A reason that I had to live next to a park in NYC is because this place is so hard, for all the reasons that lead to many suffering so that a small percentage can be richer than God, so I wanted to be close to something that’s a reminder of the true human spirit
I’ve mentioned this before but I don’t think there’s anything that shows the desire and expression of the person than when they’re playing around. Not particularly in sport, but when people get the space and time to play around, by themselves or with friends.
That can take the shape of sport, or painting, writing, playing music etc, but I’m speaking about being able to play without expectation. Which is when you can see people not only express themselves but also construct and challenge their relationship to others and themselves.

What’s become apparent in the last few years to me, is that a lot of people find the idea that they should have a responsibility and obligation to other people around them, highly oppressive. It’s a level of egocentrism that even children would be admonished for.
It seems that every time that any adjustment in behavior or endurance of friction was required for the greater benefit of everyone, people have reacted as if that sort of consideration is the equivalent of stripping them of their rights. It’s been incredible to see.
You can pick any big event of the last few years where the tiniest ask was made to think of others, and it’s almost guaranteed that there was a violent reaction to it. Which of course was presented in some big outlet as reasonable, rather than something bizarre and antisocial.

It’s funny because not pulling out a gun on IG is such an easy thing to do. It’s one of the easiest things to do in the world.
People are trying to turn this into a matter of legality or about his friends as if telling him not to flash guns on social media is some great unfair demand. Every other NBA player is managing to not do it pretty easily.
His own friend turned the camera immediately when he randomly pulled out the gun, that’s what makes it even more hilarious. His friend seems to care more about him than he does

I want to make sure I frame this compliment well, but one of the best things I can say about a book, or any piece of art really, is that it makes me fall asleep. Not out of boredom, but it’s so well-done/well-written that it feels like a spell that lulls you into a relaxed mode.
Almost all of my favorite books/art/movies are ones that I’ve fallen asleep with. And they’re not necessarily slow, but aren’t being cheap in trying to grab attention either. I’m just in no rush to finish or solve them, and they don’t ask for that either.
Yeah, they practically teleport you into a dream state

A funny thing is how people all backgrounds/class who move to NYC and end up being successful tend to frame their stories within the standard NYC underdog narrative of “I came here with nothing/little and through luck/hard work, I’ve become successful”
And the rich/connected ones are so careful in being as vague as possible about the details to maintain the myth.
I was talking to someone yesterday who was framing her story that way, and when I pushed at how she was getting by with such little work, she said her parents had bought the apartment for her. And I just laughed.

“I believe it starts with a series of refusals. A refusal to thoughtlessly submit to the idols. It may not be in our power to overthrow them altogether, but we can certainly deny them the mesmerizing hold they can have on our moral imagination.”

This part feels particular to the plagiarism machines and human creativity Image
“Within this system and by its terms, we do best to waste as much time as possible, to slow down when we are encouraged to speed up, to disregard the demand to measure and assess, to relish inefficiency…”
