WORD TRIP - THE APP Stuff you can't find explained anywhere else.

 I looked everywhere and found next to nothing explaining how to use the Word Trip app.
There's a web page that lists the word answers to every single puzzle though!
What I put together below are three screen shots with notes explaining most of word page, the completed puzzle page and the map page.  Also I've added a mini dictionary of the most common short words that start with vowels.  Every word has vowels.

I've only played for a month and done so as a guest. I know almost nothing about the clubs and chats and side competitions but what you see below will help you for a first time orientation.

Explain "knowing stuff" with Starlings

I think about word models to explain "knowing stuff".

My best vision is a murmuration of brain memes, mimicking the motions of starlings.

Like the murmuration, we can entertain contradictory motions and messages and let them play out against each other.

Asimov: Scientific knowledge has fractal properties

«I believe that scientific knowledge has fractal properties, that no matter how much we learn, whatever is left, however small it may seem, is just as infinitely complex as the whole was to start with»

— Isaac Asimov (I Asimov, 1995)

CBC fake posts its government funding.

The artwork on this CBC financial bar graph is fabulous, is a fable.   The step from 600 million to 700 million income and the next step from 700 million to 1700 million  are the same size.  They snipped 900 million out of the visual display but left it on the text display, knowing most of us will fall for the visual.  How can they be this crazily duplicitous when public attention is upon them?  (Source: Powerline)

"Election fraud is as American as Apple Pie"

 David Strom writing at Hot Air:  "Were elections always clean, in the hisotry of the universe, elections would be the first thing of immense value that nobody tried to steal".

He brings this up in the context of a possibel re-do of the Harris County TX election over deliberate selective shorting of ballot paper. 

Progressives no longer want to tune in, turn on and drop out, especially not drop out.

 Professor Victor David Hansen nails this succinctly:

The 1960s revolution was both anarchic and nihilist. But it was waged against—not from—the establishment. Hippies and the Left either attacked institutions or, in Timothy Leary fashion, chose to “turn on, tune in, drop out” from them.     ......   The current Left has no intention of “dropping out.” Why would it?  It now controls the very institutions of America that it once mocked and attacked.

Consuming food, consuming information, the digital revolution.

 What's the big picture?  I see chaotic flows, polycentric,  consuming energy and information.   The BBC documentaries and Earth and Ocean make it clear that most obvious animals are busy eating one another.  They are consuming weakly-defended surpluses.  

Trying to make sense of world politics is like trying to understand a grass fire by interviewing clumps of grass.  The fuel is there.  The fire is burning.    When the fuel is consumed or out of reach, the fire stops.

The digital revolution, spreading information at the speed of light, is a big fire and is feeding on everything in all the cultures and faiths and governments of the world.
