The oldest known tree is a bristlecone pine in the US somewhere, but the National Forest Service keeps its exact location a secret.
Because someone would invariably cut it down.

I published a short essay on a pattern that seems to repeat across a lot of human domains. I think it has a good deal of explanatory power! davidps.substack.com/p/making-it-...

is there such a thing as live tour review bsky? Is it too difficult to construct a personality around or algorithmically surface? ...as I watch blownout concert footage from 11 years ago instead of search for such a feed

I'll be writing a bit every week, because more fiction, music and science across more little pockets of digital wasteland feels better and tiny pinpoints of hope can shine through the bitter wind from anywhere and if they are there I should share them, and hope you do too

Working on one of two different new essays, both of which I started many months ago:
One, called something like Performative Effort Minimization as a Style
The other, called Every Sigmoid Has an Exponential Component
So either, how the economy rewards laziness or how AGI's never coming to help us

I'm still slightly in shock, but thrilled, about this. But, in one month I'll be flying to England to give a talk about my setting of Wordsworth for my new album (and new project more generally)! It's at this conference of Wordsworth scholars: www.wordsworthconferences.org.uk/summer-confe...
