Luke Smith's article on the 4 causes is great and captures an important idea about what modernism lacks. if you like melting asphalt (probably the best blog I've ever read) you'll probably also like: - Venkatesh Rao's https://ribbonfarm.com https://ribbonfarm.com (it's very much a diamonds-in-the-rough type blog imo) - the farnam street blog https://fs.blog/ https://fs.blog/ consistently puts out good content - /sometimes/ lesswrong puts out good ideas when they're not busy modelling spherical cows in a vacuum - https://www.lesswrong.com/ https://www.lesswrong.com/ - if you're really into systems theory and don't mind reading strongly management-consultant oriented prose (can't abide it myself but the content is good), https://thesystemsthinker.com/ https://thesystemsthinker.com/

> https://lukesmith.xyz/blog https://lukesmith.xyz/blog Luke Smith has some interesting ideas about free software and his Linux/Vim tutorials are very good. However, he's someone who harbors a lot of racist and hateful views. Don't believe me? Watch his livestreams. His recent crusade to get many people on Monero likely stems from him getting busted[1] for accepting a $30,000 donation in Bitcoin from a French white nationalist who donated[2] $500,000 in Bitcoin earl to far-right groups last year, some of whom were directly involved in the Jan. 6 insurrection.
