    There's a definite fun deficit in the world. Fun recession ongoing.

        I love how you tweet references to other tweeters w/out tagging and it just works so much better — I ended up following you bc of that random tweet about Beiser, Backus, Kwok, etc and a millennial think tank - weird how common knowledge becomes common within subcultures

        I live in NY and I feel the fun deficit pretty hard. The common "fun" activities here e.g. Drinking With Friends all have that flavor of hedonist desperation mentioned downthread.

        If fun is so necessary, why do we have dystopian fiction? Adversity is lot fun than one may think. Spartans laugh at an army that's coming against them.

        Dystopian science fiction is fun. Actually living in a dystopia is definitely not fun.

        Interesting, I feel like the world is now more hedonistic than most times in history

        fun is not the same as hedonism... hedonism ultimately has a desperation to it
