.@dkthomp says wearables like the Oura Ring "replace the hard question of 'How should I live?' with the easy question of 'What should I optimize that is observable?'"

"If I have a really good time with a friend at 9:30PM, that can't be measured in my Oura Ring data."

"There's no dashboard I can look at on my phone that says I had a really good time with my friend, and he appreciated my presence."

"The Oura Ring will say, 'You stayed up too late, and now your HRV sucks.'"

"I think there's ways in which sometimes these technologies replace the hard question of 'How should I live?' with the easy question of 'What should I optimize that is observable?'"

Right! And we are all brainwashed to think it’s something to aspire to. I know this is old but the difference between one million and one billion is so vast I think people can’t comprehend it. One million seconds equals is 11.5 days. One billion seconds is 31.7 Years. And Elon is about to be a trillionaire. That would be 31,700 years. Now do the math in dollars. And the fact is that no one in the history of the world has ever attained that wealth by any other means then some form of domination over others. I do not begrudge financial success, but I do have a real problem when the the top 0.1% (130,000 families) hold 6 times the wealth as the bottom 66 million households combined. Put another way 905 individuals in America have twice the wealth of the entire bottom half of the country- 165,000,000 people. And it wasn’t always this way. The top 0.1 percent’s share of the U.S. wealth pie has grown 59.6 percent since just 1989.

@gabydvj Have you read Little Women? Amy March has to deal with this stuff in the 1860s

@Broad_STweet @ClayLaSoul College basketball and football are objectively worse than professional basketball and football because all the college teams are worse on the objective metric of scoring fewer points in h2h matchups.

However, they might be subjectively better bc they’re more fun to watch.

[wesley @wesleytchen]

@funplings I hate it when people do this too tbh

[wesley @wesleytchen]

I think people everywhere do this actually

[iwsfutcmd saw you at VC5 @iwsfutcmd]

there's this weird thing midwesterners do where they think they say things that nobody else in the US does, but are actually common throughout the country. i've seen countless examples of this

[wesley @wesleytchen]

@ad0rnai I think a lot of my Chinese relatives haven’t, either. Definitely not a US thing

[wesley @wesleytchen]

Sophocles wrote about this actually

[wesley @wesleytchen]

@Broad_STweet @ClayLaSoul You think that NCAA basketball and football aren’t objectively worse than the NBA and NFL? Sure, it might be more fun to watch, but the best college team will objectively lose 100/100 times to the worst pro team.

[wesley @wesleytchen]

@sourhoestarter In what way?

[wesley @wesleytchen]

@orcachillin I’m in Kirkland
