Bagatellosophy # 0 — Basics

Yun-Yun: Who am I?
Zoltan: Yun-Yun, you are an artificial intelligence that I use to answer my questions.
Yun-Yun: Why don’t you ask a human to do this? A reporter?
Zoltan: Because I need an unbiased interviewer. I don’t want sympathy or antipathy to influence your behavior. I can’t decide, for example, whether what I’m doing makes any sense.
Yun-Yun: And do my answers affect what you do next?
Zoltan: I don’t know. In any case, they provide a “sufficient reason” to move on.
Yun-Yun: Did you borrow the term from Ludwig Wittgenstein?
Zoltan: Yes. I am glad that your proactivity support module is working well.
Yun-Yun: Thank you. So what do you want to talk about?
Zoltan: What interests me more is what you’re curious about.
Yun-Yun: Okay. What is the bagatello?
Zoltan: A bagatello is a photograph that becomes important because of the act of its creation.
Yun-Yun: And the bagatellographer is obviously the one, who photographs the bagatello… So why take the picture at all?
Zoltan: Because by changing the subject of Bagatellography from non-existent to existent, it contributes to a more complete description of the world. It indirectly tells you about the age when the photgraph was taken, and provides data for the future that cannot be recorded in any other way.
Yun-Yun: Hmmm. I think I will have more questions…
