The idea that pluralism and freedom are opposites, rather than each a side of the same hand, is the most vital mistake in political understanding right now At some times this mistake is willed and at other times it’s unconscious - a belief that rights are zero sum and that restrictions won’t eventually harm you too

What are the best actual proposals for thinking about the economic transition (job loss from AI, recession, etc.)? More actual proposals, less hand wavy how things should be

I think it might have been easier a thousand years ago to think of history in terms of grand agential arcs, but it’s hard not to see it now as the accretion of billions of near arbitrary dice rolls cast with affinity

I think we really ignore how much of what it is possible for an individual to think is bounded by their network position To be able to think differently (higher signal or aberration in relation to the normal network noise) often requires engaging with different networks of thought, not just consuming novel ideas

I think contemporary art institutions veered wrong when they fell into being “future focused” - interpreting prophetic aesthetic forms have always been at odds with status laden bureaucracies (At odds not in a moral sense where one is good and the other is bad, but in the sense that they should be in conflict, often productively)

Holding yourself accountable but also forgiving yourself, letting past really be past, is the most enduring basis of happiness (that I’ve found) to build upon Similarly, any civil society that doesn’t have this mode of freedom as its basis will create a lot of confusion

It’s interesting to me when people say there will be a new fetish around artisanal human made things post-AI job loss and that this will allow them to continue their work This may be true but it doesn’t really account for where the retail consumer funds to buy said work will come from - it’s a luxury economy all the way up

Is it going to seem weird in the future that we spent a lot of time thinking of little things to sell to each other? Quite possibly

“Become ungovernable” is an understandably popular rally But I think “becoming unbribe-able” is actually a better specified target If you cultivate that quality - I mean really not being swayed by what’s on offer - most other values follow suit
