Venkatesh Rao @vgrAlice is actually a bit of a high-authoritah jerk like Cartman, crossed with a high-ADHD weirdo improv artist who just rolls with whatever. Alice in Wonderland is just one giant Yes, And to absurdity, navigating murdered time with high agency, but low meaningfulness.Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 0 likesShow this thread -

Venkatesh Rao @vgrOddly enough, I was the least rebellious teenager ever. Simple open rejectionism is not actually much fun. Quiet, imaginative subversion of over-evangelized norms, served slightly chilled, is much better. That takes adult sensibilities/agency. Teens can't really pull that off.Show this thread1 reply 0 retweets 0 likesShow this thread -

Nah, all good. Useful review. I wouldn’t have searched for that myself.

I just noticed that being stuck in certain meetings and video-calls sends my sense of agency off a cliff edge.

And did I have anything useful to say about that?

I'd say the deep dive had three benefits: - collected material to think about later - complicated my view of agency - gave me more interesting things to think about than my current problem

Now I'm distracted by thinking about semantic disruption and middle-class antiassets.
