This is my conversational account. For my work follow @ribbonfarm, @breaking_smart, @artofgig. Tweets are 90% vacuous views, apathetically held. Mediocritopian.

    The Planet of the Apes scenario is not getting enough attention. Current priors: Return to normal: 10% New normal: 15% Permaweird: 40% Min 50y Dark Age: 15% Mad Max: 10% Nazis: 5% Planet of Apes: 5%
