Architecture is the time stamp of the fabric of a civilisation. It is a dichotomy between art and values.

Humane is the perfect cautionary tale of how talented people get completely distorted from reality by staying at large, successful companies for too long. Are you really a great product designer? Or do you just work at Apple? Are you actually great at sales? Or do you just work at Google? Are you really an incredible growth marketer? Or do you just work at Instagram? After a certain size, the brands sell themselves. The only way to test your abilities is to leave the shelter of these mega brands and go out and build something yourself from scratch. (And usually throwing lots of money at the problem pre-launch isn't going to help you.)

I have to give it to @ElonMusk. Every time I open X, it becomes clearer that the people who live on this app are operating in a completely different reality from the rest of us.

I firmly believe that we can literally feel the amount of handmade human care put into something. That’s why the old animated films often feel like they have more “soul.” That is the expression of human care you’re sensing. I hope we don’t lose this. x.com/fluxfolio_/status/2030…

China absolutely decimating every corner of the world’s oceans is without question the biggest environmental catastrophe happening right now, as in an actual ecological disaster, yet the “save the planet” grifters never talk about it, while forcing us to use paper straws.

Soon the whales will have nothing to eat and food chains will collapse due to Chinese fleets inability to have any self control

I have been saying this for a long time: our future will be more aesthetic (again). Because robots will drive costs for beautiful design down we will see beautiful gardens, houses, sculptures, wood works, etc everywhere.

Saurav is a generational builder and engineer. It’s been so crazy to see this team quietly build a monster business over the past year, glad i can finally talk about it

G. H. Hardy compared mathematicians on a scale from 1 to 100. He rated himself at 25, J. E. Littlewood at 30, David Hilbert at 80, and gave Ramanujan the highest score of 100.
