The Universal Symphony: How Music Shaped Humanity, Mind, and Cosmos

Music, for many, is a source of joy, comfort, or a backdrop to daily life. Yet, its true scope and profound influence on human existence are often underestimated. Michael Spitzer, Professor of Music at the University of Liverpool and author of The Musical Human: A History of Life on Earth, challenges conventional understandings, revealing music not just as an art form, but as a fundamental force that predates humanity, rewires our brains, and mirrors the very structure of the universe.

Spitzer embarked on his ambitious project in response to Yuval Harariโ€™s Sapiens, which, while mind-blowing, overlooked a crucial element: music. โ€œMusic is at least a million years older than Sapiens,โ€ he asserts, arguing for a โ€œbigger pictureโ€ that transcends typical music histories focused on composers and pieces. Music, in Spitzerโ€™s view, is absolutely universal, even extending beyond humans to the animal kingdom โ€“ birds, whales, and other creatures are inherently musical. The โ€œmusical human,โ€ he concludes, is ultimately a โ€œmusical animal.โ€

The Deep History of Music: Tracing Sounds Through Time

Unraveling the prehistory of music presents unique challenges. Prior to Edisonโ€™s phonograph, no sound records exist, and the organic materials of early instruments biodegrade over time. Yet, Spitzer and other researchers piece together this ancient narrative through ingenious inference, drawing from multiple disciplines.

The earliest surviving musical instruments are โ€œlithic instrumentsโ€ made of rock, such as stalactites or the famous rock gongs in Tanzania. A landmark discovery, however, are the bone flutes, about 40,000 years old, found in South German caves, meticulously crafted from griffin vulture bones. Later, the invention of ceramics allowed for the creation of frame drums with stretched hides, and farming, with its supply of animal guts, led to the first string instruments like harps and lutes. These, too, have largely biodegraded, leaving archaeologists to infer their existence.

The Dawn of Rhythm and Aesthetics

One compelling inferential argument takes us back 1.5 million years to Homo Erectus, an early hominin ancestor. The invention of the โ€œbifacial axeโ€โ€”a stone axe with two symmetrical facesโ€”is key. This capacity for symmetry in a tool suggests two things: an ability to create a beautiful form for aesthetic reasons, and a mental capacity that is โ€œcross-modal.โ€ If Homo Erectus could create visual symmetry, itโ€™s a fair argument they could also create symmetrical sound, what we call meter or regular rhythm, by tapping that axe.

Another pivotal evolutionary step was bipedalism. Around 4 to 4.4 million years ago, early hominins like โ€œArdiโ€ (Ardipithecus ramidus) stood on two legs and walked. This act imprinted the rhythm of walking onto human music, forging crucial links between the brain, muscular exertion, and sound. Early hominins learned to recognize footsteps as patterns, providing a sense of time and predictability. This also gave rise to the enduring human fascination with the metaphor that โ€œmusic moves,โ€ even though itโ€™s simply sounds floating through the air. Music, like a journey, unfolds over time, an echo of our ancestorsโ€™ epic migrations out of Africa.

The Evolving Voice and the Play of Sound

Standing upright triggered a cascade of evolutionary adaptations. Our cranial volume tripled, leading to increased intelligence and greater dexterity in our fingers, essential for crafting and playing flutes. Our larynx descended, and the hyoid bone evolved, allowing for a vastly greater variety of articulated sounds.

This expanded vocal capacity, however, exceeded its immediate functional needs. Unlike vervet monkeys, which have four specific calls for different predators, humans could produce thousands of sounds. This โ€œexcess of soundsโ€ is where music truly began: โ€œwhere youโ€™re playing with sound. Youโ€™re enjoying sound for soundโ€™s sake, no longer having a function.โ€ At this point, human music diverged from mere animal vocalization.

Music as Memory, History, and Ritual

Spitzer emphasizes that music is fundamentally about memory and history. Whether itโ€™s a two-million-year-old teaching their son how to knap a rock (a โ€œcongealed muscle memoryโ€ or โ€œmemeโ€) or the incised lines on bone flutes indicating finger placement, music embodies accumulated knowledge. Across cultures, music serves as a way to explain origins. The Kuli tribe of Papua New Guinea, for instance, believe music comes from the Mooney bird, imitating its calls to participate in the โ€œgreat circle of lifeโ€ and sing back their ancestorsโ€™ songsโ€”a form of โ€œrecorded history.โ€ In the West, a Beethoven symphony like the Eroica similarly โ€œrehearses a memoryโ€ of living under Napoleon.

