We live in a mega-scale corporate capitalist economy, and in such a setting technology is never used to save time. It’s used to speed up production and consumption in order to expand the system. The basic rule is this: technology doesn't make our lives easier. 我们生活在一个大型企业资本主义经济体中,在这种环境下,技术永远不会被用来节省时间。它被用来加速生产和消费,以便扩大系统。基本规则是:技术不会让我们的生活更轻松。 It makes them faster and more crammed with stuff. 它让我们的生活变得更快,塞满了更多的东西。

In my way of thinking, radical agency is about finding real edges: things you are willing to do that others aren’t, often because they’re annoying or unpleasant. These don’t always surface in awareness to the point one is actually choosing -- often they live in a cloud of aversion that strategically obscures the tradeoff. 在我看来,激进的能动性在于寻找真正的优势:你愿意做而其他人不愿意做的事情,通常是因为它们令人厌烦或不愉快。这些并不总是浮现在意识中,以至于人们实际上是在选择——通常它们存在于策略性地掩盖权衡利弊的厌恶情绪的云雾中。

Studying time “is like holding a snowflake in your hands: gradually, as you study it, it melts between your fingers and vanishes.” 学习时间“就像手里拿着一片雪花:慢慢地,当你学习它的时候,它在你的指缝间融化消失了。

In fact, 2024 may be the most fast-paced—and dangerous—time ever for the creative economy. And that will be true, no matter what happens in November. 事实上,2024年可能是创意经济有史以来节奏最快、最紧张的一年。这将是真的,无论11月发生什么。 So let’s plunge in. I want to tell you why entertainment is dead. And what’s coming to take its place. 我想告诉你为什么娱乐业已经死了。以及即将取代它的东西

“Facts don’t change minds, friendship does!” James Clear explains how convincing someone to change their mind is actually about convincing them to change their tribe. “Perhaps it is not difference, but distance that breeds tribalism and hostility.” Relevant in times of rising social polarisation.
“事实不能改变思想,友谊可以!”詹姆斯·克利尔解释说,说服某人改变他们的想法实际上是在说服他们改变自己所属的群体。“也许不是差异,而是距离造成了部落主义和敌意。”这在社会极化日益加剧的时代尤为重要。
