Belief is the most powerful drug and our greatest superpower. Innovation, invention, social systems, and even language itself rest on shared and individual beliefs. But is this a defining hallmark of humanity, or do elephants, dolphins, and other species believe as we do? Have we manifested Sapien Supremacy?

Culture needs broad participation to *be* culture. The brightest innovations have always come from the masses and margins. Epics like The Odyssey, 西遊記, Beowulf, and 1001 Nights were born from oral tradition. Kabuki and K-pop first thrived in red-light districts, and The Globe was built by a joiner-turned-actor. Fashion and music follow the same pattern. Jeans, Stanley, Carhartt, sneakers, and streetwear all first became popular in working-class communities. The Beatles met in public school, and nearly every modern and popular music genre—hip-hop, rock, jazz, pop, and country— is the result of the appropriation of marginalized Black communities. The wealthy being in a non marginalized minority can only adopt and amplify cultural trends.

When phrases enter the vernacular, it’s natural to forget their semantic power. Today I was reminded of the eloquence behind “touch grass”. What better way to anchor oneself amidst digital disorientation than by literally grounding oneself on the earth and connecting with life.

Hi there, my real name is also Mike. I’m unsure if this channel is for crypto degeneracy or exclusively for the degen coin, or if the two are one and the same

I can tell how well something is designed by how little I need to think during interaction. The more mental bandwidth something requires, the more poorly I perceive the design

ChatGPT has become my Magic 8 Ball for task completion. Still undecided if that’s positive, but I’ve been told “outlook good”

Is it just me or do workouts left unrecorded feel like they don’t count? New plan: all the workouts I forget to conclude on my watch now count too. Pleased to report that I’ll be exercising for out at least 72 hours this week.

The new “Are you sure you want to cast that” feature is great! I’ve already used it in composing this cast.

Do any casters here write creatively? Would be cool to find a couple of cool people who want to do a thing together weekly. I’m think of a very small output of 250 words

The sentence “I passed out at 9pm” has taken on a completely different meaning now that I have kids and am in my 30’s