Early music was deeply intertwined with architecture and ritual. The discovery of flute shards in points of maximum resonance within caves suggests a natural โ€œmarriageโ€ between music, acoustics, and these mysterious, potentially sacred spaces. Caves, being dark and dangerous, were likely reserved for special ceremonies, utilizing their astonishing resonance for flutes, voices, or banging stalactitesโ€”portals to the divine. Around the hearth, a symbol of stability and cyclical rituals (often tied to the hunt), music was a communal activity, with no distinction between singing, physical motion, or dancing.

Beyond Western Notions: The Tangle of Early Music

The Western concept of โ€œmusicโ€ as a singular word encompassing diverse activities is unique. Most cultures have distinct words for song, instrumental sound, dancing, and storytelling with music, all of which were โ€œtangled together into a single ceremonyโ€ in ancient times.

Observing hunter-gatherer societies across diverse environmentsโ€”deserts, savannas, rainforests, polar capsโ€”reveals a shared โ€œcoreโ€ that speaks to something essential. These cultures exhibit a profound entanglement with animals, imitating their calls and dances in songs. Darwin himself noted Australian Aboriginal peoples imitating kiwis and kangaroos. Inuit hunters mimic seal cubs to lure them, while Native Americans imitate buffalo calves. Beyond animals, thereโ€™s an entanglement with the landscape, famously seen in the Aboriginal โ€œsonglines,โ€ where features of the desert are tagged with songs, turning navigation into a musical journey. Music often serves as a โ€œshamanistic spirit journey,โ€ granting โ€œwingsโ€ to fly through cosmic layers to the โ€œdreamland of their ancestors.โ€

Even environmental differences shaped musical function. In the harsh, traceless snowscapes of the Arctic, Inuit developed โ€œwebs of cultureโ€ and mental trails, with music playing a crucial role in โ€œanger or conflict managementโ€ within the confined spaces of igloos. Their songs, full of laughter and jokes, fostered playful sociability to diffuse potential tensions in a life of extreme mutual dependence.

From Nomadism to Notation: The Evolution of Musical Practice

The broad sweep of human evolution moves from nomadic hunter-gatherers to sedentary farming communities, and then to cities. For nomads, music had to be portableโ€”ideally just the voice, or light instruments like flutes or small percussion. Their music was โ€œof the moment,โ€ often playful and avoiding repetition; a โ€œpieceโ€ or โ€œworkโ€ that could be repeated was a modern notion.

With farming and a settled life, mindsets shifted to the โ€œcircle of the seasonsโ€ and the โ€œcircle of life.โ€ Music gained โ€œroots,โ€ composed for every frame of this cycle. The โ€œworkโ€ as a repeatable structure emerged, cyclical like life itself, leading to musical rituals. As music migrated from farm to town, instruments could become heavier (bells, gongs) or more delicate (harps, lutes), reflecting permanent roots. Musicโ€™s function changed too, becoming a โ€œhandmaiden to power,โ€ serving princes or the church. Musicians became professionalized, creating music for the leisure class, giving rise to โ€œconcertsโ€โ€”a purely modern invention. For millions of years, most music was โ€œperformed functionallyโ€ in the fields, on the water (sea shanties), or during tasks like fulling cloth, with the songโ€™s quality reflecting the activity. Crucially, it was participatory, with no distinction between creator and listener.

The invention of writing brought musical notation. The Babylonians and Sumerians had early forms, but the West diverged significantly with โ€œstaff notationโ€โ€”writing music on five linesโ€”invented by Italian monk Guido of Arezzo around 1020 AD. This was a โ€œtool of church control,โ€ ensuring monks across Christendom sang โ€œfrom the same hymn sheet.โ€ This control extended globally, as Cortez brought Spanish polyphony to Mexico in 1519, leading to Aztec musicians performing it in Mexico Cathedral by 1530. Notation became โ€œthe sharp end of the stick of globalization.โ€

The consequences of staff notation were profound and, Spitzer argues, โ€œfrankly bad.โ€ By โ€œpinning notes down to a page,โ€ it froze music, making it โ€œcold and mechanical,โ€ turning it into an โ€œobjectโ€ rather than an activity. This created a division between composer and performer, freezing tradition into a โ€œmuseum of musical works.โ€ This contrasts sharply with traditions like Indian Carnatic or Hindustani music, where an organic, evolving oral tradition allows disciples to โ€œcreatively improvise around the idea of the workโ€ rather than mechanically reproduce it.

