You and I are now friends. This piece is definitely speaking *for* me inasmuch as it's a great point of third-party reference to support arguments I make all the time. So thanks, and let's rap.
"I always thought that the most maximalist form of Democracy is one where voting worked like gravity. Anyone can vote in any election, but your vote power is determined by regional proximity. eg, If the USA held a Presidential election, then Canadians and Mexicans would have 0.8 vote power and South Africans 0.1. Would this ever work? Probably not. Is this still interesting to explore? Hell yeah. Maybe worth a novella-length story in the future. ;)"
Thank you for breaking this down! This all resonates with me. I've been trying to be more concise, to reduce my stream of consciousness a bit within my musings- but why? Because I want to be more digestible in an age of noise? Seems innocent enough...but you're right, we lose so much nuance, depth and authenticity that way.
Illegibility will be on my mind as a good thing now- I feel liberated! 😉
Huge, huge fan of this month's newsletter!
"Using LLMs to go explore, to test and prod at latent spaces and to arrive back in our reality with newfound insight for the world isn’t slop." <3
Also loved Trust so much, and going to read that Harry x Murakami piece. You always expand the ways I'm thinking :)

I never considered illegibility as a personal moat before seeing this piece
