It is deeply, broadly true that our society teaches nearly everyone to undervalue nearly everything about themselves.
You, any given person, are capable of so much. You understand things, you think about things, you have creativity and insight and compassion and a robust, structured understanding of things you've spent time learning.

The Forth thing was a very cool and clever way to build those games in the mid 1980s but the UX it creates for players today is borderline unusable, and the games are historically important enough they deserve to be as widely accessible as the Ultimas are.

“Agreement on how the clean-up measures would be funded was also a sticking point, with traditional donor countries less able to commit funding because of their growing defence spending commitments, delegates told the FT.”

The global plastics treaty wasn’t just sunk because of petrostate opposition, but because Europe is spending so much more money on their militaries. Defence spending kills us and destroys our lives even when we don’t fire a single bullet.

every “ancient tradition” was invented between 1848-1870 and every “modern perversion” is so ancient as to predate writing