The Universality of Music: Echoes in the Cosmos

One of the most surprising insights is musicโ€™s โ€œfractal nature.โ€ Just as a galaxy might resemble a brain cell, the universe exhibits self-similarity at different scales, and so does music. โ€œMusic is the art of repetition,โ€ Spitzer notes, with notes in a bar, bars in a phrase, phrases in a section, and so on, ad infinitum. This capacity stems from the fractal nature of sound itself; waveforms exhibit self-similarity no matter how much they are magnified, much like a coastline or a cloud. This makes music โ€œperfectly natural,โ€ aligning its structure with the โ€œnoise of natureโ€โ€”wind, ripples of water. This fractal theory offers a more compelling connection between music and the cosmos than older myths of the โ€œharmony of the spheres.โ€

Humans: The Great Synthesizers

Ironically, when viewed through a wide lens, humans are โ€œnot very musical at allโ€ compared to birds and whales. Apes, our evolutionary ancestors, lack vocal learning (the ability to creatively learn new songs) and a sense of rhythm, unlike insects and some birds. Humans, however, are the โ€œgreat synthesizers,โ€ combining the rhythms of insects, the melodies of birds, and the gesturality of apes, all while reflecting the fractal structure of the cosmos. Our unique contribution lies in โ€œthe very human drives of emotions and indeed the finite quality of human life.โ€ Without human emotions and the finitude of our lifespan, it wouldnโ€™t be โ€œmusicโ€ as we know it.

This leads to a fascinating thought experiment: the Voyager Golden Record, sent into space 40 years ago with diverse human music. If aliens were to discover it, would they find a common denominator? Spitzer believes they would observe that โ€œsapiens are flatlanders,โ€ inhabiting a narrow perceptual band, unable to hear as low as whales or as high as bats, and with songs less extensive. They would likely recognize commonalities with animal music, particularly the hierarchical, repetitive structures. But a key distinction would be the โ€œwalking meterโ€ reflecting our bipedal motion, contrasting with the fluid rhythms of whales or the jerky movements of birds. Each speciesโ€™ music, then, โ€œreflects the kind of motion that their bodies pursue in their environments.โ€

The Music Instinct: Universal Roots, Cultural Branches

While every culture has different scales and harmonies, there is a โ€œmusic instinctโ€โ€”an innate capacity to recognize and beat in time to rhythm, and to recall melody. This universality, however, is quickly shaped by culture. The rhythms babies are bounced in, or the melodies they hear, will influence their preferences.

This innate capacity is rooted in the layered structure of the human brain. The deeper one dives, the more universal musicโ€™s propensity and emotional impact become. The brain stem flinches to shocks, the basal ganglia (reptilian brain) responds to pleasure/displeasure, the amygdala (mammalian brain) processes basic emotions, and the neocortex (most modern layer) processes complex patterns. Music engages all these layers.

Music on the Global Stage: Exchange and Adaptation

Everywhere Sapiens travels, music follows. From Cortez bringing Spanish counterpoint to Mexico, to English Puritan hymn tunes in North America, to Christian hymns shaping African national anthems, music has always been a vehicle of cultural exchange. The Silk Road saw instruments like lutes and violins, and melodies, travel across continents, changing names and forms. African dances like the Chaconne and Sarabande influenced even Bachโ€™s Baroque compositions.

Once music is โ€œenculturatedโ€ by another people, it becomes naturalized. Aztec counterpoint becomes โ€œIndianized.โ€ Japanโ€™s embrace of Beethovenโ€™s Ninth Symphony, performed annually on New Yearโ€™s Eve, leads to the astonishing notion that โ€œBeethoven is a Japanese composer.โ€ His music, resonating with Japanese sensibility for etiquette and tradition, expresses โ€œsocial togetherness and an extinction of the egoโ€โ€”a โ€œmuch more Zen qualityโ€ than its individualistic interpretation in the West.

East vs. West: Nature and the โ€œUnnaturalโ€ Approach

A major difference Spitzer highlights is the Western โ€œproblem with natureโ€ in sound. The West conceptually distinguishes musical notes from natural sounds like wind or trees, often exiling bells to church towers because their complex acoustic partials couldnโ€™t be captured arithmetically. This contrasts sharply with the East. Confucius, often depicted playing the zither (qin) under an apricot tree, embodied a tradition where the instrumentโ€™s delicate sounds โ€œmelded into the sounds of the wind and the bamboo and the grass and the water.โ€ There was โ€œno distinction between music and nature.โ€ The 2,000-year-old bronze bells of the Marquis Yi of Zeng, discovered in 1978, demonstrate an acoustic science โ€œinfinitely superior to Western acoustics,โ€ reflecting a profound sensibility for natural sound that permeates Chinese and Japanese music.

Western music, once one of many civilizations, and often โ€œon the back footโ€ compared to advanced cultures in China, India, and the Middle East, ultimately achieved global dominance through notation. Yet, the tide is turning. โ€œThe West is being colonized by two tidal waves,โ€ Spitzer observes: African music (jazz, rock) becoming a lingua franca, and K-pop (BTS) re-educating the West about sound. The traditional Western misconception of music as a history of โ€œworksโ€ and โ€œcomposers,โ€ reducing it to an โ€œobjectโ€ in a museum, is giving way. โ€œYou need to take music away from the musicians and give it back to the people,โ€ Spitzer asserts, challenging the idea of composers as divine geniuses whose scores must be mechanically reproduced.

