phones are just invulnerable now. you can throw your caseless iphone at the concrete and it does nothing but add a couple scratches on aluminum finish. cases just don’t matter.
im curious how the cold war would have gone if both sides had like much better surveillance on each other. like what does geopolitics game theory look like if you have an efficient and scalable way to track ~everything the other government is doing.
the media has never been less controlled than it is today. the government has never been more beholden by the will of the people. the past two decades has seen the american elite lose its grip on power, forced to adapt or die to the most annoying whims of the american people.
i feel like im the only person who just straight up loves atomized liberal societies. the fact that ~none of my material needs require any degree of interpersonal trust with my counterparty is a triumph of modern civilization. the commune is the most tyrannical social order.
i feel like america society just needs to planemaxx. 4 door boarding, airport near the city, go way more yolo with how tight you pack the takeoffs. amtrak being time-competitive with the 500mph mechanical bird is deeply embarrassing.
they spent all this time making the aspect ratio of all content wider so phones were easier to use with one hand and now they make it chonky. i don’t get it.
