Adam McKay Told Me How Many People Have Seen Don't Look Up

 Two hundred and thirty million so far. Nominated for Best Picture! 

I was staying at his house for a few days a couple of weeks ago. 

"Wicked Problems"

 Finally I found footage! This won the Royal Philharmonic Society award last year for best short composition. (Lyrics by me.) 

Fascinating: My Most Obscure Book Is Now My Most Popular

 Well, according to the sales figures, Dark Ecology outperformed Being Ecological and Humankind and All Art is Ecological by a big margin. And Hyperobjects! 

In fact I've never received such good sales figures. 

I'm going to have a go at explaining why on my Patreon this morning. 

Also: I'm deeply diving into The Dawn of Everything (have you yet? You absolutely must) and what is also intriguing is, Dark Ecology predicted this argument and I am sure Graeber didn't read it! I very much like it when people I like and whose intellect I trust (was just making friends with him when he died) come to the same conclusions as me. Especially if they're using different sets of tools: "philosophy" and "anthropology" (I'm sure they would put that word in quotation marks too). 

The overlap? A sense of the ridiculous. Comedy. It's a really important overlap actually. I'll talk about it on Patreon today.
