That was actually a pretty good prediction. They just didn’t account for one genius who revolutionized farming.

Yeah, but how often did Bernie himself repeat those conspiracy theories? Did he ever try to violently overturn the Democratic primary results? Every popular person has some shitty supporters, so you can’t just judge people based on their supporters.

If Ted Chiang could write more than one short story a year, I think he might be the greatest living fiction author. Basically everything he writes is a revelation.

Exhalation isn’t quite as good as Stories of Your Life and Others, but it’s still amazing.

Well, don’t forget that the Good Place is fiction. There’s nothing waiting for you after this except nonexistence, so cling to life and claw every ounce of experience out of it while you can!

I was “in school” until I was almost 30 and got out without any debt. College undergraduate programs are basically theft that is used to pay for people like me and for massive administrative salaries. It’s absolutely a scam.

And yet, big schools, the kind that can afford to really not give a shit about individual students, are some of the only places where true independent research is being done. Cutting edge research generally only happens for profit, for the military, or at universities. Federal grants help pay for it, but another big source of cash is comes from absolutely fucking over 18 year old kids who think they don’t have a choice.

I don’t know what my point is exactly. Just wanted to give you some insider perspective.

My real answer is a book: Slaughterhouse 5. The movie Arrival pretty much does the same thing, though.

It really changed the way I think about my place in time and space, and the meaning of memories. Made me way less sad about death and entropy.
