Night. The House of Chimes - a tower which you might immediately think of as Big Ben - is adrift in the River Thames. It still seems to be keeping time. In the background, a large, alien building looms over the city of London.

Aesop's The Cock and the Jewel. Ink and gouache on Fabriano Medioevalis, 132 x 85 mm.

'A Cock, scratching the ground for something to eat, turned up a Jewel that had by chance been dropped there. “Ho!” said he, “a fine thing you are, no doubt, and, had your owner found you, great would his joy have been. But for me, give me a single grain of corn before all the jewels in the world.” '

Aesop’s Fables, translated by V.S. Vernon Jones (1912)

Silhouette illustration in black ink of a rooster looking upon a jewel glittering in the grass. The rooster's comb and wattle are painted in red gouache.

What is happening is not that AI-generated cultural goods are replacing human-made cultural goods; what is happening is that capital is flowing out of the production of cultural goods *entirely,* making us all poorer for it.

when people talk about the death of third spaces they mostly just seem to mean the mall, a thing that didn't exist for most of US history and also, notably, does still exist even if it's less popular now

One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time. Do not hoard what seems good for a later place in the book or for another book; give it, give it all, give it now. The impulse to save something good for a better place later is the signal to spend it now. Something more will arise for later, something better. These things fill from behind, from beneath, like well water. Similarly, the impulse to keep to yourself what you have learned is not only shameful, it is destructive. Anything you do not give freely and abundantly becomes lost to you. You open your safe and find ashes.

You don't have an inalienable right to be an antisocial dipshit because you're doomscrolling all day and it makes you feel terrible. There are no qualifiers to this. You are not released from the obligation to try to be decent just because Elon Musk is lighting the world on fire.

similarly, "speculative fiction writers have a duty In These Times to present utopian* visions--" no we don't. Individual artists are not going to bootstrap us into a better world, are not responsible for bad morale if we need to write metaphorical dystopias in our creative explorations.

Whatever you do, don't smoke an entire brisket at a job interview, it's a lot of equipment to bring in, it takes a really long time to do it right and those conference rooms have notoriously poor ventilation
