Cities vs. the world, one investable idea out of Trumpism.
Judging from how the elections went last year everywhere, here is an aha. One thing is clear: cities are winning and the country is losing. A completely different way to slice the world’s dichotomies. And in that it seems very

Buying from “China”, reality.
Two recent experiences. 1. Printing a book My book _Q is for Queens_ – designed in the US by me, with an illustrator from South Africa, typeset/layout by me in the US, then sent to a printer in Queens —

Tl;dr The Elementary Particles by Houllebecq
(Since I don’t think I’ll get around to a proper post on this, briefly:) Some truly cold, post-social era scientist dude (ruined by his childhood) bumps through life and relationships as an ogre. The people-scale storytelling is insightful but also

Tl;dr of Thoreau’s On the Duty of Civil Disobedience
Thoreau’s more important writing than Walden is on Civil Disobedience. He was kind of a 19th century survivalist — I just saw Viggo Mortensen raising his kids on Dostoevsky, Chomsky, hunting, exercise and Nature in “Captain Fantastic”. He was into

Tl;dr of Submission, by Michel Houellebecq
Living briefly in Paris in 2002-2003 I learned about Houellebecq, a loudmouth badboy intellectual novelist whom I decided never to read. A friend exhorted me to read his novel Submission, though, and I eventually yielded. You should probably read it
