    The world is top-down and “spooky” rather than bottom-up and simplistically materialist. Demons are real.

    This is Good. (And not primarily about "the culture war", but rather about the contemporary breakdown of meaning.)

    The guy who invented the locomotive had to do an experiment to prove to himself that a vehicle could move itself simply by turning its own wheels 🚂

    “This is the great paradox of the end of the Cold War: the future, or rather the future-less present, arrived first in Russia. We are only now catching up.”

    Feels like the zeitgeist knows that we aren't-- and more importantly shouldn't be-- a democracy.

    Seeing lots of "oh, everyone's now an Iran expert??" takes on my feed. This fascinates me, because it feels like a huge shift from the old myth of American democracy. In that myth, citizens learning and debating the topics of the day was supposed to be a very good thing.

    if someone claims to be the second coming of steve jobs, the first question I ask is, how do they talk to their families about household appliances? people focus too much on the "great" part of "insanely great" obsession runs all the way through

    This is the point in the story where my head exploded. You’re steering a warship. Each control at your station might affect the ship. Or it might do nothing. Nothing on each control clearly indicates whether it’s active. If you operate an inactive control? No warning. 😱

    (It is underappreciated how much of YC’s success is having close to a monopoly on telling the target audience “We think you are capable of doing something that actually matters.”)

    Yes! Author/critic addresses sci-fi and TINA shortcomings in imagining & predicting future “The looming climate emergency is proving the axiom that “it’s easier to imagine the end of the human race than it is to imagine the end of capitalism.”

    This is what I think of every time someone smugly posts about all the plot holes they spotted in a popular film/TV show/book.

    I see reviews of the decade about to end and different cultural milestones that defined us but I believe few moments represent the '10s better than this: a common person taking a complex task in their hands with no skill or preparation delivering a perplexing result for posterity

    (Using the energy from this compliment to talk more about why Make Many Thing is so cool to me) There is interestingness in repetition that you cannot anticipate until you have the body of work. If you make 100 omelettes in a row you will likely notice nuanced things about them

    If you ever wanna post something strange, fun, weird etc but you’re worried about what other people will say, feel free to start with “ asked me to do this, so...”

    Thread: My nephew sent me a link to an article about Evangelical terrorism in Brazil. I haven't really paid attention to Brazil, other than knowing it was right wing clusterf*ck led by a Trumplike maniac named Bolsonaro. But damn, this article is crazy 1/

    The most over-the-top postmodernists I've ever encountered were a group of academic architects.

    The most ridiculous thing about this is they're … a luggage company. They sell luggage. If they didn't sell luggage, other people would sell luggage. The task at hand could not possibly be less urgent.
