I only found them subtly annoying. That tree-coffee is my new favorite.

Another Single-Topic Tumblr of the Day: Kim Jong-il Dropping the Bass.
I’m not so sure he shot 11 holes-in-one on his first try or went his entire life without defecating, but I have no doubt that only a man as callous and cruel as Kim Jong-il could have invented dubstep.
“only a man as callous and cruel as Kim Jong-il could have invented dubstep.” HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

A tiny number of ideas can go a long way, as we’ve seen. And the Internet makes that more and more likely. What’s happening is that we might, in fact, be at a time in our history where we’re being domesticated by these great big societal things, such as Facebook and the Internet. We’re being domesticated by them, because fewer and fewer and fewer of us have to be innovators to get by. And so, in the cold calculus of evolution by natural selection, at no greater time in history than ever before, copiers are probably doing better than innovators. Because innovation is extraordinarily hard. My worry is that we could be moving in that direction, towards becoming more and more sort of docile copiers.

“The interesting thing with Facebook is that, with 500 to 800 million of us connected around the world, it sort of devalues information and devalues knowledge. And this isn’t the comment of some reactionary who doesn’t like Facebook, but it’s rather the comment of someone who realizes that knowledge and new ideas are extraordinarily hard to come by. And as we’re more and more connected to each other, there’s more and more to copy. We realize the value in copying, and so that’s what we do.
