Went down another rabbit hole via Lanier, about the interesting hypothesis we could be living in a simulation.

Then found this render of Walter White, pretty amazing stuff.

Excellent article. Thanks.

What dude describes is pretty much where I’m at. I highly recommend the use of Pocket by the way to save web pages that are of interest to you and have them available for offline reading. It really cuts down on aimless surfing. Also carry a paperback book in your bag at all times!

This is a brilliant but frightening read so far

My way of just cold turkeying it is working perfectly… Post and run on insta and twitter (though answer people who have taken the time to write and ask you stuff or whatever in the dms).

Not sure I follow?

Hari is a plagiarist, amongst other things. Its a beautiful irony that he’s written this book on attention span hoping that people have forgotten. Him and ethics are at best distant friends. I think he is quite a dangerous presence in the spheres he operates in…

Oh! Got any links? I remember him from the Independent about 10 years ago, always liked his writing

Never mind I found a bunch of stuff. Well, I’ll still read this book and make my own mind up I guess :roll_eyes:

Very well put - I knew the plagiarism charges and had always avoided his books for that - but the vindictive editing of wiki pages - wow The tale of Mr Hari and Dr Rose
