i swear you can tell who started following who, and on what ~date, JUST by analyzing their language and how it evolves. There's a sense in which you pick up "linguistic mannerisms" of whomever you pay attention to, whomever you simulate in your mind

@waitbutwhy As someone who played Oregon Trails as a kid, but was born a few years after the cutoff, I feel misplaced with Millennials 😤

Earth was born 4.5 billion years ago and has roughly one billion years of habitability left (at which point the expanding sun's increasing luminosity will evaporate our oceans). We evolved more than 80% of the way through the window, just in the nick of time.

Every time we come back to SV, my 16 yo son gets a massive dose of cognitive dissonance when he notices that apparently smart and reasonable people seem eager to obtain something he's convinced is utterly worthless.

I still cannot believe that I can: - look at a world map and tap anywhere to zoom in at street level - instantly access any song, book, movie, tv show, or podcast ever made - have any conceivable question and get an immediate answer or video explanation - take a photo or video wherever I am and add it to my massive, searchable, always accessible personal archive - video call anyone in my life, at anytime, no matter where they are - watch live sports on a little wireless glass rectangle - type out these thoughts and have them read by thousands of people, all over the world, a few seconds later
