    This thread is a fascinating micro-essay that does what the best essays do: points out something important that you've seen many times, but never consciously analyzed.https://twitter.com/Meaningness/status/1156967897673035776 …

    Paul Graham added,

    Many disdainful comments re @patrickc/@tylercowen: “Arrogant tech bros ignorant of the existing fields of history & sociology of science & technology, gah” I’d like to point out some broad patterns of academic dysfunction manifesting here (🧵)

        There is an answer to how Progress happens. Higher and more complex societies have more complex integration of information. In order to have that, the core element is empathy in the social system. Conway's Law.
