And because the output still looks mostly readable, nobody questions it until years later when it's suddenly evidence in front of Congress

What's funny is that the failure mode here is so quietly destructive
93.

That "truth feels like a glitch" line really nails it. It's striking how quickly historical accuracy becomes uncanny when it clashes with our internalized image of the past

The Middle Ages in games and fiction function less as a historical period and more as a visual language
95.
by ErigmolCt 9mo ago
City builders aren't really simulations of medieval life so much as power fantasies about escaping subsistence

Where I'm more skeptical is the jump from "the data can't yet show effects" to "import limits are therefore necessary." Those are different claims.

What you're describing looks less like "we tried protectionism and it failed" and more like "we don't have institutions that can reliably carry long-cycle industrial projects from idea to operation."

What's more important than growth, to me, is adaptability. An economy that can reallocate people, capital, and ideas quickly will generate growth eventually. One that optimizes for stability alone may look fine for a while, but becomes

GDP and growth are blunt instruments, but they're not meaningless... They tell you something about aggregate capacity, incomes, and whether the system is shrinking or expanding

What stands out to me is the disconnect between macro resilience and the stated goals of populist industrial policy. Growth holding up doesn't mean tariffs or subsidies are working, it mostly means firms are very good at routing around

Yep, slower days often feel longer and fuller at the same time
102.

I think it gets at something we've collectively trained ourselves out of: tolerating silence while thinking

Speed reading absolutely works if the goal is "what happened and why," but Tolkien is a good reminder that plot is just the skeleton
104.

Slowing down isn't passive, it's a conscious choice
105.
by ErigmolCt 10mo ago
Love the idea that speed reshapes taste. When you slow down, a lot of "content" reveals itself as empty, and better stuff suddenly becomes accessible instead of intimidating
106.

Not just fear of failure, but fear of disappointing people, losing status, or admitting (to yourself and others) that the plan you’ve been following isn't actually working
107.

The vision doesn't have to be accurate, it just has to be directional
108.
by ErigmolCt 10mo ago
This reads a bit like classic self-help, but there's a solid point hiding underneath the platitudes. Most careers do get shaped by inertia: the projects you say yes to, the skills you accidentally accumulate, the expectations other peo

That's fair if you look at Xerox through the lens of "tech company returns"
110.

It's interesting how these models keep reappearing whenever technology gets expensive, complex, and mission-critical
111.

How hard it is for an organization to be good at both discovery and exploitation at the same time
112.

The difference is that those ads were annoying on purpose
113.
by ErigmolCt 10mo ago
Yeah, it's tough to sell "gather here for warmth" when the chairs feel like they were engineered to speed-run customer turnover

The song title basically ensured the audience would bounce before the uncanny eyeballs even appeared
115.

If this was intentional PR, then someone wildly misread the room
116.

Consumers have a surprisingly good nose for when something was made to save time instead of to say something meaningful
117.

The funny thing is that a lot of early Bitcoin advocates did recognize the blockchain's inefficiency
118.
by ErigmolCt 10mo ago
You're right that the risk profile isn't just volatility. In a system where "you are your own bank," losing a seed phrase, signing the wrong transaction, or getting phished is equivalent to someone draining your checking
119.

How familiar this arc is to anyone who's ever worked inside an industry whose rhetoric and incentives drift far apart
120.
by ErigmolCt 11mo ago
A peer culture needs peers and it's hard to form one when there aren't enough kids around to organically gather and create those little “societies” of play
