  • I think the Internet still has lots of promise. We just did a capitalism on it. If we can get the cancer out it’ll be an amazing thing again.

    But I do think some of that early promise was overestimated because mostly smart people were on it then. We thought it was the medium, but it was just techies or people with hobbies or interest that made it that special place, now that your average Joe is there it’s mostly shit, but go somewhere with a little barrier to entry (like Lemmy) and it is pretty cool again.













  • I wonder if that’s true. I was confused about why Paul would’ve taken the fight. Joshua is a bit past his prime but he’s not washed up. And has had a pretty good career. He’s really a tremendously skilled fighter and I doubt Paul, as egotistical as he might be, thought he could win.

    I did see another commenter speculating that Paul took the fight knowing he would lose, but thinking with a larger ring and his skills at running, he could survive until the end and that he would legitimize himself as a real professional boxer. Made sense to me. But interesting if Netflix forced him.
