If I could go to a Halloween party, I would go as a doctor and repeatedly tell people "your labs are fine" "it's stress" "you're just deconditioned". I would whisper it in their ear.

My new piece in @noemamag.com - Why the origin of life isn't just about self-replicating chemistry...
The surprisingly lifelike behavior of inanimate chemicals & systems forces us to reconsider our assumptions about where minds reside, @conorfeehly.bsky.social writes.

The question isn’t "why does Signal use AWS?" It’s to look at the infrastructural requirements of any global, real-time, mass comms platform and ask how it is that we got to a place where there’s no realistic alternative to AWS and the other hyperscalers. 3/

The problem with every post-Millennial generation is they got to go straight to high speed internet. Of course you'll get computer madness that way. Make them start with those old screeching modems and work their way up
