By far the most influential artist in NYC right now is the guy who draws these BAD LUCK SPOTS, which no one wants to step on, all over Washington Square, altering the walking patterns of TENS OF THOUSANDS every day

It’s funny that there are basically two genres of media now:
(1) New Media, which publishes about things that exist in the world
(2) Old Media, which publishes about why people in New Media are bad and evil

Nabokov believed the only way to fairly grade his humanities students was to ask 100 or so ruthlessly specific multiple choice questions about the assigned texts in an in class exam, and he was right
I asked my 15-year-old to run through ChatGPT a bunch of take-home essay questions I asked my students this year. Initially, it seemed like I could continue the way I do things. Then my daughter refined the inputs. Now I see that I need to change course.

The case for Urbit really isn't complicated
1. The internet as we use it today makes us stupid and unhappy
2. It doesn't have to be that way, and some base-level technical changes can fix it
3. Urbit is a long-term project to implement those changes

This writer simply hates art and artists. Art has been so fully subsumed by society, we have become so convinced that it is but a pleasant thing you do in between macchiato and a healthy brisk walk, that we have forgotten that it is the rightful province of obsessives and madmen

I’ll go one further. Dunham the artist truly was what Hannah Horvath ridiculously proclaimed herself in EP1: The voice of her generation. The show always brilliantly undercut whatever tedious monoculture talking points Dunham would make in public—a perfect example of a real
One reason Lena is hated so much more is because her art is divisive, unique, singular, GG has some decent collaborations & I liked Lady Bird fine but it’s not the foundational and visionary text that is Girls/ LD’s other work and no amount of “stans” on twitter can change that

Event production is harder than most people realize. You need to book the venue. You need it to get big. And then when it gets big, you kind of wish it hadn’t gotten so big. Requires a pragmatist approach. For this reason I would’ve recommended a William James egirl party
I'd bet $10,000 that the "hegelian egirls" did not in fact cancel their party because St Joseph's/St Theresa's backed out after receiving violent threats
I would bet this because I called and they said not only did they receive no threats, no event was scheduled for tomorrow

It's a shame no one has the attention span to read a full essay anymore, because if they did they could finally get that Urbit is not only a meme but the foundation for a new society and the most undervalued "NFT" project in the world. (TINA).
Oh well! Here are some pictures

It's an exciting time for littérateurs. No one knows what to read or why. Legacy institutions, which used to to guide us, die from insularity and fear of thoughtcrime. But with their death we lose our last link to a real intellectual tradition.

Our problem today is not illiteracy but specious literacy. Once you truly know what a word means it becomes a friendly spirit and you may summon it. But when you use a word without knowing it intimately, it will do disgusting things to you—perhaps in your sleep. A terrible fate.

Art and "output of consciousness" are not synonyms. Art is a particular ritual—our last link with transcendence

Also, at risk of becoming a bore and always being on about this, in some sense the cultural commissars are correct: All real art is indeed 'contaminated,' because it is our last vestige of a once ubiquitous attitude rejecting the idea that human life can be rationally optimized
