If only the Covid tyranny would open people's eyes that 'settled science' is an oxymoron. Science is a not to be a dead end but a road continuously traveled. But I encountered too many people with eyes blissfully closed. But l I do agree with this one if it were adjusted for inflation. "640K ought to be enough for anybody.”
I still lament the demise of the gifted typographer. It's truly a lost art. (Kerning and leading have gone the way of the buggy whip.)
GTA school teachers convinced me at a young age that we'd all die of overpopulation -- and they even brought in ZPG representatives to warn us against reproduction. Thanks, Paul Ehrlich. You were wrong...and I have no children.
Freaking hilarious. I love it!
Thanks Jake!

Phil,
You make me chuckle. Thank you.
PS—Predictions are hard but why don’t we ever learn from our history. The Jevons Paradox should ease AI alarmism.
Glad you liked it.
Never heard of Jevons Paradox so just looked it up. Makes sense.

More doormen is what I'd like to see. As far as I know this is now strictly a NYC thing.
Ya, Ehrlich is a piece of work. Probably made a hell of a lot of money preaching false doom prophesies.
