I might steal this. And nobody ever asks, really. Everyone just assumes. It's mostly a reference to an internal conception of "Sneed" itself, and in the ways it came to be used. I'm pretty fascinated by not the nature of nonsense but the experience thereof—the external appearance of order and structure that drops away to chaos upon examination. The way our little culture grew to use Sneed became to me like a shortcut to a dead end. Sure, ostensibly it's a reference to a Simpsons joke, but its use became an endless obfuscation whose significance was always implied beyond the simple joke, but was always strictly implied. It became to me something like a totem, an attempt to immanentize the unknowable. I love nonsense and unknowability. I'm fascinated by the simultaneity of seeming and being. Intuition over sense; art over reason.
>I can't Sneed
Sneed, to me, is more than just a little in-joke. It's a major apex in this cultural movement of which I've been a part for over half my life now, at 33 years old. It means something to me. Something.

The "buck" part is another can of worms entirely, but it's also tied up in this "fungibility of the unknowable," kind of half-baked epistemological musing I've got brewing around in my creaky old brain.

>Determinism?

Book? This is all you need, really. /lit/ is completely obsessed with pre-QM theologians. This little sequence of letters and symbols completely BTFO'd all religious thought before and since. A nondeterministic God is indistinguishable from random chance. Determinism is baked into Abrahamic religion. It is part and parcel of God's depiction. This depiction is incorrect, unfortunately.
