I just read an article that contained the word “interbellum” as in interbellum period. How fucked up is it that: 1. There’s a word for the period between WWI and WWII, and 2. We instantly know what it means?

I have to ask, do they only teach the children of labor that personal honor and integrity still matter? The children of capital do not seem to exemplify those values

Yes, there are many benefits of cutting back. But bars are closing. Jobs are going away. And a way of being together can feel harder to find.

I am thinking of all the foundational papers in science that are less than 90 pages long. Papers that rigorously present seminal ideas we use everyday whether we realize it or not. Physics, telecom, computer science, math. 90 pages to present an argument? One wonders about the quality of thinking
