Thinking about this yesterday. A broken record, but capitalism is the original brain rot. It *fundamentally* turns interactions into something adversarial: how much value can I extract from this interaction while protecting my assets. Joy comes from sharing, joy comes from helping others grow.
nickelboltI'm thinking a lot about joy as an act of resistance (and not just the exceptional Idles album.) Have you ever once seen anyone in the administration genuinely smile? Or any billionaire tech bro? They're miserable people who hate joy and want everyone to be as miserable as they are.
