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?"

Without getting into too many specifics, I recently was involved in reviewing hundreds of applications for something. Over the course of reviewing, I was struck by the nearly-identical phrasing that threaded through dozens of the applications.

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.

If you want to annoy your favorite philosopher, one of the best ways to do it these days is to mention the “kids standing on boxes equity meme.” To call it the bane of our existence would be something of an overstatement, but it’s certainly not making anyone’s job easier.

"About a week ago, ChatGPT rolled out a major update to its image generation and suddenly my feed was flooded with AI-generated images in the style of Studio Ghibli. While the results are impressive (yes, it finally gets hands and text right) but also pretty scary (given how often I draw illustrations). However, they also raise some big questions about authorship, originality, and what we actually mean by “creativity” in a generative age."

The Multiverse isn't just a staple of science fiction; there's real-life science behind it, too. Here are 10 facts to expand your mind.

"Culture is changed by design, and design by culture.
There are things that look ‘right’, and others that don’t. We notice the mistyped word, the straight quote, the lousy kerning.
But then, the paradigm shifts. An illuminated manuscript and a dime-store novel are both books, but neither would look right to someone accustomed to the other.
The challenge of breakthrough design is in doing it with intent. To deliver more, not less of the change you seek to make, the leverage you seek to provide. To do the work with knowledge and care, not laziness or haste.
There’s an internal consistency to breakthrough design. It’s of itself, it reflects the intent of the designer. Copying the status quo is easy, commodity work. Creating a new paradigm, one that resonates, is the real work the designer seeks to offer."
