Kate Moss is the odd supermodel out in the 90s. By comparison she has low fluency because her features are idiosyncratic and harder to understand. Kate’s eyes are feline, she’s angular and jaunty and so our brain is working harder to understand what is going on, but we become beguiled by the differences rather than the similarities and we find a...

What risk are we radically underestimating as a species? What are we overestimating?

I think we’ve still underestimated the harms of scrolling. I am careful to say “scrolling” because I don’t think social media is itself a bad thing, nor do I think screens are uniformly bad. I think it’s specifically the act of scrolling, which forces us to ingest,... See more

This is gangsterism, the thing that comes after capitalism collapses into feudalism. In gangsterism, "fairness" and "power" have no place. All that's left is a kind of caveat emptor brainworm that insists that if you got scammed, you should have shopped more carefully.

Drawing on philosophers Byung-Chul Han and Heidegger, he writes about how modern workers are conditioned to optimize, perform, and self-regulate until their labor becomes disconnected from any internal source. Meaning isn’t lost through exhaustion, it rather slips... See more

The point of AI isn't to make workers more productive, it's to make them weaker when they bargain with their bosses. Another of Bindley's sources went through eight rounds of interviews with a company, received an offer, countered with a request for 12% more than the offer, and had the job withdrawn, because "the company didn’t want to move ahead...

I've been traveling for 30+ years. I've had all the troubles one can possibly imagine. By now, I know exactly what I want and I could go on for another few pages. Honestly, my travel preferences have evolved into a body of knowledge that could rival an EU Commission Directive. And I haven't even discussed my demands for trains (few transfers... See more
