I haven’t read Postoffice, thank you for bringing it up—Demian, Siddhartha and Journey to the East were my teenage Hesse, though Steppenwolf has absolutely golden sections for me too—I will look for it!
My dear friend is an asshole and a big fan of Bukowski so that tracks 😂
this plus the recent conversation between danny knowles and mark goodwin dovetails uncomfortably well

could be surprisingly effective
A-game right there

The recent conversation with Mark Goodwin and Danny Knowles has opened up a new set of questions and expanded the rabbit hole for me. I’m going to have to research it more before I can draw any conclusions, but Silicon Valley is pretty clearly an epicenter of duplicitous, contradictory shit. Feeling a lot like Sauron before he was fully malintent.
He’s very funny and his rhetorical game is strong. I think Cicero would have approved.
It absolutely is, I think self-consciously so
thank you for this video!
that was my morning today too, but then I remember my 6th grade year when i wore shorts every day, 365 days, except when skiing. We had two weeks at -27° and I was ridiculous in basketball shorts, parka and winter boots, but kids move a lot 🤷
another angle no 🐧

Well written! I think another thing to add, and something that we’ve all seen happen more blatantly, is when the subtle changes have been made there is a foundation upon which to make large transformations when a crisis occurs. Examples include putting in place a law like the Patriot Act, or the “too big to fail” designations during the GFC.
I love Bayo Akomolafe’s reframing of this situation:
“What if the ways we respond to the crisis is part of the crisis?”
The forward written on his website is wonderfully, poetically articulate on this reframing.