Your Brain on Music: Rewiring and Resonance

What makes human music so distinctive is the direct link between sound and motion in our brains, connecting motor regions with the auditory cortexโ€”a link largely absent in birds (except perhaps sulphur-crested cockatoos). This ancient connection means that if you rock a baby to a rhythm, theyโ€™ll grow to like it.

Our brains also possess โ€œmirror neurons,โ€ which allow us to instinctively imitate actions and experience emotions sympathetically. Seeing someone yawn makes us yawn; hearing a sad song triggers a mirroring of that sadness. This โ€œemotional contagionโ€ is evident even in infants who, without prompting, instinctively jump to rhythmic music.

The Chills, the Sublime, and Survival

Music can evoke powerful, almost extreme reactions known as โ€œthe chillsโ€ or โ€œthe sublime.โ€ These moments, often triggered by sudden loudness or intensity, engage the same brain parts that respond to fear, causing goosebumps. Yet, we enjoy this fear. Spitzer defines musical aesthetics as โ€œtaking the danger out of extreme experience,โ€ akin to enjoying a rollercoaster or a volcanic eruption from a safe distance. Music, in this sense, is โ€œviolence without the danger or the natural sublime without the danger.โ€

Darwin noted that emotions have an adaptive role in survival. Happiness signals goal achievement, anger signals blockage, sadness indicates loss, and fear triggers freeze, fight, or flight responses to threats. Music, made of patterns that can be allowed to run their course or be frustrated by โ€œshocksโ€ (a bang, an interruption), engages these same primal faculties. While no one dies in music, it taps into these deep-seated survival mechanisms, which is why it can express emotion in such a visceral way. Listening to music, Spitzer explains, is a form of โ€œmental time travel,โ€ engaging layers of the brain, making it โ€œa sort of umbilical cord back to mother nature.โ€

Rewiring the Brain and Enhancing Life

Perhaps the most astonishing fact is that musical training literally โ€œrewires the brain.โ€ While most people are right-brained, trained musicians become left-brained, processing music through the same temporal lobe that handles languageโ€”a testament to musicโ€™s complexity. Learning an instrument imparts discipline, practice habits, teamwork, attention, and focusโ€”all highly transferable skills.

Spitzer argues that viewing music purely as relaxation or entertainment does it a โ€œmassive disservice.โ€ Music is a powerful tool for mental health:

  • Social Connection: It brings people together and plugs individuals into social networks, combating loneliness.
  • Stress Reduction: It lowers cortisol levels.
  • Pleasure: It floods the brain with dopamine, making us happy.
  • Memory: Itโ€™s an excellent way to tag and recall memories.
  • Emotional Expression: It allows for the expression of deep emotions and identity that language cannot capture, precisely because โ€œmusic is far too precise for words.โ€
  • Mindfulness: It fosters contemplation and active listening, far from passive relaxation.

However, music can also be harmful. It can be militarized (e.g., torture tactics), and any disliked sound can increase stress. Clinical prescription requires extreme caution: repetitive Baroque music might not suit Alzheimerโ€™s patients, and certain conditions respond better to softer or more varied music. Doctors need education on how to prescribe music effectively.

The Future of Music: Integration, Customization, and New Dimensions

With the internetโ€™s ubiquity, is there a danger of music becoming a โ€œgray homogeneous objectโ€? Spitzer dismisses this fear. Artists inherently strive for distinctiveness, always turning โ€œtheir back on fashion to create something new.โ€ Moreover, with thousands of genres and subgenres, music remains an extraordinary tool for expressing human identity. โ€œAs long as people have an identity and are different, they will create music to reflect their personality.โ€

While we are โ€œdrowning in musicโ€ today, compared to Beethovenโ€™s time when hearing a symphony twice in a lifetime was rare, Spitzer remains optimistic about its future, given its million-year history. He forecasts two main developments:

  1. Increased Instrumentalization and Functionality: Music will become ever more functional, bespoke, and even โ€œprescribed.โ€ He envisions a future where specific sounds could be injected to treat conditions like depression or emotional disorders.
  2. Greater Integration with Technology: The internet has already accelerated a cultural shift, โ€œtaking music away from musicians and giving it to normal people.โ€ Digital platforms allow us to create and share music from home, โ€œregaining the participatory condition of music which was the norm thousands of years ago.โ€ This symbiotic relationship, exemplified by K-popโ€™s evolution through consumer-digital interaction, will deepen. Spitzer reminds us that technology isnโ€™t sinister; instruments, from the bone flute to computer programs like Watson Beat, are tools that extend human capacity and imagination. The human role remains crucial: to make decisions, edit, select, and shape the possibilities technology offers.

