Big Tech is offering you a Faustian bargain. It promises to remove all the friction from life, and the result is your brain will become pudding, you’ll become incapable of doing things you’ve been doing your whole life. They want you helpless, subservient and compliant.

T. H. White declared Malory “the greatest English writer next to Shakespeare” and this is a huge part of what makes Le Morte d’Arthur just about the most entertaining book ever written.

Malory will spend 1.5 pages on a haunted chapel full of grinning ghost knights and a woman who wants to embalm Lancelot so she can sleep with his corpse and then spend four hundred pages describing a tournament where the guy who is obviously going to win wins

“People yearn for the felt reality of an older place.” This is why I encourage adult Harry Potter fans to read Rebecca, Gormenghast, Dream of the Red Chamber: stories that draw on the same powerful archetypes, the yearning to live in a vast ancient place full of ritual.

It’s crazy to me that a mere ten years ago, kids were coming home from school, sitting down at the computer and writing multi-million-word fan-fictions. We made fun of them at the time but I would argue it was a sign of a flourishing and literate culture.

Advances in tech provide false comfort that we’re progressing when we’re not. In a world of real progress, everyone would know at least one poem. Forests would be thick with birds, seas with fish. Artists and writers would be paid living wages. Kids would know how to read.

Extremely cool that we live in the richest country in the world and we can’t afford high-speed rail, our museums and colleges are closing en masse, our students graduate not knowing how to read and gambling is significantly more popular than books.

I’ll go further: those in power don’t want you having passions or hobbies, which is why they seek to automate whatever brings joy. They want you to be a miserable, conformist sack of meat. You need to develop skills. You need to sharpen your brain. You need to read & create.

The great mistake of the modern world is the assumption that symbols and stories are not “real,” and therefore have nothing to teach us. If you study the hard sciences but neglect to read myths, folktales, epic poems, your knowledge of reality is distorted at best.

I hate how lately I can’t seem to avoid seeing AI writing. I hate how everyone is suddenly writing in THAT cadence. I hate how people have collectively relinquished their personal voices. Writing is thinking, and much of the human race has abandoned its ability to think.

It’s a small thing but I would love to reach 250,000 followers by the end of the year. If you enjoy my posts I would, in the words of Mr Dorrit, be “much obleeged to ye.”
Inspired by @decadentquill, here’s a collage of my interests to give you a sense of the vibe of my account.

Real talk: Don't know who needs to hear this but there's absolutely nothing wrong about being enthusiastic about your interests/hobbies. Life's too short to not talk about things you enjoy in earnest. The world's too cruel for u to hold back the joy you could be putting into it.

@SketchesbyBoze I just re-read Fahrenheit 451. Capt. Beatty, Montag's supervisor, tells him that the govt didn't make people stop reading. "...[N]o! Technology, mass exploitation, and minority pressure carried the trick, thank God."

Ten years ago you could make jokes about Jane Eyre and Dracula on twitter and most people would get them; nowadays I have to explain references to Alice in Wonderland and The Hobbit as if we’re living in a very on-the-nose film adaptation of Fahrenheit 451.
