The success of book summary services, like Blinkist, rides on the fact that...
1. Many books are fluff that actually fit better in a short, bulleted format.
2. It makes us _feel_ like we're learning, assuaging our anxiety-driven push for intellectual output & productivity,

A lot of "cringe" is people trying to police others behavior because they lack the courage to be their authentic & vulnerable selves, and it's easier to poke at others as an ego defense.
It's also the trivialization of a deeper issue: shame.

I wrote a section-by-section summary of G.A. Cohen's "Freedom and Money". (Like a normal person.)
Cohen criticizes liberal Rawls & Berlin for ceding to right-wing political philosophers by agreeing with the premise that lack of money is to suffer simply lack of means & not interference of freedom.

I wrote a simplified, section-by-section summary of "Chapter. V. Of Property" from John Locke's "Second Treatise Of Government".
Locke argues that people come to acquire property rights by “mixing their labour” with natural resources.

Had to authenticate the app, enter the 2fa security code, and solve a captcha just so I can rotate my smart fan 20 degrees without getting out of bed.

I'm a big advocate for gender affirming care— including medically.
Which is why I support cis men seeking things like Rogaine, Viagra, & testosterone replacement therapy.

Barbie movie was great! I'm a fan of Greta Gerwig.
It explored feminism, capitalism, toxic masculinity, womanhood contradictions, and life's purpose.
Hari Nef as trans Barbie was lovely & not tokenized. But I do also wish for a more _conspicuously visible_ trans character. And how about trans men?

if you're trans, but can pass as your assigned gender at birth in most interactions, and a trans woman is like "hey what you're doing is shitty for trans people," consider saying something other than "I'm trans too!"

State of the tech market in 2023 🧵
- Venture funding is getting smaller. Without VC, companies grow more slowly.
- Based on funds raised now, the future volume of tech vc looks like it will be much smaller than in 2020-22.
