He must analysethe whole stroke, and must not attempt to do it asif it were a single unit. It is true that the bornplayer, by the light of genius, does the whole stroke asa whole stroke, and perhaps is not aware that it can feedivided into parts : he may even deny it. None theless it has often been proved that it can be divided intoparts, and that to master each part separately is a mucheasier .process than to -master the whole -at once. It is -notgoing too far to say that for average people to masterthe whole stroke at once is an absolute impossibility.

A writer collective is a set of editorial and financial structures designed to give writers the autonomy and upside that they get from writing alone, and the support and security they get from working for a media company.

Not that you’d care whether it was true or not. For you, thingswere real that the rest of us couldn’t see or hear.When I finished the story, you’d say, “Viji and Rukku together?”“Always.” I was confident.Our togetherness was one of the few things I had faith in.

Talking to you was always easy, Rukku. But writing’s hard.“Write her a letter,” Celina Aunty said, laying a sheet of paperon the desk. Paper remade from wilted, dirty, hopeless litter thathad been rescued, scrubbed clean, and reshaped. Even the pencilshe gave me was made from scraps.“You really like saving things, don’t you?” I said.Crinkly lines softened her stern face. “I don’t like giving up,” shesaid.She rested her dark hand, warm and heavy, on my shoulder.“Why should I write?” I said. “It’s not like you have heraddress.”“I believe your words will reach her,” Celina Aunty said.“We’re opposites,” I said. “You believe in everything andeverybody. You’re full of faith.”“Yes,” she said. “But you’re full, too. You’re full of feelings youwon’t share and thoughts you won’t voice.”She’s right about that. I don’t talk to anyone here any more thanI have to. The only person I want to talk to is you, Rukku.Maybe writing to you is the next best thing.If you could read my words, what would you want me to tellyou?I suppose you’d like to hear the fairy tale you’d make me tellevery night we huddled together on the ruined bridge. The story thatbegan with Once upon a time, two sisters ruled a magical land, andended with Viji and Rukku, always together.That story was made up, of course.

If there’s a force that’s driving us toward greater complexity, there seems to be an opposing force, a force of destruction that uses competition for ill. The way I see it, Moloch is the god of unhealthy competition, of negative sum games.

Und doch fand er darin nie das, was er eigentlich suchte, sondern etwas Neues, Überraschendes.

The magic bullet of education and skillseliminating poverty is an alluring one, but without a substantial increase in thenumber and quality of opportunities available, it is only a mirage.

However, there is fatal flaw to this argument—as an overall macro strategyfor reducing poverty, it will be ineffective unless we also increase the overallquantity and quality of opportunities, particularly job opportunities, in society.In other words, by providing an individual with greater education, we havemade them more competitive in the job market, but only at the expense ofsomeone else. In this sense, the strategy is played as a zero-sum game.

The critical mistake that has been made in the past is that we have equatedthe question of who loses the game with the question of why the game produceslosers in the first place. They are, in fact, distinct and separate questions.

The need for students to participate in the larger conversations around subject mattershelps writers creating more intellectual prose, but this becomes difficult in a “culture

DAOstack imagines thousands of organizations and applications utilizing the stack in the near future. And the intention is not just to serve each use case individually. It’s easy to imagine how, with a scalable solution for decentralized governance in place, decision-making can become more frictionless not only within collectives but also between collectives.Indeed, this is the broader vision of DAOstack. The platform is designed to underpin an entire ecosystem of decentralized organizations — a community of interoperable DAOs, able to share talent, ideas, and learnings with one another. DAOs will even be able to act as members of other DAOs, creating a fluid “DAO mesh” or “internet of work” in which collectives of collectives are commonplace, and in which any given individual might participate in dozens of different DAOs.

Frontend frameworks are a positive sum game! Svelte has no monopoly on the compiler paradigm either. Just like I think React is worth learning for the mental model it imparts, where UI is a (pure) function of state, I think the frontend framework-as-compiler paradigm is worth understanding. We're going to see a lot more of it because the tradeoffs are fantastic, to where it'll be a boring talking point before we know it.
