feeling weirdly wistful about the obliteration of Carthage a Roman Republic-sized civilization’s worth of unique literature, law, religion, politics, culture — poof, gone, `rm -rf`ed from history

something about "common knowledge cascade" gets at something, but it's almost too precise to be accurate and it misses the feeling from within. the feeling from within bodies to know each other as their own
5 years ago i might have been really excited to call this a common knowledge cascade, these days i'd call say yeah, love is embodied in ritual, each act makes the relationship more real to both bodies
Until reading @SimonDeDeo’s recent tweet, I’d never considered falling in love as a common knowledge cascade. Kinda feels like it might explain what’s happening here. Are these birds “developing common knowledge of their pair bond”?
falling in love as a common knowledge cascade this old tweet gradually blew my mind in the background and now I can't stop seeing courtship in terms of mating dances

@lukas_ohl I assume the restaurant doesn’t want the scalping to happen and is trying to prevent it. If it isn’t then I agree it’s hard to explain.
I feel the same about this as about ticket scalpers: even if it looks like they’re increasing allocative efficiency, selling at below-clearing prices is too pervasive for it to be a dumb inefficiency. Restaurants must benefit from charging less for reservations than they could.
Unbelievably grim article about NYC restaurant reservation scalpers - people are paying a thousand bucks to buy a Carbone reservation on the secondary market. newyorker.com/news/our-local…
It could just be very unpopular but Ticketmaster-type businesses are not otherwise renowned for being popularity-seeking. I think sports venues, musicians, & restaurants see their long-term success as depending on lower spending, tastemaking patrons they don’t want to price out.
When that tweet you just posted starts taking off but then you notice the the typo.
The solution to this, and it's gonna sound like a joke but I'm 100% serious, is to have an AI agent manager supervising the other AI agents to make sure they stay on track. They can even give them pep talks when needed. Here's what this looks like:
