I also strongly think there is a decline (demand?) in appreciation for such art. Even something not critically acclaimed or featured in the prestigious (think something more region…

In a similar vein, one of my favorite HN comments in the context of the modernist movement. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27243252

Sounds like South Africa possibly.

Another example of how we’re all collectively becoming worse at properly reading and parsing longer text. Really does make me wonder about backtracking on our breakthroughs in lite…

I wish there was an article on this matter that wasn’t written like a capitalist industrial consumer taste manufacturing piece. Takes longer to get to the point too, but that’s jus…

TFA’s author notes they’ve watched Adam Curtis’s Hypernormalization. As someone who is vary of his Century of Self documentary, I think it’s worth remembering how deceptive visual …

Hit the nail on the head with that framing. So many articles are now coming out addressing the anxieties about adoption of a new technology, but we genuinely don’t really need it a…

It is also the case that PCs are still more expensive than phones. Had a work colleague in one of my first customer facing service jobs who relied almost completely on an android p…

You created this account exclusively to articulate transphobic misinformation?

true. This is a good essay but there’s, as to be expected, not too much of an acknowledgement of the economic and political backdrop of the arena this played out in. A lot of discu…

I’d wish for a more pointed rebuttal than merely a post complaining that the writer now sucks on here. It seems substantial to a degree of a post to me at least even if not whole i…

Helpful type of nagging for me. Most here would agree they are not a positive aspect of the modern digital experience, calling it out gently without hostility is not bad. It might …

Clearly an AI bot posting slop. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46753519 being another example. I wonder if there’s known ideas on how to protect the quality of discourse on h…

Firsthand evidence of AI bot accounts posting slop on here/astroturfing I suppose.

Tangentially, I think that the “excuse” for these platforms that they need to make money enabled a lot of the current dystopian level of ad tracking. Network effects be damned, we …

On the contrary, it being published in 2012 makes it feel a little closer to 20th century mode of traditional media cultural criticism which felt a little more grounded than it is …

> This is a large, obvious, mistake. It seems quite rational a response to the decisions taken by a larger neighboring nation’s state unexpectedly increasing hostility.

Would also recommend the Moody's Talks podcast led by Mark Zandi, the Moody's Analytics chief economist. He's been more or less talking about this for months now and sounded the al…

I think this is covered in Micheal Easter’s notion that as societies become more comfortable, our brains lower the threshold of what constitutes a “problem” in our lives. We’re wir…

First off, I think you're a bit convoluted with your timeline with modernism and postmodern. Most of what you seem to criticize seem to be related to postmodern sensibilities, rath…

I meant my response generally since you listed some thinkers I'm more familiar with. For Heidegger, perhaps you would find this overview (and related videos) interesting for some c…

>So what is the value of such work, which is so open to interpretation that 100 years later you will find diametrically opposed takes on its meaning? Different takes to make sense …
