it will be incredible easy to be successful beyond your wildest imagination over the next few decades if you just manage to not go insane. the issue is all of society is orientating around driving you into total insanity, and selling your soul to an increasingly cosmic set of sin

So if you want to understand capitalism, you need to be talking to small business owners, portfolio managers, and Marxists. Nobody else can really talk about it with any substance.

I have tried and failed at this before, but I really am resolving in good faith to try to spend less time posting on here for things that aren't directly promoting longer work by me or others. I learn a lot on X, but it's a real mind poison too. slowboring.com/p/americans-n…

People will blame this on everyone working harder/more but that’s not true. People in the past worked long hours and still socialized. This is all about endless on demand screen-based home entertainment. Which, I hasten to add, is evil
Wow, Friday night has become just another weeknight in terms of socialization.

I wrote a substack post?
Someone could probably write a book (if they haven’t already) about the cycle of technology productizing the removal of friction in the name of convenience only for us to discover that the friction was a load-bearing part of the social compact.
