All which has me thinking about the deep cultural acceptance among professionals that you are allowed to go through a long period of amoral selling out so you can acquire not just personal comfort but comfort for a legacy before you turn around and do good. And how it’s bullshit.

Blessed are those who pre-order books, for they believe in the future and believe in art and conduct themselves accordingly.

Took the kayak down the Icelandic river to where it hits Lake Winnipeg. Most of the evening, the sky was quite dull, and then it exploded.
A brilliant red and deep orange sunset streaks across the sky behind the silhouettes of a small clump of trees in the middle of a field. All of this is reflected, almost perfectly in the water in the foreground. Taken from a kayak.

80% of AI news at this point consists of a company announcing “we wrote a computer virus” then there’s something about the apocalypse or regulation, then the next news story is like “we wrote another computer virus.”
