Because I am so hopelessly New England, I used Henry David Thoreau's Civil Disobedience to test out this topic modeling thing. Admittedly, I only have the most tenuous grasp on what all this topic modeling stuff means, but I'm working on it.

This is how I look when I work on it:

Here's how Thoreau looks while working on it: 

0 5 slavery made jail case treat worth expediency reason american called 

1 5 man people massachusetts force thousand world constitution place prison honest 

2 5 good respect individual fellow serve wholly prevail fire brute walls 

3 5 great present thought left authority longer heard regard person door 

4 5 state pay property money town life refuse village blood machine 

5 5 free vote god war obey virtue resist higher wise caesar 

6 5 put long neighbors neighbor side justice sort head give question 

7 5 tax make live moral locked legislators subject america wisdom hundred 

8 5 men time majority support allegiance conscience truth things injustice questions 

9 5 government man evil law country union humanity disposed army public 

0 5 slavery respect justice reason legislators regard subject politicians expediency speak 

1 5 man massachusetts thousand individual world truth locked treat place good 

2 5 god force things serve wholly constitution reform wise small kind

8 5 men make country god resist makes reason legislators prison union 

9 5 government great standing present american machine wise sense army obey 

Jk. I think Thoreau would be even more baffled than I am. He'd be like, "Sorcery!" or "Transcendentalism!" or something.

Despite attempting to follow the instructions given here for how to use Mallet on a Mac, I couldn't get it working. I'm going to attempt to play with it further later, but I've already spent probably too much of my day on it. It's always fun to get back into the terminal again, though. It reminds me of when I used to play text games on our first Acer in the late '80s or early '90s.
