People wish, or even believe, that "smart" solutions always beat "dumb" ones.

Same reason "intelligent design" was attractive vs evolution.

More legibility leads to less discretion.

Written laws increase the legibility of power, reducing the discretion of those who wield power. The internet makes communication more legibility, as messages are easily stored, copied & shared. This decreases the discretion of (strategic) communicators.

It seems it’s probably worth spending some time on here now.

I dabbled with BlueSky throughout 2023, but I’ve been away for almost a year—what’s the best way now to find Twitter follows and other connections?

Ideas are carried, embodied, spread and advocated for by humans. Also, some of the most important ideas are not very memetic. Like, "everybody should have enough food to eat" and "libraries are good and should be free"

If you want your idea to win, you have to do the leg work

idk what you guys did but one of your hellthreads broke the app, and unlocked a new error message.

congrats! 🎉
