Can you help me find it? It presents a typical situation like:

  • I love LOtR (or something else)
  • what's that?
  • You never watched LOtR? It's impossible. How could it be? Etc etd
    Then it goes through the mathematics of the rate of discovering things through your lifetime to prove that even if something is popular, it's not unreasonable to be discovered by someone new. And it concludes that situation like those should be a moment of joy and excitement that you are witnessing someone discovering new great art.

Sounds familiar? Please help me find it.

No, I can't stress enough how much I appreciate it. What I do right now is sending this article with TLDR to all my friends and family.

Well, it was obvious to you. I'm a casual user, who tries to "do his best" and consider himself "somewhat informed" - obviously not by your standard. It was all news to me, and I find tremendous value in this article.

Go for the Owls and sent the letter up with a rumor that the De-Gnoming procedure is about to start. They are not that bright. They will run down to you.

I don't know.... if only we have something like hard data from things like investing that could prove that women are better and making long-term decision and are less likely to make a rush decisions based on short-lived noise. You write like it's something we know from at least from early 2000s. It's not like it's a strong and growing consensus now, right?

Is open-source washing really a thing? Any examples come to mind?

Fair. And I believe this absurd was addressed in universe multiple time. Often with him losing the money in a process. But yes, it's one of the unfortunate consequence of our shift in how we see billionaires. Batman is the richest and smartest person in the world who care only about one city... with it's underfunded mental asylum looking like a hose of horror.

The irony is clear. They have a better way of fixing the system than fists and arrow. They are the system.

The lean batman and lean GA are the only one that make sense. But they need to be part of the Justice League with immortal gods. So they need the 9th metal mech and killer ray space stations... which cost money.

But saying GL is not an environmentalist is like saying that Batman don't care about Gotham. (Even if they have a stupid way of organizing their priorities.)

Come on, man. You are portraying a scenario when I opened all comics starting now and stopped when I reached a first one with environmental theme? Is this arguing in good faith? The image is old because it's an important part of his worldview for a long time. One of his enemy from this year is named "Fresh Water Killer".

Because of his views.

He's consistently an "old lefty" sometimes more "sustainable-first capitalist" sometimes more "anarchist", but his views on things like pollution are well established.

From what I observed the people who consider the concept of consent flawed and are discussing how it could be improved upon, so the safety and comfort of all people involved is protected seems, are the same people who fights for women's right. There is a great RadioLab dive in on the topic - I honestly couldn't recommend it enough). People who demands straight pride parades uses any edge cases of consent going wrong to weaponize it into "it happened, so the consent was there". If you're genuinely concern about safety and well-being of man, you're putting your effort in a wrong place.

Well, Green Arrow. But you have a point.
