When I bestride him, I soar, I am a hawk: he trots the air; the earth sings when he touches it; the basest horn of his hoof is more musical than the pipe of Hermes. — William Shakespeare, in Henry V

Good morning, It's a gloomy autumn morning... but the title of this piece is a little bit too much even for an autumn morning ;-) Johann Sebastian Bach’s Komm, süßer Tod. Played by Vikingur Ólafsson. https://open.spotify.com/track/78ZQZ1nae0lrke7sImLN0L?si=iP0WEeR-Qp6uLOSVGy5vRA

The BBC did a podcast episode about @balajis.eth concept of network states and focused on the Praxis network state idea. They framed it right wing and overall a very tech bro idea, that nobody really needs. This episode has a very conspiratorial tone. I don’t know if it’s worth your time but if you’re interested, here’s a link. https://podcasts.apple.com/de/podcast/the-coming-storm/id1601195264?i=1000671446445 I’m not a member of the nation state channel, so feel free to cross post.

To be happy at home, said Johnson, is the end of all human endeavour. As long as we are thinking only of natural values we must say that the sun looks down on nothing half so good as a household laughing together over a meal, or two friends talking over a pint of beer, or a man alone reading a book that interests him; and that all economics, politics, laws, armies, and institutions, save in so far as they prolong and multiply such scenes, are a mere ploughing the sand and sowing the ocean, a meaningless vanity and vexation of spirit. — C. S. Lewis

Didn’t know that Glenn Gould had such a harsh opinion on Mozart. “A bad composer who died too late rather than too early” — Glenn Gould I definitely don’t share his opinion.
