This country sure does have a whole lot of expensive but still ugly and terrible houses.

We have a lot of wealth but use it very poorly.

The below really increased in the late 1990s. Not sure why it began, but I noticed bans on young people hanging out in public basically anywhere greatly expanding then. It’s probably not a coincidence that as Boomers got political power en masse is when this really ramped up.

On the contrary, tools like this mean there will be *no more* blockbusters. Rather, content continues to become even more hyper niche and hyper targeted. ML means the death of mass market will go even further than we previously thought possible. https://t.co/PDKk1wbD0v

I predicted this three years ago.

As usual, I was ahead of the curve.

Too many people really do be like: “It’s crazy that people don’t want to live in a pod and eat bugs! Why does anyone want to go outside or have a yard their kids can play in? That’s prole thinking! In the New Shiny Future, we’ll have collective everything and all will be shared.”

And that will work out about as well as it has every other time in the past it’s been tried….
