    A Semantics/NLP researcher taught me the most important lesson I learned in college: Language is unbelievably difficult and how we produce or interpret it is essentially inscrutable. It’s worth giving people many chances to be understood.

    2nd largest threat: The belief that American military superiority is solely a force for destruction. 3rd: The belief that social justice is separable from economic justice.

    The biggest threat to global liberalism is the pervasive, implicit idea among liberals that because the US is imperfect, it is just as bad as Russia/China/Iran/NK. must win.

    I hope that globalism’s next target is the European concept of breakfast. A croissant and 13 varieties of sliced ham is not breakfast.

    Capitalism on stupid mode: When alumni from fundamentally unworkable businesses like and exit with millions of dollars and then start deploying it via investment in their bros’ similarly unworkable businesses.

    It’s a shame that precision and accuracy are taught by their definitions and a bullseye diagram. Missed opportunity to begin engaging with “dimensions of correctness” — a useful concept that’s consistently obscured by our society’s tendency toward scalar evaluations

    Undersold benefit of regular exercise: Much stronger signal as to your body’s and mind’s performance. The impact of your decisions re food, hydration, alcohol, sleep, stress become much more evident. (Totally unrelated to my decisions this weekend)

    America will be ruled for the next decade by whichever party is able to implode slower over the course of 2020. Race to the bottom applied to global leadership is frightening.

    The political tension between capital and labor entirely misses the third ingredient for production: land. Landlords did not create the land, they do not make the land valuable, they ought not reap the reward. End universal and pass Land Value Tax

    Disclaimer for the future: I plan to look back with disdain on nearly everything I write here. If I don’t cringe, I either haven’t written with sincerity or made sufficient progress in life.

    A good UI is a translation layer that maps the concepts of the user in/out of concepts of a system. Designers often spend too little time understanding the system, so it hardly matters how well they understand the user. The cure-all of more user research doesn’t help.

    It’s shocking how much incoherent shit you believe right up until the point you write it down and read it back to yourself.

    The weight of your ethical burden grows in proportion to your impact on the world ‘s culture scared the fuck out of me in 2015: hero worship of Zuck and Sheryl and lack of self-critique. The org culturally can’t steer itself through this

    Low-level lawlessness is built into the American psyche. Imagine tech that detected every speeder and jay walker in the country. Even if it protected privacy 100%, the capability would be unacceptable. How can laws more precisely map to our actual desires?

    Wealth inequality is the single most important existential risk to solve today. We must empower those who cannot simply migrate away from climate change, quarantine from drug-resistant bacteria, or rocket away from nuclear apocalypse.
