as someone who grew up 15 minutes (and under flight paths) for DFW, the Heathrow third runway discourse is alien to me DFW has seven runways. It serves a population half that of London.

Been really enjoying 'The Age of Em' by @robinhanson.bsky.social recently. Certainly a monumental achievement of a book, even if I didn't always find myself convinced by a particular argument. Would be interested to see more 'extremely in-depth speculative future exploration'-type books.
