I think you're right unless the person is disabled or almost anyone inside of an extreme religious context, or a context where they are a member of a small minority group. But these exact arguments were made about book…
I feel like you would love the book "Simulacra and Simulation" by Jean Baudrillard. It agrees with you, and there's a sense in which you're right. I wonder what you think our eyes are doing, though, and what you think…
I absolutely will. I am.
I don't think the intentions of those men matter, though, when it comes to whether or not they are creating new mediums for self expression. It won't be those men who make the art. Most of Michaelangelo's working…
Yeah this is the part that really sucks

Yeah, this is how I feel. "Reality" is already heavily mediated. Why are people so enraged that a person might want to mediate or enhance it further? Often lately the same people who claim they value "creativity" and…
I don't think so. We had genocide and thousand-year periods of enslavement and colonialism and existential despair (and existentialism) and mechanization and atomization that led to the "elevation" and isolation of…

This is basically how I respond to requests myself. Sometimes a single short sentence will cause me to slowly spit out a few words. Other times I can respond instantly to paragraphs of technical information with high…
Every time this happens at the companies I’ve worked at, it’s been because the business didn’t think the need was worth prioritizing over the other business needs. I’ve never been in an environment where IT got to make…
I guess this makes sense if you don’t use a Second Brain/PARA/Zettelkasten/etc. system, but my entire life is structured around Obsidian (at home) and OneNote (at work). If you’re just throwing notes into a note-taking…
