Nice example of gendered personhood bottoming out at misanthropy (and, in this case, misogyny). The notion of a divine feminine is necessarily limiting because it is necessarily passive. Women *exist*. They represent the created and never creation beyond biological childbirth.
women doing art is funny because they can never create something more beautiful than themselves.

In the future, with wealth and Wonderism, every single unknown beauty can be known; every accidental artwork can be intentioned; every stone can be polished; every window can be stained.
how did they know to name it that before we had space.

The hottest and coldest temperature thing doesn’t get enough play. You mean to tell me that in all of the universe, across all of space and time, beyond starquakes and hypernovae and dark matter annihilations and blazar flares, planet Earth—this planet Earth—here, our home, now,.

Don't know what's cooler: artificially replicating the teratonne bulk of the furnace of the world; or artificially fabricating the nanometer detail of its innermost brilliance. Either way: people fucking rule.

Georgist myth. Creating land is easy. Just build a staircase. The overlying floor space is 100% new. Build a 100-story building. The football pitch above you fits on the footprint of a house. In a city-centre, 80-90% of the land is man-made. We built the world upstairs.
I don't want a wealth tax, but I'd be fully up for a *constrained wealth tax*. Tax things that we can't make more of - land. One of our big problems is people who've hoarded assets, but then don't use them productively for the good of the economy. Make hoarders pay, not.

“The sleep of reason produces monsters.”. This is what happens when feeling acts in separation from thought (when wonder(!) acts in separation from wonder(?)):.
We probably shouldn’t appoint word salad vending machines to positions of authority.

What is the reverse of tribalism? A kind of arbitrary treachery whereby everything in-group is maligned as dumb and incompetent and suspect and wicked; and everything out-group is venerated as wise and capable and honest and righteous. If the West did this the same bitter.
Is America just……. not smart?.
