How truly different are the destinations? Some might see that sameness of destination meaning "ending at someplace different", which is superficially similar. Or that it starts and ends at home, however one defines home, and the trip may take longer than expected.
I interpreted it as, nomatter what choices and decisions we make, we're all in this same shared reality (even if our perspectives on it differ). We're on a shared journey moving through time.

#5It's an interesting symmetry that's like cyclical Muzak (now Mood Media, iHeartRadio for business, etc..)

#7This is excellent as an essay on a specific piece of internet culture history. I am intimately familiar with all the terms covered, yet this article gives them additional historical context as well as intriguing insights by linking everything together. Highly recommend anyone coming straight to the comments gives it a read, there's a lot of interesting ideas to consider.
Or in other words: philosopher energy, late night cozy lecture hall vibes

#8Awesome piece. I’ve got two scientific articles on vibes that are due to be published in the next two months. I’ve been obsessed with the operationalization and measurement of the vibe.
It turns out that Isaac Newton proposed that the brain is based on (electrical) vibrations. This idea was soundly rejected by the medical establishment because nerves were too “flaccid” to sustain vibrations.
