🙏🏼 Big thanks to everyone for their praise of my new single! It's always a gambit to release intellectual psych-folk about trippy futurism and complexity but it's also a pretty vacant niche and it's what I love to do. Hope you like it too! michaelgarfield.substack.com/p/the-big-ma...

Just finished Ann Leckie's Imperial Radch Trilogy. Incredible! Who else has read this? I want to riff with someone eloquent about the world building on my show.

📯Okay, I'm coining it: The Metacrisis needs Metasolutions, approaches that ask if we're solving the right problem in the first place. You've got more answers than you want; what you need is better questions.
