		purple_basilisk 27 days ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Well being in times of algorithms Thank you for this deeply revealing take. I think this is the dynamic at the core of what matters here. Reminds me of Dostoevsky's take on what people really want - here's an interesting short piece that direction. https://www.laphamsquarterly.org/freedom/these-are-barbarous...

Thanks for sharing this.

It made me wonder where a future goes when it keeps trying to define both barbarism and normalcy.

As a small tribute in return, three films came to mind:

Bicentennial Man,

Gattaca,

Fight Club.

I’ve always preferred Ivan the Fool — choosing to live, rather than living inside a definition.
