One of the biggest challenges in modern society is getting people to emotionally connect to systems that are operating at a higher, and higher level of abstraction

Ideally we could weave an emotional sense of utility down through the whole stack, and allow people to feel their impact

But this is getting harder every year--so we increasingly revert to tribal and religion-like motivations

i accidentally discovered one of the coolest features on the internet

the Wikipedia app has a "nearby" feature that shows wikipedia articles around your location!

i opened it and instantly fell into a rabbit hole of random places, local history and weird things around me

try it and tell me what shows up near you

the name "Eagleburger" sounds like a parody of an American diplomat

I believe this is why folks who leave the military often feel an acute sense of social dislocation. When you're accustomed to bullshitting on the mess deck or the barracks rec room, sitting in your house alone just sucks.
But you don't miss the military - you miss the commune.
