We should get a kickstarter going so Linebaugh can afford a cross-atlantic flight to visit his friend version, very difficult on a stick'and'poke income I'm afraid, but it would mean so much to him, he's never left the united states, it's important to see the world a bit before you die

I'd like to see an anthropological study of dissensus, like when one of those scientists observes a group of gorillas over a five year period

I see the "flattening" but I've always been sympathetic to that sort of criticism because especially in the age of the internet it's probably a good thing to have as many articulate people as possible helping young people attain and understand these heuristics. I read this post as basically a sparknotes of The Birth of Tragedy, but it might help a zoomer who's never even heard of Nietzsche come to an understanding of the concept. And it's ridiculous to act as if this flattening isn't the basic practice and ideal form of criticism. If everyone on substack and medium were writing like this I'd chalk that up as a net positive.

I'm not surprised to find out Luke killed someone but I am confused as to why he seems to have gotten away with it
