Klein and Wang critique hyper-optimization for fueling sameness, urging friction and diversity to keep culture dynamic. This too me echoes Mark Fisher’s take where capitalism recycles aesthetics instead of pushing for something new. https://zine.kleinkleinklein.com/p/hyper-optimization-cultural-singularity

IMPORTANT CALL-TO-ACTION incoming. This is my bad news from last week. I wasn’t able to share it publicly until now: I’m no longer with OrbisDB 💔 🚨If you could be a doll and do me the biggest favor by RT/QTing this on X + like + comment + bookmark, it could actually help me find a full time job, potentially freeing up a slot in the top 10 for you! ⭐️ I have so much love for the Farcaster community and the Merkle team for providing me with both emotional and financial support throughout this difficult time! Seriously: I am ineligible to receive unemployment benefits so the Farcaster rewards are coming in super clutch. Don’t worry about me, I’ll be fine! I just really need a job! 🙏

my general rule these days: - I write notes for work, or working an idea out that has links (things i want to through into an LLM later) on my computer - everything else goes into a notebook, sketching, ideas, thinking things through

Leo Rogers in the article discusses a pervasive global crisis in self-esteem. https://psyche.co/ideas/the-masculinity-crisis-is-actually-a-crisis-of-self-esteem I’d also argue that the self-esteem crisis in men fuels gender wars. As traditional roles fade, many struggle for worth, leading to resentment and backlash. In unequal societies, where status competition is fierce, this only deepens gender tensions.

Also the other side of the coin to writing a lot - is honestly just reading. Reading not because it’s a cool but just reading whatever your heart desires. I remember in 2022 I read a bunch of books that July from 2021 would have thought were stupid, but who cares - the point is just follow the thread You don’t have to justify anything to anyone except who you are today

"Only In Your Eyes explores the idea of time as an unrelenting river that can carry us and our loved ones away. In this river of time nothing is as important as our attempts to find comfort, meaning, and happiness with the ones we love, even though we know some will reach the end of the river before us."

I used to think I was terrible at writing, and I told myself that I was more into math and logic. Then I thought, well it may be the other way around. Now I'm just thinking - well, what's the difference ultimately anyway? We make these boundaries between subjects so it's to organize and understand them. But ultimately - is there a difference?
