The long eighteenth century (1648–1945)

[Dr Theo Nash @theo_nash]

A century cannot be 190 years, historians need to be stopped.

Not a fan of his work, but this is an end of an era situation. There are no more German intellectuals of his rank who are also public intellectuals left.

“inconvenience is the price you pay to live in a society”

i agree! it is inconvenient to not listen to your music and your tiktoks whenever you want just because you forgot your headphones. but you have to do it because you are living in a society :)

Unfortunately, I can no longer read a "it's not this, it's that" construction without immediately raising my AI hackles. Just total rhetorical style death.

When the Nordics form a federal state and acquire nukes, what should be the lingua franca? I think the answer is fairly obvious: Finland's Swedish, Nyland variety. Everyone understands it and it will absolutely thrill SFP to make it a mandatory school subject across the Nordics.

[Edward Howell @TheEdwardHowell]

A fantastic quotation. What is the end goal of a university degree?

Said goal is--or should be--one's education.

Editing is just looking at a rough draft, asking “who wrote this idiotic slop?”, and realizing that you did and that you have to fix it

The elephants are dying. Scipio Africanus is approaching. The human sacrifices didn’t work.

You bolt awake in your ikea bed. You are online. Someone has published a new substack on the “enshittification” of “quangos”. Anglofuturism must come to pass. The bureaucrats must burn.

[a ressentiment woman @ANNVYSHINSKY]

I feel like while genuine mansplaining exists, the word is thrown around too readily. I’d like to think I can distinguish when someone is just really excited about a topic I happen to be interested in as well from when someone condescends to me.

Lots of humanities people getting sniffy about this but I think it's basically correct. Lectures are usually a waste of time, the ensuing Q&As are unbearably self-indulgent, & everything would be better if we were just reading each other's written work in our own time.

Når folk er ironiske på Letterboxd og Goodreads…ta den sykelige frykten for inderlighet til Twitter hvor den hører hjemme!!

[S. I. Rubinstein @si_rubinstein]

So many of my formative intellectual experiences involved reading books I was too young to properly understand & finding them all the more compelling & stimulating as a result. You should make kids read great books!
