Hello CT. Hanging out by the fire pit tonight. We have added a hammock for the yard and love seat to the screened porch during the quarantine. Greatly enhancing the isolation life. Currently multiple G&Ts deep with Durham Distillery Navy Strength gin. Also threw in a 20mg edible. Probably on my way to being v rekt. Much love to all CTers and hope everyone is staying safe.

20mg edible with multiple G&Ts?? I'd be gone. Enjoy!
 
We just watched a bunch of Lil Dicky’s show. Feeling pretty weird.

Just to conclude the "tell Rico I'm thinking about him" adventure - the message was delivered and acknowledged. He really didn't comment specifically on someone thinking about him, but I will say I wouldn't expect to see him here any time soon.
 
The sports board is a wasteland of recycling 8xdeac takes. I pretty much only go there out of habit as well, that was usually the first one I’d read but it’s practically useless now.
 
Do u guys ever think about how every day we take in more information than our ancestors accessed in their lifetimes? And about how that doesn’t really materially improve or change our lives?
 
i don't necessarily buy the arg that we take in more information every day than our ancestors accessed in their lifetimes. just off the cuff it seems mad dismissive of anything not "modern." certainly there's more "information" out there but has the speed we absorb it really increased exponentially?
 
Yes tho I’ve posted about it in nearly the same words before and it’s especially poignant now when you feel a little walled in

In 1918 you’d be stuck at home trying to learn what you could in the newspapers or by word of mouth

During the plague you essentially had town criers and missives and shit

Does the fact that I can get an RSS feed of Covid-19 preprints from around the world every morning and listen to podcasts about the medical supply chain and behavioral economists musing about retail fluctuations materially change my living situation at home?
 
oh! i took Tom's words a little too literally perhaps. you can certainly choose to take in more information on a single topic than your ancestors might have been able to in a lifetime.

but that's just the fallacy of more information = better life.

plato was right, fuck this writing shit.
 
have you read Gleick's The Information? if this interests you then that's a good step.

love it or leave it
 
What good is information if you have no ability to process the information.
