A lot of Nostalgia is dumb but by focusing on dumb ppl this kind of discussion dodges the real counterfactuals that people are intuiting.
Essentially: what would life be like if we didn't misuse or just annihilate a huge % of prosperity and public beauty along the way.
Did people actually have it better in the 1950s?
In my latest for @WSJFreeEx, I debunk some common nostalgic myths.

they're rolling out Hydrogen before announcing it 😌
unrelated but Google needs to take a page from Anthropic and stop announcing announcements and just try saying:
"we put out a new model 30 minutes ago lol have fun"
over and over for a year and then maybe they'll get some usage statistics they so desperately need

funny analogy because to remain productive I think of my youth playing RTS games and imagine a tiny korean coach in the back of my head whispering over and over
"APM APM APM APM APM APM,
APM APM APM APM APM APM"
if you don't keep actions per minute up, you're not going to win
Quand tu es NEET, la vie devient un tour par tour où tu ne peux faire qu'une seule action par jour. Aujourd'hui je suis allé chercher un colis, on verra demain pour la suite

it seems unusual to implode a 4 trillion dollar company over this, isn't it more parsimonious to assume there's something like jail time on the table for skirting export controls?
I have no opinion on what ought to happen, only that for what has happened, the currently available information/reasons seem so incomplete that its surprising anyone would take it at face value.

Imagine hunting mice all night and then sitting on a coffee-scented human, your fat rump turned to the fire
one benefit of heating by wood stove is that this is that there is a whole season of doing this first thing in the morning and the last 30 mins of being awake at night
Life coming from every pore, food is default delicious. Ability to appreciate the sensuous, the grotesque, rudeness, the profane even. Love of art and whatever is visceral, lust with laughter. Appreciation of harassing and being harassed, you should WANT to harass each other, be trying to make each other blush. It should feel like blood is flowing when someone is near. Innate desire to pour effort in, to push. All relief is temporary, just like hunger, to a healthy person. It keeps coming back. You should find a way of being a little bit crazy.
or maybe: how badly do you want to drive someone crazy vs hoping they just do something
there's an urgency generated and without that = low libido
I think a lot of people would say blah blah frequency some way or another but that doesn't capture it, just an effect

unambitious year for adding to my orchard

trying to decide the default color preset for Nocta. Currently its the left, Chrome
1st is more opinionated, has some nice features. 2nd is closer to real film scans, but also fairly tan/orange on skin tones and if people don't watch white balance closely, they'll be annoyed
