Carefully curated recommendations for curious minds who love when something makes them go «Huh, I never thought of it this way!».
This short essay from 2010 has only become more relevant. 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. So, on an individual level, «we’ll increasingly be defined by what we say no to.»
From Weekly Filet #476, in February 2024.