Finally, Spitzer offers a bold prediction: the future of music โ€œmay not be just about sound.โ€ It may involve tastes, colors, our bodies, and frequencies beyond our current narrow hearing spectrum. We will learn to amplify and extend our auditory range. Just as Stockhausen or Beyoncรฉโ€™s achievements would have been incomprehensible centuries ago, we canโ€™t even begin to imagine the possibilities awaiting us in musicโ€™s evolving journey.

Michael Spitzerโ€™s work provides a monumental re-evaluation of music, positioning it not as a mere cultural artifact, but as a primal, evolving force deeply woven into the fabric of life, consciousness, and the cosmos itself. It is a reminder that the melodies and rhythms that move us are echoes of an ancient past, shaping our present, and resonating into an unimaginable future.


Based on โ€œNever write an update again: Notionโ€™s AI-powered engineering meetings | Ryan Nystromโ€ from How I AI Watch the original video

The AI Engineerโ€™s Playbook: How Notion is Redefining Software Development and Team Management

In the fast-evolving world of software engineering, the promise of increased productivity often comes with the unspoken cost of burnout, tedious overhead, and a relentless pace. But what if you could not only work faster but also have more fun, reduce toil, and foster deeper collaboration? Ryan Nystrom, an engineering manager at Notion, is at the forefront of this revolution, leveraging Notion AI and other advanced tools to transform everything from daily standups to core code development. His insights, shared on the โ€œHow I AIโ€ podcast with Claire Vo, paint a vivid picture of a future where engineering teams can truly achieve a โ€œwin-win-win.โ€

โ€œItโ€™s weird to have this like win-win-win,โ€ Nystrom muses, reflecting on the profound changes heโ€™s experienced in the last year. After two decades in software, heโ€™s seen his IDEs, terminals, and tools change more in the past year than in the preceding twelve. This constant flux, while initially unsettling, has brought a renewed sense of joy and freshness to his work. Heโ€™s working faster and harder, yet feels more energized than ever. This isnโ€™t just about efficiency; itโ€™s about reclaiming the creative impulse in engineering.

The End of Tedious Standups: AI-Powered Meetings

One of the most immediate and impactful shifts Nystrom has implemented is the complete overhaul of daily standup meetings. The traditional model โ€“ engineers going around the room with โ€œdead eyes,โ€ delivering rote updates like โ€œI did this, I shipped that, no updates for meโ€ โ€“ is, in his words, โ€œpainful and a huge waste of time.โ€ The goal, he believes, should be to โ€œget to the meatโ€ of the discussion, focusing on problems, decisions, wins, and future work, rather than mundane status reports.

His solution: a Notion AI custom agent that automates the entire meeting preparation process. Every day at 9 AM, a blank meeting template is generated. Immediately afterward, Nystromโ€™s โ€œHot Potatoโ€ agent springs into action. This custom agent, which he affectionately describes as part of a project with a โ€œpotato themeโ€ (because CI is often a cobbled-together mess that theyโ€™re turning into a rocket ship), scans a wealth of information from the past 24 hours:

  • Slack conversations in the project channel for updates, feedback, and questions.
  • Tasks closed in Notion.
  • Merged pull requests.
  • Yesterdayโ€™s meeting transcript for context.
  • Telemetry data from Honeycomb for key metrics like CI time.

The agent compiles all this into a detailed โ€œpre-readโ€ document, complete with metrics, decisions, progress updates, bugs, feedback, and open questions. โ€œI can basically work up until like the minute of our meeting without having done a bunch of like prep,โ€ Nystrom explains. This means managers can spend their time on hands-on coding or strategic thinking, rather than compiling reports.

The impact on meetings is transformative. Instead of passive updates, the team looks at the AI-generated agenda and dives straight into meaningful discussions. โ€œEverybody in that room has ideas, they have insight, but because weโ€™ve made it like so non-productive and like not engaging that like weโ€™re not weโ€™re just like we need the point of the meeting is to like exchange ideas and information and if weโ€™re like not doing that, like literally whatโ€™s the point?โ€ Nystrom says. The AI-powered pre-read democratizes information sharing, ensuring that even quieter engineersโ€™ contributions are highlighted. Claire Vo aptly notes the parallel with her own introversion, where AI acts as a proxy to overcome communication anxiety, equalizing the playing field for information extraction.

