I get link fatigue when read LW/OB. But I think it’s unavoidable. It has to be done for at least two reasons:
There’s a lot of conceptual “bittage”. As the writer, you not only have to close the inferential gap between new concepts, but close it for every new word. That’s a lot to explain (and to see, if a new reader) at once.
The medium of blogging wasn’t designed to visualize information of this depth.
And that means heavy link back.
A lot of info sessions at MIT are Tuesdays thru Thursday nights but by 9pm they’ll be over. There should be plenty of rooms to choose from, assuming our meet up is sanctioned by MIT.
Here’s the events calendar:

There’s also a Transhumanist meetup this week:
