We might as well just stop making movies and only watch stage plays from here on out

[Cristóbal Valenzuela @c_valenzuelab]

Imagine waking up and realizing that your full time job entails using a digital cinema camera with a 65mm large format CMOS sensor fabricated on a sub-20nm semiconductor process, capturing 16-bit linear RAW image sequences at multiple gigabytes per second onto high speed NVMe media. Those images are then ingested into a distributed storage architecture, checksum-verified, transcoded into proxy codecs, synchronized via SMPTE timecode, color-managed through ACES pipelines, denoised with machine-learning models, reconstructed with optical flow algorithms, and composited using physically based rendering, ray tracing, volumetric simulation, deep compositing, photogrammetry, LiDAR scans, neural radiance fields, and GPU-accelerated particle systems and yet still.... deciding to believe that there's nothing artificial about any of it.

Believing that only now are we entering an era of computer generated imagery.

@TrungTPhan Gotta be honest, doesn’t grab me. Feels like a movie that should have come out 5+ years ago

@astupple It’s heartbreaking seeing all the videos of a kids slow realization of the consequence of their actions. Like when their face turns blank and fidget with their hands and fingers, you’re experiencing their confusion and pain.. the worst!

Another great ep from @DKThomp

Would love a follow up ep maybe focused on fatherhood over the past decades. There’s so many “father advice” accounts all over YouTube and instagram. What happened? A lot of Millenial kids (now adults) are seeking out that simple father advice they were never taught as children. It’s not to put blame on Baby Boomer dads, just more of an explanation on how it got that way. Why were they more hands off? Was it simply the increase of divorce rates?

I know a friend in their 40s who recently sat down with his dad and asked how he was able to create such a nest egg of wealth from his investments.

“How do you do this? Why didn’t you ever show me?” And his dad simply replied “Well you never asked…”

That’s just so heartbreaking. On one hand you can say well the son wasn’t ready and now he is, and on the other hand you can argue if the Dad had simply showed him the importance of investing early on then his sons life could have been dramatically different today.

New pod: THE MANY MYTHS OF FATHERHOOD

SUCH a fun conversation with @darbysaxbe about the new science of fatherhood and her new book DAD BRAIN, incl.:

- why becoming a dad seems to be bad for men's brains in the short run but being a dad seems to be neurologically protective, in the long run

- there is no such thing as "traditional fatherhood" for us to "RETVRN" to. even in hunter gatherer societies separated by a 2 hours drive, you'll find communities where men are removed from childcare vs. fully enmeshed in childcare. this is part of a broader story, which is that styles of fatherhood are far more varied around the world than motherhood

- a cultural mystery: why did TV Dads go from being represented as know-it-all patriarchs in the 1950s/60s (Father Knows Best) to bumbling fools in the late 20th/early 21st century (Homer Simpson, Phil Dunphy)?

People are starving for trust, truth, and transparency. Governments and Institutions need to prop open their doors more so we can all have a look around and say “Hey, ya know what, there’s actually not too much going on in here. Ok I guess I can start trusting you again.”

But until that happens the conspiracies will only get louder and more frequent. It’s unfortunate but that’s the world we’re in now due to plummeting trust across governments and institutions.

[Derek Thompson @DKThomp]

If you want to have a good time in life, I think you should believe in some conspiracy theories. They're fun. Life is about having fun.

But if you want to be right, you should probably have a reflexive aversion to every conspiracy theory you hear. It's not that they're all wrong. It's more that the vast vast vast majority of them are incredibly stupid and don't really survive three seconds' thought (see post below for why it makes no sense for Karen Bass to rig an election to help a stronger candidate against her). More broadly, conspiracy theories almost always assume the extraordinary competency of a shadowy group of elites who are very good at keeping a secret. Haven't the last few decades proved that elites aren't that competent? Everybody accusing Karen Bass of expertly rigging the LA election on Twitter right now also thinks she sucks as mayor. What are the odds that the politician you hate, who you think sucks at everything, is exclusively good at rigging electoral outcomes to make you personally upset?

There's more to life than being right, so feel free to ignore the second paragraph. But people interested in being right should be much more reflexively judgmental of conspiracy theories.

[Adaptable @theadaptable1]

@DKThomp When there’s continued lack of transparency there will be a continued rise of conspiracy.

@KenWattana I would love to help fund indie filmmakers and get a cut of the profits. All they need to do is make a trailer. I’d watch 100 trailers a day and pick the top ones to help fund.
