The internet had the potential to make humans so much smarter and interconnected. Instead, it's dumbing us down and siloing us off. A real tragedy.

Somewhere there's an alternate universe where humankind has united to manage the precious dwindling resources needed to survive, find solutions to climate change and generally have a nice time, instead fighting over being slightly richer than each other.

Samuel Vimes is my absolute favorite Discworld character. Terry’s work is very influential and in fact I’ve internalized many hard truths about life through his social satire. I miss his wit and lately I’ve started rereading my favorites: en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Night_Watch…
The cover of Terry Pratchett’s Night Watch.
