yeah I finished a book on the history of quantum mechanics and it goes into enough detail that I have much less intuitive understanding of the topic than when I started lol

It’s still grimly funny that the only reason Palmer Luckey is a failed defense contractor is because he failed even worse at being an anime tech influencer

Like, live react 4chan threads on R2 is the microcosm that unironically prepared me for how people would simply come to talk about news & politics by the late 2010s. All the social dynamics & attention strats & discourse traps might as well be the same. That’s wild

God, I’m pretty sure that experiencing Geass R2 from the peanut gallery is what fomented my understanding of where internet social dynamics were “going”

People could, more than ever, cross borders to bond over dread & humiliation; a sphere previously reserved for sports, not scripted drama

Watching Geass R2 fansubbed, as it aired, is still one of the greatest exps I’ve had online. Just the perfect mixture of early prestige TV culture & mean nerd fandom; hundreds of viewers losing their minds on appointment over how much worse this show could get. Peak 2008 Recession to me.
