For fear of embarrassing myself or creating an infohazard with a poor explainer, I will be sparse in my description. Just check it out. These ideas have legs. Longtermism is interesting. Effective Altruism is interesting.

if you want to feel hopeful and unified with other humans
Empire of Pain - Patrick Radden Keene - if you want to feel the opposite of hope about the nature of humans - very interesting and important to learn about how the greed of the Sackler family, doctors, legislators and more contributed to the opioid crisis
Outline - Rachel Cusk - basically just a story of a woman having conversations with people about the human condition

This city has the best climate in America. I love it so much. I wish I lived here. The AI researchers, the big tech yuppies, the fact there’s an ethnic neighborhood for cishet frat bros—I love it more than anywhere else in America. The group houses, the cults, the rationalists, the technoptimists, the pure and untapped creative alpha. I have literally not spent more than two weeks in San Francisco. It’s a social scene the size of Dimes with 100x higher impact. “Oh let’s go to clandestino” No let’s go to The Interval at the Long Now.

I was walking around the Upper West Side this morning. It was 50 degrees. It was 6 am. I learned of this band a few days ago. I was sad. I was in a vaguely mystical state. I ran into someone from downtown. His girlfriend had broken her hip at Bella Ciao a few nights ago. They capture such a particular emotion—this song is my favorite.
