I was there, and they all sounded like this to me.


Project Hail Mary writer Andy Weir on social commentary in books: "I dislike social commentary. Like… I really hate it. When I’m reading a book, I just want to be entertained, not preached at by the author. Plus, it ruins the wonder of the story if I know the author has a political or social axe to grind. I no longer speculate about all possible outcomes of the story because I know for a fact that the universe of that book will conspire to ensure that the author’s political agenda is validated. I hate that." "I put no politics or social commentary into my stories at all. Anyone who thinks they see something like that is reading it in on their own. I have no point to make, and I’m not trying to affect the reader’s opinion on anything. My sole job is to entertain, and I stick to that." "To that end, I also don’t talk about my personal political opinions publicly. I don’t want readers to even know, honestly. I don’t want that in the back of their minds as they read my stuff." Is this why he has the #1 sci-fi movie in decades?

Normalize saying the humanities is relatively indecipherable before thirty. An 18 year old reading it should consider himself bringing bricks out to a field one by one to build a house so that someday he might move into it. If you want a young man's game try mathematics.

Italian Prime Minister Meloni: "I accuse Israel of crossing the red line, I condemn the massacre of Palestinian civilians, and I announce that Italy will support European sanctions against Israel."
