Carefully curated recommendations for curious minds who love when something makes them go «Huh, I never thought of it this way!».

The thesis: technological progress means that «increasing numbers of things we like will be transformed into things we like too much.» And the tricky part: As a species, we wouldn’t want to stop it.

From Weekly Filet #476, in February 2024.