This automation, while not โ€œworld-changingโ€ in terms of raw hours saved, is critical. โ€œItโ€™s like 20 minutes a day,โ€ Nystrom clarifies, โ€œand thatโ€™s like 20 minutes I can spend doing other stuff. And that like itโ€™s not even just about like saving that 20 minutes, but itโ€™s like protecting my brain from like having to context shift about all this stuff and like ingest it.โ€ Itโ€™s about reducing cognitive load and protecting against burnout, allowing managers to focus on creative problem-solving and engaging with their teams. As Vo puts it, โ€œYour AI, your agent is never going to complain when you ask it to do this five minutes before the meeting starts.โ€

Building this agent involved clear instructions: define its purpose, specify the 24-hour lookback window, use Notion AIโ€™s โ€œsub-agentsโ€ (a powerful but sometimes finicky feature), and provide a strict template for the output format. Nystrom even used the agent to help configure itself, feeding it a screenshot of a Honeycomb query and asking it to update its instructions. This iterative, natural-language approach makes customizing workflows incredibly flexible, allowing for rapid adjustments without complex code.

Coding on Autopilot: Background Agents and Instant Fixes

Beyond meeting management, AI is fundamentally changing how Nystromโ€™s team writes code. Heโ€™s a devoted โ€œCodeex stand,โ€ referring to the coding agent that has become a daily driver. The previous workflow involved writing detailed prompts in Notion pages, then manually copying and pasting them into a terminal. While functional, it was clunky.

Notionโ€™s internal โ€œBoxyโ€ project (or โ€œSoftware Factoryโ€) streamlines this. Boxy consists of virtual machines running Codeex and Cloud Code, which can be invoked directly from Notion tasks. Nystrom recounts a recent example: โ€œA friend of mine, whoโ€™s a Notion fan, text me. Heโ€™s like, โ€˜Hey, I like the tab block that you builtโ€ฆ But I really wish I could just like copy link to a tab and then like send it to somebody.โ€™โ€

Nystrom opened a task in Notion, took some notes, dropped in a screenshot of the desired UI, and outlined edge cases like refreshing a URL that links directly to a tab. With just a few sentences and an image, he mentioned @codeex in the comments, triggering Boxy. Within minutes, Codeex got to work. In about 10 minutes, it replied with a pull request link and a preview URL.

The PR itself was remarkable: Codeex had built the entire feature, including tests, and even uploaded screenshots of its own UI verification. When Nystrom found a CI failure and replied with โ€œI donโ€™t get it,โ€ Codeex promptly explained its reasoning and fixed the type errors. This interaction highlights a new dynamic in code review: direct, unvarnished feedback to an AI that never complains and always iterates. Nystrom often finds himself using prompts like, โ€œI literally donโ€™t know what Iโ€™m doing here. You need to explain this to me like Iโ€™m a 5-year-old,โ€ especially when tackling unfamiliar CI challenges.

This approach underscores a critical trend for large engineering organizations: the necessity of a robust VM strategy and background agents. These systems allow engineers to offload environment setup and heavy computation, kicking off tasks and letting the agents โ€œgrind for hoursโ€ in the background, freeing up human developers for more creative or strategic work. As Nystrom notes, โ€œIโ€™m not the person that is like sitting with the browser open and like some agent next to it and like iterate look at the browser iterate look at the browser. Iโ€™m like the more the closer I can get to oneshotting solutions the better.โ€

Spec-Driven Development: The Future of Software Architecture

Perhaps the most profound shift Nystrom describes is the move towards โ€œspec-driven development.โ€ Recognizing โ€œtool and instruction fatigueโ€ and bloated system prompts, Notion rebuilt its agent harness. The key insight was to start with natural language specifications, not code.

Their codebase now includes an agent_specs subfolder, filled with markdown documents. Nystrom shared his process for building a new AI feature: โ€œI didnโ€™t start with writing code. I didnโ€™t start with anything. I just started with an empty markdown document.โ€ He then used Whisper to โ€œyap about how this feature should work,โ€ essentially a free-form voice recording. This โ€œyap sessionโ€ was fed to Codeex with instructions to โ€œlearn the format, take my information, write a spec.โ€

After a few revisions, Nystrom had a comprehensive markdown document. Then came the magic: he pointed Codeex at the spec file and commanded, โ€œBuild it.โ€ Codeex โ€œone-shottedโ€ the implementation because the spec was so thorough, including code pointers and detailed verification instructions. Notion has even built CLI tools to allow Codeex to run Notion AI itself, send queries, and verify outcomes based on the spec.

โ€œI kind of think that this is like the future of software engineering,โ€ Nystrom states. The spec, written in plain English (albeit with technical detail), becomes the source of truth, version-controlled alongside the code. When updates are needed, engineers modify the spec, not necessarily the underlying code. This not only simplifies maintenance but also makes the featureโ€™s logic accessible to non-engineers, like marketing teams, who can translate it into external communications.

