I'm done with the nihilism
Retreating from the world won't save it: Thinking about recent elections, my state of mind, real-world filter bubbles, and our current Biedermeier age.

I did a thing: I started my own substack 💖
lately I've been ruminating a lot (haven't we all) and I wanted to make that more productive - less despair, more doing things.
hope you enjoy reading - it's going to be reflective thoughts about politics/tech/society at large & wtv I find interesting 🧠

ChatGPT is down but The Museum of English Rural Life still stands, proving once again that Silicon Valley cannot compete with the history of rural England and its people.

the fundamental disconnect between the manosphere and reality is that they are incapable of understanding that this is - according to every woman I’ve ever met - the sexiest thing a man has ever done
eight years ago today we all watched the glory of zendaya falling madly in love with tom holland and the internet was never the same

Hierauf aufbauender Gedanke: Wenn ich sehr reich wäre, ich würde social media nur noch analog nutzen. Ich hätte Assistenten, die mir morgens/abends wie dem Kanzler eine Mappe mit dem Wichtigsten ausgedruckt hinlegen. Über den Tag notieren sie meine Einfälle und posten eine Auswahl davon.
So ein Auto wie bei Tour de France fährt neben dir und dein Teamchef brüllt dir die neuesten Insta-Benachrichtigungen rüber

On the anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, we thought we'd answer a question that's often asked,
"If they raised the Mary Rose, why not raise the Titanic?"

me as a child: I can't believe my poor great-grandma had to live through both a global pandemic and a global economic collapse
me now: I can't believe my lucky great-grandma got to wait nine whole years between her global pandemic and global economic collapse

Eine Mehrheit der Deutschen ist für eine Reichensteuer. Eine Mehrheit ist für Tempolimit. Eine Mehrheit erwartet mehr Einsatz für die Klimapolitik. Eine Mehrheit hat Angst vor Fremdenfeindlichkeit und dass die AfD an die Macht kommt.
Und die stärksten Parteien ignorieren diese Mehrheiten.

obviously trying to find intellectual rigour in their arguments is a fool's errand but christ how can you both go for "we need to restore trust in politics" and "oh naturally we should let the woman who committed several crimes run for office"

We have changed the trajectory of future warming over the course of my lifetime. The worst-case climate scenarios are no longer likely. That’s not due to modeling uncertainty; it’s because of activism. No one gets to erase that just because they find a perverse comfort in the certainty of defeat.

this is the core of the aggrieved tech billionaire archetype. Sam says it aloud. the way many of them see the techlash is that, one day they were Great Men of History and the next, with zero warning, they were inexplicably villains. everything that comes after stems from an inability to examine this

no one is forcing them to gamble on crypto or sports betting. no one is forcing them to treat hard work and diligence like it's "for girls." no one is forcing them to retreat from any kind of connection with other people. take. responsibility. for. your. life.

Yup - that's mostly how he has been successful. Find nerds (not a derogatory term) with dreams, and offers to fund those dreams.
Everyone who has made money off Musk has made a deal with the devil. But they figure they can control him.
We see how well this has worked out.

Well caring deeply about politics turned out to be a mistake. Time to instead become emotionally invested in a field where I’ll never be let down: sports

People love complaining about how ‘kids these days” have no respect but the President and Vice President of the United States of America are wildly disrespectful for sport and those same people think it’s entertaining and honorable.
It’s the adults.

Demokratie heißt auch: Die friedliche Übergabe der Macht an der Spitze der Staatsverwaltung. Nach dem Hin und Her der letzten Monate ist es gut, dass sich eine neue Koalition mit einer tragfähigen Mehrheit gefunden hat. 1/5
