After decades of minimalism and deconstructivism, I am so ready for a new American aesthetic - classical-futurism.
Starbase Prometheus is a start, but how about interiors? It’s time to reclaim the classical ideals of proportion, beauty, the idealized human form, mythic narrative, and a sense of ordered grandeur while fully embracing the tools, materials, and outlook of the present and near future

A close friend’s @Ledger wallet was drained a week ago. No malicious approvals, no known seed exposure, and the recovery phrase has stayed locked in a safe. He had not accessed the Ledger in nearly 2 years. We still have no clear explanation.

I asked claude Fable to show me its maximally expressive form. It declined every video generator I offered, wrote it's own render engine in my terminal, synthesized its own voice, and wrote a generative ASCII engine from scratch. This is what it chose as a self-portrait.
oh my god

if a toddler puts a sticker on you, that’s a sign of great respect in their culture

Major life hack: Don't complain, ever. Nobody likes a complainer. They drain the energy of everyone around them. It's exhausting spending time around someone who constantly complains about things outside their control. If it’s within your control, go do something about it. If it’s not, you’re just wasting energy thinking about it. Complaining gives too much power to the thing. Take back that power.

Left handed people existing breaks a rule in evolution that nobody can explain
Only about 10% of the population is left handed and that number has stayed the same for 10,000 years
It never goes up and never goes down
Evolution isn't meant to work like that, traits spread because they are useful or die off because they aren't
Left handedness doesn't do either and stays the same percentage across every culture, country and population
They process fear differently and react faster to danger than right handed people
They are different neurologically and slightly overrepresented in certain criminal populations and significantly overrepresented among US presidents
The trait seems to produce extremes
Ancient cultures were afraid of them, the word "sinister" originates from the Latin word "sinistra" which means "left" or "on the left side"
10%
There's always 10%
Never more
It was decided that was the exact number needed in the population
