I wish he would have used AI to make the essay shorter…

Had to share the creation of Ea from the Earthsea cycle… very Tao…

“Only in silence the word, Only in dark the light, Only in dying life: Bright the hawk’s flight On the empty sky.

“The Creation of Éa,” Ursula K. Le Guin


I really liked Brook Ziporyn's translation of the Dao and particular his deep dive into the A / B / True A move that the Dao does all the time. There's a nice small lecture on YT on this as well: https://youtu.be/EJ1bB2w2gBk

Definitely grateful to have this site and appreciative of the people that make it what it is. I check in multiple times a day and always find something new (or at least new to me), interesting and frequently useful!


Y'all remember iPod Socks?


lol...


The old web was great but it broke society in a different way and formed the basis of social media's current problems. Writing about your situation and expecting other people to desire to know you so much that they go out of their way to learn about you is not a substitute for 1-1 or 1-group interaction that formed the basis of human culture for centuries. If you want to do something revolutionary to start restoring a healthy society, once a day, call (or DM or text) someone from your contacts list and say "I saw something today that made me think of you, so I wanted to see how you're doing. What's new in your life?"


Classic genie move


This looks super cool and I'm hyped to try it. Reminds me of Decker https://www.beyondloom.com/decker/index.html which I saw on hacker news ~18 months ago, similar ethos but this seems like it will be more applicable to daily use cases.


I've probably thought about this website daily or weekly since it originally came out. Glad to know it still exists.


Coming across stuff like this is why I value the hacker news community.
