you're just a condom between Claude and your production server getting fucked

certain frictions in learning and thinking, effortful retrieval, delayed feedback, the struggle to get an idea onto the page in your own words, are not obstacles to durable understanding but the mechanism of it. Remove the difficulty for the sake of comfort, and you do not get the same understanding faster. You get less of it, delivered more smoothly.

Bij de meeste Belgen doet de naam Hyves wellicht geen belletje rinkelen. In Nederland ging de nostalgiemeter wél in het rood bij de aankondiging dat het sociaal netwerk een tweede leven krijgt. De Telegraaf had de primeur: met Hyves gaat moederbedrijf Mediahuis de concurrentie aan met de Facebooks en Tiktoks van deze wereld. Hyves was in Nederland begin jaren 2000 nog de populairste socialenetwerksite, maar gaf dertien jaar geleden de strijd tegen de Amerikaanse concurrenten op. Drie jaar eerder, in 2010, had Telegraaf Media Groep (TMG) nog 43,7 miljoen euro veil voor het platform. TMG werd inmiddels opgeslorpt door Mediahuis, de Belgische uitgever van onder ander Het Nieuwsblad en De Standaard.Mediahuis ontkent dat de reanimatie door nostalgie werd ingegeven, maar probeert het te verkopen als ethisch alternatief voor big tech. De uitgever plaatst Hyves’ herrijzenis nadrukkelijk binnen twee trends. Enerzijds speelt het in op toenemende kritiek op de schadelijke effecten van de verslavende algoritmes van grote platformen, anderzijds surft het mee op de golven van de beweging die pleit voor meer Europese digitale autonomie.“Hyves wil het anders doen”, klinkt het. Maar wie de gebruiksvoorwaarden en privacyverklaring leest, ziet meteen dat je dit best met een korrel zout neemt. Hyves wordt een zoveelste advertentieplatform voor Mediahuis, zoals elke ‘mediamerk’ dat eigenlijk is. De gegevens die Mediahuis over gebruikers van Hyves binnenhaalt, kunnen gebruikt worden om ook de advertenties op andere sites van Mediahuis op maat van gebruikers te snijden.Of het nu van Mediahuis of DPG Media is: op basis van de gegevens die de uitgevers verzamelen, krijgen gebruikers ‘gepersonaliseerde’ reclame te zien: surveillance capitalism in de Lage Landen. Op kleinere schaal, maar in essentie blijft het hetzelfde verdienmodel als dat van Facebook, Instagram, … (Moederbedrijf Meta lanceerde tot grote tevredenheid van de beurs een ‘persoonlijke’ AI-agent voor zijn gebruikers en daarmee wil Meta uiteraard ook gebruikersgegevens opslurpen en gebruiken.)Het Nederlandse platform voor onderzoeksjournalistiek Follow the Money ontdekte bovendien dat gebruikersgegevens van Hyves gewoon verwerkt worden via Amerikaanse software. Ondanks de belofte van “een overwegend Europese technische architectuur”.Een commercieel mediabedrijf dat gebruikers wil insluiten op een commercieel sociaal medium. Denken we echt dat dit een oplossing is? Een stukje macht van vooral Amerikaanse big tech afknijpen en overdragen aan commerciële bedrijven van ‘eigen bodem’? Nochtans toont een andere krant van Mediahuis dat het ook anders kan. Lezers van NRC konden de voorbije weken de queeste van techjournalist Marloes de Koning volgen om de krant aan het open sociale web toe te voegen. Het leidde tot een plan om een NRC-server te openen op Mastodon, waarop “mensen van binnen en buiten NRC met elkaar in gesprek kunnen gaan, onder onze eigen voorwaarden en op onze infrastructuur”.Mastodon is onderdeel van het fediverse, een verzameling van alternatieve sociale netwerken die onderling verbonden zijn. Zoals bij e-mail maakt het niet uit of je nu een account hebt bij NRC of bij een andere dienstverlener: je kan met anderen in gesprek gaan. (En van dienstverlener wisselen als je ontevreden bent.) Om dit mogelijk te maken, rekent dat fediverse op het ActivityPub-protocol; een set van regels over hoe systemen met elkaar moeten communiceren.

