    I will never not be amazed that the Wright Brothers’ first flight and Apollo 11 were only separated by 65 years.

    This was me at 14 yrs old, playing Wolfenstein, teaching myself HTML to create anime websites and roleplaying in Yahoo chat. ~20 yrs later, here is me, on Bungie's game design page (come work with me!), creating worlds and leading teams. You can too.

    (If you're curious, I was thinking about surprises because of this test: , and it got me thinking—in theory, I should absolutely LOVE surprises.)

    I'll say that I "hate surprises," but more accurately, I hate disappointing surprises (and in my life, they've always been disappointing). I'm curious to know: - Is this common? - If you love surprises, do you avoid imagining what they could be in advance?

    Writing is simultaneously hard and a bit too easy: very easy to just blah blah blah, very hard to write concisely and effectively to a point.

    Samesies. Also, from earlier this year:

    I want something that will grab my kindle highlights/notes and email them to anyone who subscribes (or post them on a page publicly). I would also be interested in following other people in the same way.

    Sometimes I wonder whether Virtual Reality has gotten so good that we’ve lost all urge to invent the actual reality that it imitates.

    Also ties nicely into why rationalist fanfic works so oddly well for fantasy, two genres you'd instinctively think would be at odds.

    This is why poorly written SF/F can still be great SF/F (looking at you Asimov). And why folks spend years of their life arguing hypotheticals of a non-existent world. Why canon is important. Aplies through any medium of the world: games, books, fanfics, movies.

    I've always found it curious that sci-fi and fantasy fans also seem to tend towards rationalism/systems thinking. Last night it hit me—duh: artificial worlds *are* systems. The narratives are about exploring the system. Bad SF/F = egregiously inconsistent systems.

    I know this has been said before, but it doesn't hurt to be repeated: If you enjoy reading a paper, e-mail the authors and tell them about it. There's enough competition in academia. But we could definitely use a bit more courtesy and kindness.
