Fulgentius, CΓ©sar Aira's Roman general and playwright A book review and some personal news, kind of. Adam's Notes for March 11, 2024

Wrote about CΓ©sar Aira's Fulgentius, which is about a Roman general who goes on one last campaign not out of duty or a desire for valour but because he wants to force the locals to stage his play adamsnotes.substack.com/p/fulgentius...

"why does AI seem to attract the worst people imaginable?" Because it attracts people who feel entitled to getting credit and money for other peoples' work, it's very straightforward

Black and white photo of a white couple in the front seats of a car looking out from the passenger side window. Behind the female passenger two shorthaired cats peer and sniff curiously out of the open window.

Solstice Blessing by Padrag Γ“ Tuama 
As night stretches here, day contracts elsewhere.
And in their night, we are bathed in light. 
In all nights there is light; in long days there can be ache too.
For you, we call the sun to stand still a while, and the moon too, and stars, and the waters and the heavens.
Hells as well β€” just for a second; just for a breath.
May that breath rest you.
And may each breath rest you, as it has until now, 
and now and now. 
This one, after that one, after that one after that.

The religion of techno-optimism Tech billionaires are using faith to solidify their power

Silicon Valley billionaires are drawing a line: you’re either a techno-optimist who won’t question them or an enemy they’re ready to fight.

In his new manifesto, Marc Andreessen embraces faith and fascism to justify the power of the tech elite. It shows why we need a renewed Luddite movement.

Black and white photo of a little girl in what seems to be winter clothing, awkwardly holding a very floofy white cat. The photo is mostly dark but the cat well lit, and the cat and. girl are gently out of focus, so those things combined give the cat a slightly fuzzy, glowing, otherworldly appearance despite the indignity of its circumstances.

Any shows you recommend in particular? I've been meaning to get into K-Dramas

(re: rest of thread, there are interesting aspects of Korean pop culture/hallyu that relate to "soft power" and nation building export markets too πŸ€”)
