Please do Sapiens so I can retcon my irrational hatred of this book

"Sapiens" is so normal for the first 70,000 years of human history but then goes absolutely buckwild as soon as it gets to colonialism
Had the Aztecs and Incas shown a bit more interest in the world surrounding them - and had they known what the Spaniards had done to their neighbours - they might have resisted the Spanish conquest more keenly and successfully.

I just see Substack writers praising other Substack writers as a kind of public mental onanism. Like, by all means furiously consume essays in private. Don’t show me the links like it’s something to be proud of.

It’s not because they think he’s a peacemaker. It’s just shitposting.

NVIDIA and OpenAi:

Concerns that their “increasingly complex and interconnected web of business transactions is artificially propping up the trillion-dollar AI boom.“

+1. Many, even most, opinion journalists aren't good journalists in the traditional sense of the term. Weiss rose bc her politics appealed to wealthy funders, not because she skillfully navigated the day to day of a busy newsroom. See Twitter Files debacle.

I helped run BI’s London newsroom, a substantially smaller job. I felt, at all times, like I was riding a miniature unicycle with clown shoes while juggling flaming objects. Often that was fun; sometimes I set my own hair on fire.

You will not convince me The Fold is chic. A fashion brand beloved by Kemi Badenoch and corporate lawyers? ☠️
