  • achievement society–Burnout Society

    I'll throw this into the pile of intellectual bookmarks I would love to check out if I had more time and attention.

    I did skim this link to get a general idea : https://philosophybreak.com/articles/byung-chul-han-burnout-society-our-only-imperative-is-to-achieve/

    Again, what I'm trying to imply is something that happens when people stay at their pasttime for extended periods of time and if the pasttimes have skills that you can get better at as you do it more. If Will likes Jazz as a hobby, but also wants to explore the galaxy, he chooses to enlist in starfleet instead of some jazz institution. He has his trombone and as he spends years playing it, he gets better and better at it, because he is able to do this instead of battling his depression in a holosuite somewhere.

    Barclay is interesting; since he does have mental issues , but we see him being treated for them so that he can move away from his addiction and maladaptive behaviour. However, people still enjoy the holodeck reasonably.

  • I'm not sure if you're referring to star trek or IRL.

    It just means that people turn to hobbies that allow them to develop their skills and gain nuance instead of just simple pleasure, because they are mentally stable enough to achieve their best.

  • 1a) multiple areas of competence–like everyone is always WORKING so hard to get BETTER at everything, like why do people need to also master classical instruments as well as advanced fluid dynamics?

    due to the post scarcity of it all, people are able to not only able to excel in their careers, but their pasttimes. Also, you should look into tech death metal and its creators. 90% of them work two jobs, and about 70% are doing well in some kind of engineering. One of the most important early composers, Muhammed Suiçmez of Necrophagist worked at BMW as an engineer.

    So if we can achieve that level of greatness in our shitty world, imagine where free therapy and free life would lead people to achieve.

  • In Blake’s 7 the whole cast of heroes are misanthropes in a crapsack universe who low-key hate each other but do what they can to make the best of it, with varying results.

    Farscape is this, more or less, and a mix of british , american and australian attitudes (and cast)

    I could be LaForge, if I HAD THE FUCKING TIME AND OPPORTUNITIES

  • I don’t understand how it evolved to be made in that form factor, and why it is still being done that way.

    I have semi good news for you. There are several sizes of newspaper, however, some newspapers are only available in certain sizes.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newspaper_format#Sizes_and_aspect_ratios

    • Broadsheet 749 mm × 597 mm (29.5 in × 23.5 in) (1.255 aspect ratio)
    • Nordisch 570 mm × 400 mm (22 in × 16 in) (1.425 aspect ratio)
    • Rhenish around 520 mm × 350 mm (20 in × 14 in) (1.486 aspect ratio)
    • Swiss (Neue Zürcher Zeitung) 475 mm × 320 mm (18.7 in × 12.6 in) (1.484 aspect ratio)
    • Berliner 470 mm × 315 mm (18.5 in × 12.4 in) (1.492 aspect ratio)
    • Tabloid 430 mm × 280 mm (17 in × 11 in) (1.536 aspect ratio)
    • Demitab (half tabloid) 200 mm × 270 mm (8 in × 10.5 in) 1.3125 aspect ratio. "Magazine format", though many magazines are larger. Used by The Economist.

    perhaps your physical newspaper is available in an alternate size?