This evolution redefines the engineerโ€™s role. โ€œI view our job as like engineers evolving into like systems thinkers and architects and not and not even just necessarily writing like the spec and thinking about the behaviors but most importantly is like the verification loop,โ€ Nystrom explains. The focus shifts from plumbing code to designing robust systems and ensuring their correctness through automated verification. This isnโ€™t adding work; itโ€™s re-emphasizing the architectural and design phases that were always part of good engineering, but now with the power to automate the implementation. The endless meetings debating theoretical implementations are replaced by a rapid cycle of spec, build, and live verification.

The Developer Experience Revolution: Why CI Speed Matters More Than Ever

Underpinning all these advancements is a relentless focus on developer experience (DevX) and CI speed. Nystromโ€™s โ€œAfterburnerโ€ project at Notion aims to cut CI times by a quarter, a goal driven by his past experiences with both slow and fast CI environments. โ€œThe faster your CI completes, the faster you get signal,โ€ he asserts, โ€œthe more comfortable your engineers will feel with like making changes and doing things because they know like I can make a change and get it pushed into dev or into production really quick.โ€

This velocity, combined with AI, creates a powerful feedback loop. Rapid CI provides quick validation for AI-generated code, enabling faster iteration and higher confidence. Itโ€™s a symbiotic relationship where AI accelerates development, and a strong DevX ensures AI outputs are integrated and validated efficiently. Claire Vo highlights this as the โ€œera of the hard skill,โ€ where the ability to write code, build automations, and understand models is paramount, even for engineering leaders. Nystrom wholeheartedly agrees, advocating for line managers, directors, and even CTOs to โ€œwrite some codeโ€ and stay close to the product.

The Whole Triangle: Joy, Speed, and Quality

Ryan Nystromโ€™s journey at Notion exemplifies how AI is not merely a tool for incremental improvements but a catalyst for fundamental change. By automating meeting preparation, offloading coding tasks to background agents, and adopting spec-driven development, his team is achieving what once seemed impossible: the โ€œwhole triangleโ€ of speed, quality, and joy in software engineering.

The era of mind-numbing status updates, manual code reviews, and endless debates is giving way to one where engineers can dedicate their intellect to higher-order problems, empowered by AI to handle the toil. This transformation allows managers to be leaders and builders, not just administrators, fostering an environment where creativity thrives, and the work itself becomes a source of genuine excitement. As Nystrom and Vo enthusiastically declared, stamping it for the YouTube thumbnail: โ€œGive me the whole triangle!โ€

The AI Divide: Why Chinaโ€™s Practical Approach Might Be Winning the Future

In the relentless global race for artificial intelligence dominance, a crucial question looms: Is China outpacing the United States? The answer, as leading China reporter Vivian Wong explains, is far from straightforward. Instead of a single finish line, the two superpowers are running fundamentally different races, each with distinct goals, metrics of success, and profound implications for the future of technology.

While Silicon Valley often chases the elusive dream of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)โ€”a superhuman intelligence capable of performing any intellectual task a human canโ€”China has chosen a more grounded, pervasive path. Its strategy from the outset has been to integrate AI into the fabric of everyday life and the entire economy, focusing on tangible, real-world applications that solve immediate problems.

Chinaโ€™s Chosen Path: AI in Every Hand

Walk the streets of a major Chinese city, and youโ€™ll encounter AI in myriad forms: driverless cars navigating traffic, robots serving in restaurants or patrolling public spaces, and sophisticated automation in factories. But the integration goes even deeper, touching personal lives in unexpected ways. Wong recounts a striking anecdote of a mother who purchased an AI-powered โ€œtranslation maskโ€โ€”resembling Baneโ€™s mask from Batmanโ€”to help her children practice English. The mother would speak Chinese into the mask, and it would output her voice speaking English, allowing for seamless, immersive language practice at home.

This widespread adoption is fueled by a public enthusiasm that sharply contrasts with the โ€œdoomerโ€ conversations often heard in the West. In China, the fear of AI taking jobs or spiraling out of control is largely muted. People are excited about AI because they see it tangibly improving their lives.

This pragmatic approach is not just about convenience; itโ€™s a strategic response to deep structural issues facing China. With a rapidly aging population and workforce, and a declining birth rate, AI offers a potential solution to maintain economic efficiency through factory automation. Similarly, to address huge inequities in healthcare access between rural and urban areas, AI-powered doctors are envisioned as a way to bridge the gap. From the Chinese governmentโ€™s perspective, AI is not merely a technological advancement but the latest iteration of technology that will power its global ascent and solve its most pressing domestic challenges.

