amazing looking mass market paperback right here. they used to really nail the paperback game with top notch graphic design.

probably start with a general response to the HEC piece. or maybe something on blindness. or a secret third thing. not really sure at this point.

yeah—mencius moldbug. you know the type. not surprising to be connected to the whole HEC thing honestly.

yes, i saw that. through some journal out of ljubljana, šum. they are also publishing in that same issue an article from someone adjacent/associated with the HEC, Hunt-Hendricks, called “byzantine accelerationism” or whatever

i am just as surprised as you are!! i guess pigs can fly indeed.
i am curious to read it. can’t wait for my brain to melt and leak out my ears.

not a phone in sight. just living in the moment.

incredible stuff. amazing what someone will send an email about.

RRR. hands down. incredible cinematic experience on the big screen.

didn’t know i needed this

curious about more of your thoughts. i had some stints in reading han, and presented a paper on his work years ago. i started to find his work pretty conservative in some of its views personally.

when it finally starts vibing and stops worrying

what i want to unpack is the notion that blindness is a helpful critique of knowing, mastery, etc., not the negation as such of knowing, mastery, etc.
