The harder something is to change, the less likely it is to change, even if the status quo is hurting us. This is so banal as to almost be tautological, and yet we run into it over and over again.

Y'all, I think I just figured this out! The reason that we keep having Incidents is because we're just not taxonomizing them hard enough! We must redouble our taxonomization efforts immediately!

Books designed to be read only by human eyes are different from books designed to be read by machines, which is why Google will tell you that the phrase “shake my booty” can be found in an 1863 English translation of Don Quixote.

Ran across another friend who didn't get Paxlovid bc it was hundreds of dollars so here's this link again. You have to have a prescription to enroll and will need to educate the pharmacist but it works. No one should pay hundreds of dollars for Paxlovid! Privatization sucks! wapo.st/47hF7aO

This line from the New York Times makes me think about the extreme tension built into the American system. We have a free press, which allows truthful stories about problems to be reported on, but we have no real way of changing anything that’s broken. That gives you lines like this.

“Events and relations must be understood in the context where they occur. It is always necessary to consider both the dependencies to other parts of the system and to events that went before. This is particularly the case for human activities, which cannot be understood only as reactions to events.”
