RT @lexfridman: Human tendency to conform, especially when in large groups, is terrifying. Propaganda machines leverage this throughout human history. The way out is to think freely, detached from the divisive narratives of the day that masquerade as universal truths. This often feels lonely.

@warrenmyers @WesEklund I second this. I’ve only been to Seattle once, in 2010, and got to visit The space needle while there. There’s also a restaurant up top, I remember it was rather expensive.

Basically this exact warning is in Dante’s Paradiso, where the pilgrim is often unable to look at heavenly things, simply because they would blind him. He does get blinded once, fortunately St. John the Evangelist restores his sight.
