A paragraph from Isaac Asimov’s “Foundation” published in 1951, speaks of the rise of religiosity in science (“Sciencism”), which is described as a societal rebranding brought about as a result of science’s failures. Immensely prescient. https://t.co/dAHKfqvyTj

From Cixin Liu’s second book in the “Three Body Problem” trilogy. Without getting into spoilers, as the story goes, fundamental sciences has been stagnant for over 200 years. Currently we are coming up on a 100 year anniversary on quantum theory & GR. https://t.co/7DbS6j0CQk

@brian_t_muldoon I think Elon saw this coming, took Twitter private, launched subscription model for additional stream of revenue, will wait until advert bubble crushes all other SM companies (ie meta lol) and will play long game. Twitter may be last one standing. IPO of spacex/starlink meanwhile

@feelsdesperate My favorite essay “Farther Away” by Jonathan Franzen was published in the New Yorker. Those days are long gone.

Re: forever pandemic crowd The late David Graeber in “The Dawn of Everything” elaborates on cultural schismogenesis. Ancient peoples would often forego adopting innovations & material comforts *just* to set themselves apart. https://t.co/5ZmdSf86Ba
