Even at a distance, we can sometimes tell if someone is educated, rich, powerful or physically attractive.
But that doesn’t always correlate with smart, kind or honest.
Strong signals might not be the same as useful ones.

Conservatives think we need to resurrect traditional hierarchies to reverse social decline. But what Americans miss about mid-century America isn’t the chauvinistic cultural values — it’s the economic equality created by strong unions and worker power.

"The reason that most memos, speeches and edicts fall flat is simple: we get stuck on the idea that we’re talking to a crowd.
When we’re speaking or writing, the crowd is just an illusion. What’s actually happening is that there is one person over there, another over there, repeated again and again until it’s easier to imagine it’s a mass audience.
The alternative method is simple: find one person, exactly one, and write to them, allowing the others to listen in.
Embrace the tone of voice, body posture, breathing style and punctuation you’d use on just one person. You and me, here and now.
If it’s not going to work for one person, why do think it will work on a crowd?"

Our chosen reality serves two useful purposes:
First, it binds us to the others in our circle. If you seek to communicate, speaking Esperanto in Nashville isn’t going to help very much–you do better assuming, as others do, that English is standard. On the other hand, going to a Flat Earth convention and insisting on the truth of our planet’s shape won’t earn you the sort of camaraderie you were hoping for. (...)

AI’s Origins in a Culture of Hypercompetition and Radical Individualism
How We Got Here (And Why It Matters)
This didn't happen overnight. The roots trace back to decisions that seemed reasonable at the time:
Grade inflation made GPAs meaningless, so colleges relied more heavily on extracurriculars and essays—which are easier to game with AI.
Online applications made it trivially easy to apply everywhere, flooding every opportunity with applicants and forcing institutions to use algorithmic screening.
Rankings and metrics pushed schools and companies to optimize for selectivity rather than fit, creating perverse incentives to reject as many people as possible.
Economic anxiety convinced parents that only elite credentials could guarantee security, intensifying competition for a fixed number of spots.
Each decision made sense in isolation. Together, they created a system where being genuinely human—uncertain, still-growing, authentically flawed—became a competitive disadvantage. "

Something that’s painfully understudied is how experts are more efficient than novices while achieving better results. I say understudied and not unstudied, because it’s common knowledge that charging people for their time results in experts being paid less since they work faster, which is why experts charge more for their time.
