Venkatesh Rao@vgr·Jan 22, 2021Everybody around me is either too damn clever or depressingly dumb. Wish I had a reliable test of mediocrity. Plus or minus meh from where I am.143104
Venkatesh Rao@vgr·Jan 22, 2021Cleverness has an expiry date. If you don’t use it all up by that date, it goes bad and stinks up the fridge. Lots of stinky cleverness around too.3548
Venkatesh Rao@vgrIf you run out before you can afford to, you’ll have to settle for trying to be a good person instead, which sucks. That’s why I put myself on the slightly evil ration plan when peak cleverness started to loom.6:03 AM · Jan 22, 202122 Likes
