we’re not more depressed because our parents weren’t perfect, that’s been life forever. I think we’re depressed because the modern environment fosters junk values and junk relationships.

Do kids today even read the funniest book ever written, A Confederacy of Dunces?
Read it with your friends so you have the fun of doing Burma Jones impressions yelling “Hey! Whoa!” at each other for the next six months.
Some of my favorite quotes: “Guarantee plantation atmosphere, got cotton growin right on the stage right in front your eyeball, got a civil right worker gettin his ass beat up between show.”
“I suspect that I am the result of particularly weak conception on the part of my father. His sperm was probably emitted in a rather offhand manner.”
Localism Optimism: Remote work could drive localism in non-obvious ways.
Large firms that try to tackle new problems with fully remote work forces will leave a gap for local firms to tackle these high complexity issues with the edge of colocation.
You see this now when large multi-nationals try to muscle in on local firms, but I think there's a potential for this trend to be exasperated as newer generations demand remote work (efficient or not), so they can raise families close to their support networks.
Refinement culture is making our local culture more interesting. Every coffee shop looks the same now no matter where in the world you are. The hipster restaurant trend has homogenized experience, giving something for us to contrast our unique local establishments against.
I’m going to write about my friend who built this brewery in his barn. He’s my sort of person. Has his own little value system he lives by. He also built something really amazing. Not just the system, but the network of people who run it.
First off a Warning: I don’t know that much about beer stuff, so I apologize to people who rly know what they’re doing.
Anyway, the goal of this operation is to brew as much beer as possible as easily as possible so that we can hangout and have fun and not have to work.
What I know about beer:
You take hot water, add to grains, cook for a while, move it all to a different pot, boil it, add hops. Move to another big container and ferment it. Then you keg it, add CO2 and there you go. You got some beer.
