Til humaniorafolket, både i og utenfor arkiv,bibliotek og museum:

"du skal bruke din kunnskap til å forme et samfunn med rom for mangfold, kunst og opplevelser, og hvor vi bruker teknologien til det beste for samfunnet"

Som overingeniør og fra humaniora stiller jeg meg bak dette!

Tre råd til deg som studerer humaniora

Yrket ditt er ikke forhåndsdefinert, men du får forhåpentligvis jobbe med det du brenner for hvis du gjør noen lure grep.

Hmmmm. Dobbelt så mange ståmopeder på gatene, dobbelt så mange skader...?

Sikkert ingen årsakssammenheng her, kun tilfeldig korrelasjon.

Graf over elsparkesykkelskader I 2024 og 2025. Det er nesten nøyaktig dobbelt så mange i år sammenlignet med 2024.

ja, det var det jeg også endte opp med å si til slutt. «nei, du må bare lære ordene og huske hva som er hvor 🤷‍♂️». det stemmer jo, men det er så utilfredsstillende at det er plagsomt

det vanskeligste med å ha særskilte norsktimer er de veldig interessante, men enormt vanskelige spørsmålene elevene stiller. i dag: «når jeg skal skrive sammensatte ord. hvordan vet jeg når jeg skal bruke S, E [fuging] eller ingenting?» og jeg har fortsatt ikke klart å tenke på noen enkel huskeregel

thiel, man, what the fuck are you talking about

He describes the plot of Watchmen, a 1986 graphic novel involving superheroes grappling with moral questions about humanity against the backdrop of impending nuclear war:

The antihero Ozymandias, the antichrist-type figure, is sort of an early-modern person. He believes this will be a timeless and eternal solution – eternal world peace. Moore is sort of a late-modern. In early modernity, you have ideal solutions, ‘perfect’ solutions to calculus. In late modernity, things are sort of probabilistic. And at some point, he asks Dr Manhattan whether the world government is going to last. And he says that ‘nothing lasts forever.’ So you embrace the antichrist and it still doesn’t work.

Thiel later finds biblical meaning in the manga One Piece, discussing how he believes it represents a future where an antichrist-like one-world government has repressed science. He believes that the hero, Monkey D Luffy, represents a Christlike figure.

In One Piece, you are set in a fantasy world, again sort of an alternate earth, but it’s 800 years into the reign of this one-world state. Which, as the story unfolds, gradually gets darker and darker. You sort of realize, in my interpretation, who runs the world and it’s something like the antichrist. There’s Luffy, a pirate who wears a red straw hat, sort of like Christ’s crown of thorns. And then towards the end of the story, transforms into a figure who resembles Christ in Revelation.

Thiel, along with a researcher and writer at Thiel Capital, explored these ideas at greater length in an essay for the religious journal First Things earlier this month.

Everyday now there is new information detailing just how economically unviable AI is. Data centers will be the new abandoned Walmarts, but on an even larger scale.

AI Data Centers Are an Even Bigger Disaster Than Previously Thought

An investment manager realized he made a crucial mistake — and that his grim prediction about AI investments may not have been cynical enough.

in 2011, the president of antifa hired me to give fashion consultancy to the organization. i recommended everyone wear navy suits with tan shoes, dress sneakers, and golf polos with slim chinos. if you arrested everyone today wearing these things, you'd destroy antifa

New from me. I took a little bit of time out of my oppressively busy schedule to comb through what may be my favourite current show, Slow Horses, and carefully log and rank every single fart therein (I made a spreadsheet and everything). Hard-hitting journalism for @thedailybeast.bsky.social.

jeg har møtt veldig mange «med vilje» (og giftet meg med en av de), og har gjenkjent opptil flere ved tilfeldigheter ute i offentligheten (men latt de være i fred fordi vi aldri har pratet nok sammen online til at jeg synes det passet seg å ta kontakt)
