FWIW, I don’t think the major problem in my field, or related ones, is that people need to move faster & produce more. I read a lot of papers as part of the job, and I’m increasingly convinced we’d benefit from fewer papers and better ones, not more mediocre work produced ever more “efficiently.”

Do you ever think about how Georges Bataille and his French sociologist friends all got so obsessed with ritual human sacrifice that they formed a secret society to conduct one, but they couldn’t do it because nobody wanted to be the executioner and everyone wanted to be the victim?

I don't see this said enough: the widespread use of generative AI is not only making our jobs as educators harder logistically, but also emotionally. It is genuinely sad to be suspicious of students when you have spent so much time building a pedagogy based on trust and not being a cop. It sucks.

I love the term Epstein class. It allows us to go beyond the futile exercise of distinguishing the good and the bad elites, liberal from the conservative ones. It really succinctly sums the elite networks ruling us. Using it in all applicable places going forward.

Empirically, this of course horse shit. And yet, so many people, especially men who in any position of power, will lap it up. It seems like a tempting proposition when asked to reflect upon the implications of the power you wield - “Why doesn’t everyone just move on?”

I think the call for political messages in art is self-defeating for this reason. political art is likeliest to work if the underlying artistic work is successful as art, which is only likely if the artists focus (heavily if not exclusively) on the art itself as art.

Everything AI generated does not have to be bad but most of it is. So I use it as a pretty accurate barometer of filtering out the bs online. E.g. I saw an ad from a pseudo mental health startup called Liven which was clearly AI and I already knew its bs and the ad proved me right

All of this fascination with China’s rise rests on very simplistic notions of a centralized state and authoritarianism. Which ignores that China is among the most decentralized administrations globally. Yeun Yeun Ang’s “How China Escaped the Poverty Trap” is a must read to understand China’s rise

This is incredibly cool — A source familiar with Bad Bunny’s performance tonight tells me that the couple in the halftime show got married for real.

They invited Bad Bunny to their wedding and in turn he invited them to get married during his performance.
