by James Wallace Harris, 4/17/26 When I bought Abundance by Ezra Klein and Derek Thompson, I assumed it would be about creating a post-scarcity society. Instead, it’s about the supply-side pr…

Others' Writing That Has Me Thinking

Sometimes I read a piece of writing that has me thinking for days or weeks. It's silly to keep all of that good stuff with me and only me, so I decided to start documenting it for others who may be interested. Position on this list serves no relation to the writing's worth, it's purely chronological. 🌟'd links are articles I highly recommended reading. 2025 🌟 WhatsApp Uncles vs. Wisdom Aunties Working With LLMs: A Few Lessons It's a Torturous Chaos Until It Isn't Rolling the Ladder Up Behind…
