nyc is so alive

when you live in a city where the energy is this palpable, you can't help but want to make the most out of your life

better looking and better dressed imo… the beauty found in diversity is unparalleled. you can tell by their sun-kissed shoulders that they’ve touched grass recently/seen the outside of their coworking space.

I think my NYC friends are hotter than my SF friends

the fascination with “the line” is ubiquitous across major cities in east asia. it has always been the crowd sourced vetting of quality (and sometimes hype). this is not a new thing. if anything it predates the digital algo as an analog sorting protocol driven by urban density

NYC is no longer a city, it is an algorithm.

If you live in, say, Cincinnati, when you go to get ice cream with your friends, you really are just going to get ice cream with your friends.

In NYC, this is not possible. You cannot just go to get ice cream, because, against your will, you are very self-consciously “someone who lives in NYC, going to get ice cream with their friends, in NYC.”

You are never able to achieve full presence of mind because you are constantly placing yourself inside a chapter in some made up, schizophrenic and highly disorienting book.

Put another way, as a New Yorker, you do not live in a city, but a massive, procedurally generated simulation of one. You are nothing more than a vapid unit of flesh and bone trapped since a Baudrillardian infinity mirror, where the references have their own references.

You become more of a vague concept than a real person—some strange, soulless mix of ambition and violent/sexual impulses—and in your constant confusion you fail to ever become a true subject.

You pay $17 for the ice cream cone. Then, you pull out your list of saved Instagram Reels which tell you where to get reservations for pasta later.

When you arrive, you find yourself stuck in yet another long line, with people who look just like you.

The longer you wait in lines like these, the harder it becomes to ever recover the soul of the person you were before you moved into your East Village studio.

this weekend being my first introduction to NYC has definitely one-shotted all other cities I’ve been to thus far. it’s the city that ends all cities.

[donald @Boringstein]

do you know how absurdly high the bar is for a night to be the best saturday night New York has ever had? basically every summer weekend night here is paradise already. whatever videos youre seeing, it was actually 100x better. greatest city in the world not even close.

I think people should seriously question why sexual liberation is so often articulated as the primary form of freedom for women. Who decided that this is the horizon of emancipation? Why is “liberation” indistinguishable from incorporation into a sexual marketplace?
