First listen in almost a decade. A big disappointment! Nowhere near as good as its reputation suggests. Makes me appreciate Metallica more, because I've heard some of their stuff recently and it does sorta hold up.

there is a strain of lefty discourse where you can’t come to any unflattering conclusions about the populace—those must be explained away by how they are being acted upon by capital—but I think you’ll understand things better if you understand capital can also exploit weaknesses it didn’t create

1) this is mostly rational

3) an illustration of the declining marginal utility of money which makes inequality so pernicious to human welfare

If you had a choice between instantly receiving £50,000 or a 50% chance to win £1m, which would you pick?
£50,000: 73%
50/50 chance of winning £1m: 21%

just tossing this out there, but perhaps spending hours a day plugged into a machine where you get rewarded for detecting and repeatedly validating the consensus of your peers is not good for anyone's critical thinking abilities and might have some negative consequences for all involved

It's just obvious that there is no good reason, at all, for the government to legislate what toilets you can go into. This is a thing that civil society was quite capable of working out. We're here because the GCs found civil society didn't share their rabid obsessive hatred so they played the refs.

Right - and this isn't something that you can treat as being separate from morality. We have a moral obligation to understand the world if we are going to act upon it.

Nobody who pays this tax is going to be unable to buy a single thing that they could buy in the absence of the tax. It’s not about buying power; it’s about power, period. They feel that democracies wielding power against them violates the laws of nature

Pixies formed 40 years ago this month when Kim Deal answered Black Francis’ ad in ‘The Boston Phoenix.’ She arrived at the audition without a bass since she’d never played one before. Guitarist Joey Santiago picked “pixies” from a dictionary, suggesting Pixies In Panoply as their name. #tbt

One way to understand Isaac Newton is that numerologists had been trying to predict the natural world for thousands of years, and he was the first to get it right.

Kind of interesting: I thought the thing where the word "capitalism" is so vague it can mean anything from consumerism cronyism to the right to own private property was relatively recent, but here's Chesterton complaining about it in 1927

The subcategorization/tropefication of popular fiction has been very bad in general, both for authors and readers.
The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

This is sort of a heartening result: It suggests a lot of people we tend to dismiss as hopelessly beyond reasoning with aren’t necessarily; it just takes an inhuman tolerance for politely engaging with nonsense.
Featuring (among other things) something that AI is demonstrably better at than a typical human: talking people out of their conspiratorial beliefs. Unlimited patience really is a virtue.

worth applying to politics as well. when you're criticizing an action people take "taking the better action next time" is only one of the alternatives people will consider, and worth remembering that "not bothering at all" is another.
