@pmarca Conspicuous consumption has gotten cheap and necessities have gotten more expensive

Live life or have life live you. That is the daily choice.

@chamath Smart. Isn’t this just the Amazon basics model in some ways. See what sells and then replicate it and sell more cheaply and put it as the top result.

@RyanHoliday curious your thoughts on Nietzsche in BGE on the stoics?

In short Nietzsche attempts to end stoicism in a paragraph. “live according to nature” is empty: nature is indifferent, and to live is already to prefer. it reduces to “live according to life.” worse, the stoic paints nature in his own colors first, then pretends to obey her. he writes the law, then kneels before it.

Everyone is optimizing and that’s why it’s all scando minimalism or mustard-and-millennial-pink goo now. Your house, your oat milk, your therapist, the ipo of the week, squeezed from the same figma tube. A real aesthetic has enemies and nobody’s got the guts for enemies, so here we are, drowning in slop.

@Athens_Stranger Plato is the inverse test. Whether you can read what looks like a moralist and see what’s underneath. Nietzsche filters one way, Plato the other. Few pass both.

@newstart_2024 The delivery mechanism matters so much. Why we created https://t.co/RCs8Rx34Y5

@AestheticsMens Wrong. Side quests are the last man’s compromise. You’re not bored from a lack of hobbies. You’re bored because nothing in your life commands you. The cure isn’t fifty more quests. It’s one that would cost you everything.
