog @turingcop concept of race thoroughly discredited?
— Urbanomic (@urbanomicdotcom) May 28, 2014
@urbanomicdotcom @turingcop Oh sure, there's no such thing as Chinese people. It's a bizarre idea cooked up by Hitler.
— Urban Future (2.1) (@UF_blog) May 28, 2014
@UF_blog @turingcop wow, so reasoning! Much argument.
— Urbanomic (@urbanomicdotcom) May 28, 2014
@urbanomicdotcom @turingcop There are no people on earth I'd want to live among more than the Chinese, but the idea that they're going …
— Urban Future (2.1) (@UF_blog) May 28, 2014
@urbanomicdotcom @turingcop … to transport the world to the sonic dark side any moment now is some kind of bizarre ideological fantasy.
— Urban Future (2.1) (@UF_blog) May 28, 2014
@UF_blog @turingcop not an ideological fantasy just assumption based on sheer weight of numbers and electronics
— Urbanomic (@urbanomicdotcom) May 28, 2014
@urbanomicdotcom @turingcop Is "omg omg omg" supposed to be some kind of exhibition of natural rhythm?
— Urban Future (2.1) (@UF_blog) May 28, 2014
@UF_blog @turingcop its a song from bongo bongo land
— Urbanomic (@urbanomicdotcom) May 28, 2014
@UF_blog @turingcop snark aside, dont u think, in view of massive prodtvty of hyperdub continuum,that adding chinese terminal can only +++ ?
— Urbanomic (@urbanomicdotcom) May 28, 2014
@urbanomicdotcom @turingcop Comparative advantage. People should do what they're good at.
— Urban Future (2.1) (@UF_blog) May 28, 2014
@UF_blog @turingcop does that mean we gots to keep on slavin' massah?
— Urbanomic (@urbanomicdotcom) May 28, 2014
@urbanomicdotcom @turingcop … still, among 1.3 billion people, there should be some freaky statistical outliers. Finding them though …

@UF_blog @turingcop i am going to make it one of my missions now. Gotta go feeding porridge to my caucasian scion.
— Urbanomic (@urbanomicdotcom) May 28, 2014
@urbanomicdotcom @turingcop You're killing me here.
— Urban Future (2.1) (@UF_blog) May 28, 2014
@UF_blog @turingcop are you going to faint? It's ok I'll stop
— Urbanomic (@urbanomicdotcom) May 28, 2014
@UF_blog @turingcop dammit why does this baby refuse to eat anything but fish and chips
— Urbanomic (@urbanomicdotcom) May 28, 2014
@urbanomicdotcom @turingcop Actually, the reason to stop is to avoid the slightest risk of getting you into trouble.
— Urban Future (2.1) (@UF_blog) May 28, 2014
@urbanomicdotcom @turingcop … I've got the PLA watching my back — you're stuck out there in insanityville all on your lonesome.
— Urban Future (2.1) (@UF_blog) May 28, 2014

@urbanomicdotcom @turingcop Exactly "minimalist, ghostly electronic music" — might as well be wearing his DNA on his T-shirt.
— Urban Future (2.1) (@UF_blog) May 28, 2014
@UF_blog @turingcop hmm. unfortunately, it's not particularly good. the search continues
— Urbanomic (@urbanomicdotcom) May 28, 2014
@urbanomicdotcom @turingcop Science!
— Urban Future (2.1) (@UF_blog) May 28, 2014
@UF_blog @turingcop pwned by dna

— Urbanomic (@urbanomicdotcom) May 28, 2014
@UF_blog @turingcop more "Electronica from Sichuan province, the band lists Pet Shop Boys among influences + has early 80s Euro sound." :(
— Urbanomic (@urbanomicdotcom) May 28, 2014
@urbanomicdotcom @turingcop Keep on busting those stereotypes.
— Urban Future (2.1) (@UF_blog) May 28, 2014
@urbanomicdotcom @turingcop You should stop, really, before the bad thoughts come.
— Urban Future (2.1) (@UF_blog) May 28, 2014
@UF_blog @turingcop the condescension library is the least appealing aspect of your new personality implant
— Urbanomic (@urbanomicdotcom) May 28, 2014
@urbanomicdotcom @turingcop I'm just trying to keep you out of the ducking stool.

@UF_blog @turingcop I realise that from over there Cornwall must seem futuristic and exotic but rly it's not that dangerous these days
— Urbanomic (@urbanomicdotcom) May 28, 2014
@urbanomicdotcom @turingcop Is the investigation continuing, or has it drawn a blank for now?
— Urban Future (2.1) (@UF_blog) May 28, 2014
@UF_blog @turingcop you're seriously treating this as an experimentum crucis for biological determinism now, right?
— Urbanomic (@urbanomicdotcom) May 28, 2014
@urbanomicdotcom @turingcop No, I'm far to deep into evidence saturation for that.
— Urban Future (2.1) (@UF_blog) May 28, 2014
[‘to’ should be ‘too’, of course]
@UF_blog @turingcop a rabbit hole. int.style generic noisism is big: http://t.co/MeqEG1Pel0 Alice Hui worth a listen for freaky voice evac
— Urbanomic (@urbanomicdotcom) May 28, 2014
@urbanomicdotcom @turingcop A lot of that stuff is pretty interesting — but you wouldn't want to try and get people dancing to it.
— Urban Future (2.1) (@UF_blog) May 28, 2014
@UF_blog @turingcop if anyone knows it must be @kodenine
— Urbanomic (@urbanomicdotcom) May 28, 2014
@urbanomicdotcom @turingcop @kodenine We already know what came out of his research expeditions.
— Urban Future (2.1) (@UF_blog) May 28, 2014
@UF_blog @urbanomicdotcom @turingcop coming soon
— 9 (@kodenine) May 28, 2014
@UF_blog @turingcop @kodenine def soundcloud shows 10x more imaginary shanghai sonic fictions than stuff actually coming out of there
— Urbanomic (@urbanomicdotcom) May 28, 2014
@urbanomicdotcom @turingcop @kodenine [Digs into the condescension library] Why could that possibly be?
— Urban Future (2.1) (@UF_blog) May 28, 2014
@kodenine @UF_blog @turingcop search on 'chinese footwork' mainly tabletennis tutorials #QED
