  • Capital demands growth. It doesn’t care how you do it. It doesn’t track or reward whether you did it by making the world better or by creating death squads and working with the CIA to kill thousands of people and overthrow a government that wanted to charge you taxes and limit the amount of land you could have.

    It’s been this way, and worse, for a long time. But bear in mind that Twitter gave us the ability to see how billionaires think. Modern media made them more accessible. They didn’t change, our knowledge of them did.




  • a lot of AI is really just fancy statistics stuff. Years and years ago, I was doing an introductory lesson on some AI tools and the example given was predicting the price of rent or the price of a house. There’s likely a mixture of the statistics part to predict and the algorithmic part to increase the amount and see if people bite.

    It turns out, most will when everyone is using it bc being homeless kinda sucks.











  • dancing and dance classes are a great way to meet people there’s an app called meetup - use it to meet up with people go to trivia night follow local gathering places and check out their schedules if you’re in a larger city, there may be a Do{yourAreaCode} website with a list of things that are going on joining a food or drink tour in your own city is actually quite fun and locals/new comers do it as well book club? people rarely read books. they mainly hang out

    expand your route, linger in public, be friendly, walk through open doors. but you have to leave the house.

    and yes, I do these things (haven’t done a book club yet) and yes, I meet new people, even when I was in a small town. I made an entire friend group by going to meetup events.


  • It’s still 1,600 years, with full human lifespans contained in them. It doesn’t matter how many other years there are, a year is still a year, and 1,600 contains 60-70 or so generations.

    Anyone can zoom out to make things seem relatively smaller, but that doesn’t change the scale of anything for the people living in it.