Technology has no moral direction of its own. For the last century it mostly made animals' lives worse: denser cages, crueler genetics, and drugs to keep them alive in squalor. But it could just as easily make them better, through alternative proteins and humane farming tech. Which way it goes is partly up to us.

So: Who are we when we stop letting economic necessity, division of labor, and survival decide our roles? When comfort and convenience replace purpose, does polarity become a performance? What if union was no longer where two people settle, but where they start moving? If a role is not the energy itself, could freedom from fixed roles make men more masculine and women more feminine? If money can live in the unseen, free from identity, can the soul be freed from the identities the world assigns it? ​When union is polarized by two whole souls rather than two fixed roles, what kind of culture do we create, and who do our children become?

essay writing is not a practice that is ideal for the purpose of ethopoiesis

I like to write essays, so it is comforting to think of it as a powerful practice, something that helps me live more fully and grow as a person. But if I look at it soberly, it is clear to me that essay writing is not a practice that is ideal for the purpose of ethopoiesis.[6](https://www.henrikkarlsson.xyz/p/hypomnemata?triedRedirect=true#footnote-6) It is common to think that what we do achieves what we want it to achieve, even if there is no evidence for it. There are many practices that promise to transform and improve us—therapy, meditation, psychedelics—, but that branding doesn’t mean that they actually do much for us: it is common to see people use these techniques for years without any obvious progress on their problems.

I have often noticed that my experience of reality improves if I write and think about something.

But rereading the essay now, I realize how much it has influenced how I write: my essays are (often) meditations I do in order to deepen core ideas I want to live by, and to strengthen parts of myself I want strengthened.[5](https://www.henrikkarlsson.xyz/p/hypomnemata?triedRedirect=true#footnote-5) (Writing treatises and letters was a common way of internalizing the content of the hypomnēmata.) And this practice has been transformative for me. I have often noticed that my experience of reality improves if I write and think about something.

turning truth into character

The hypomnēma was a mechanism for centering your mind on what matters, and for gradually refining your understanding of what matters. It was, to use a word from Plutarch, a tool for *ethopoiesis* (*ethos* meaning “character” and *poiesis* “making”), a tool for turning truth into character. By meditating daily on sentences that made it real to you how you wanted to live, you would remember to do the right thing—you would remember to practice it during the day (simply thinking about it is not going to change you).

store quotes from books they had read

During the first two centuries of the Roman Empire, there spread a practice known as *hypomnēmata*, a type of notetaking system, used as a tool for meditation,[1](https://www.henrikkarlsson.xyz/p/hypomnemata?triedRedirect=true#footnote-1) in which the writer would store quotes from books they had read. Each day, often in the morning, the notetaker would open their notebook and look for a passage relevant to something they were struggling with, and then they would meditate on that—unpacking it, making the idea top of mind, ensuring it was alive in them.

the end of intellectual development, artificial intelligence

First, the baby lives in a stone-age world where the most interesting things are objects and how they form into tools; next comes art, before even language—attractive patterns, the making of pictures and colors as if on cave walls, as these are tools extending into the abstract realm; then comes language and thought, and the sparks of reasoning and planning; then, literacy, the big bang, as oceans of knowledge begin to pour into the waiting receptacle; following that, mathematics, as reasoning reaches its apotheosis and the mind accesses the platonic realm, and so on and so forth. In terms of what this means practically, the progression focuses on first the physical world and the people in it, then oral culture as stories are mainly told (either read aloud by parents or listening to [Yoto players](https://us.yotoplay.com/)), then after that literacy itself, and then films are introduced like Disney classics or Studio Ghibli, then more complex, longer books—we are here—and then eventually television, video games, the internet, social media, and finally, at the end of intellectual development, artificial intelligence.

Oftentimes, characters find themselves at odds with previous events in their lives that must be confronted head-on for them to be at ease.

Kill the Past is the collective term for a number of related video games directed by SUDA51. Not only are these games often thematically similar, but they also feature a number of recurring trademarks, for instance: severed heads (sometimes in paper bags), the death and resurrection of playable characters (as well as the meaninglessness of death in general), the Moon, assassins, the medium of television, and occasionally even recurring characters.