The Governmentโ€™s Vision: From Directive to Dominance

The story of Chinaโ€™s AI ambition formally began in 2014, early in Xi Jinpingโ€™s tenure. During a speech to top engineers and scientists, Xi highlighted a report suggesting โ€œintelligent robotsโ€ would be a major force. He declared Chinaโ€™s intent to become the number one maker of intelligent robots and to dominate future technologies. This vision crystallized into the โ€œNew Generation AI Development Planโ€ in 2017, Chinaโ€™s first national roadmap for AI, setting a goal to be a leading AI power by 2030, specifically through real-world applications.

Such a top-down directive in China triggers a cascade of action. Provincial and local governments compete to demonstrate compliance, pouring resources into industrial parks, offering tax breaks and cheap rent to AI companies, and attracting top talent with generous funding. This โ€œall-in national effortโ€ quickly yielded results. For several years, China felt it had a definitive lead in AI, particularly in technologies like facial and voice recognition, which also proved invaluable for its extensive surveillance apparatus.

The ChatGPT Moment and a Shifting Landscape

However, the landscape dramatically shifted in 2022 with the emergence of ChatGPT. This generative AI technology, capable of producing human-like text and engaging in complex conversations, caught Chinese policymakers and tech companies off guard. It presented a new, unforeseen challenge.

Generative AI, which learns from vast swaths of internet information and produces often unpredictable outputs, immediately raised alarm bells for the Chinese government. Such technology threatened their stringent information controls and censorship regime. The prospect of Chinese citizens using chatbots to query politically sensitive events or information about top leaders was a direct challenge to their political model.

The reaction was swift: ChatGPT was banned, and new regulations were imposed on Chinese generative AI companies. A key rule stipulated that any model capable of โ€œmobilizing societyโ€ had to pass rigorous government checks and clearances before public release. While Western safety testing focuses on preventing self-harm or hate speech, Chinaโ€™s includes an additional, critical layer: ensuring no answers are provided about politically sensitive topics like the Tiananmen Square massacre or critical discussions of its leaders.

This reveals a deep tension for Beijing: the desire to dominate cutting-edge AI, including generative models, clashes with its authoritarian need to control informationโ€”the very fuel for these modelsโ€™ success. Itโ€™s a microcosm of Chinaโ€™s broader economic dilemma: openness is vital for flourishing, but only on the governmentโ€™s terms.

DeepSeek: Chinaโ€™s Sputnik Moment

Despite these controls, early 2025 saw a groundbreaking development: DeepSeek. This chatbot, created by a previously unknown Chinese startup, performed comparably to leading US models, but at a fraction of the cost. Crucially, it was open source, a move that sent shockwaves through the global AI community.

Mark Andre, a prominent venture capitalist, aptly described DeepSeekโ€™s emergence as the โ€œSputnik momentโ€ for the AI race. It was a stark signal that Chinese AI could indeed compete with Silicon Valley at the highest level. For China, it was a moment of immense national pride. Xi Jinping himself convened a meeting of business leaders, including DeepSeekโ€™s young founder, signaling a new, slightly more accommodating approach: โ€œGo out and show your talents and serve the country.โ€

This marked a strategic pivot: the government aimed to โ€œcontrol what AI says but unleash what it does.โ€ AI products dealing with information that could influence public thought would remain under tight scrutiny. However, those focused on robotics or other applications not directly handling information would face fewer restrictions. This nuanced strategy has spurred a boom in Chinaโ€™s AI scene, with a surge of new models and startups, further diffusing AI into the economy. The governmentโ€™s unwavering commitment was underscored this past March when its latest five-year plan mentioned AI over 50 times, clearly staking the nationโ€™s economic future on AI dominance.

Chinaโ€™s Hurdles: The Million-Dollar Question

Despite its strategic advantages and rapid progress, China faces significant handicaps. The imperfect environment for innovation, less powerful chips, and a persistent talent drain represent major challenges.

While the governmentโ€™s restrictions on generative AI have not, according to experts, meaningfully hampered the core performance of models like DeepSeek (as other countries also have โ€œred lines,โ€ albeit different ones), the broader political environment creates a chilling effect. The constant uncertainty of where the governmentโ€™s red lines lie, or when new ones might emerge, weighs heavily on the private sector.

A recent case involving the successful Chinese AI startup Manis vividly illustrates this. After moving to Singapore, Manis was slated for a $2 billion acquisition by Meta. However, the Chinese government launched an investigation and ultimately blocked the deal. Adding to the chilling effect, Manisโ€™s founders were reportedly prevented from leaving China after a visit. This direct government intervention actively curtails the ideal environment for innovation, which thrives on openness and freedom.

This brings to light a long-standing observation: China excels at the โ€œone to tenโ€ of scientific researchโ€”taking a discovery and applying it widely and practically. But it struggles with the โ€œzero to oneโ€โ€”the initial breakthrough discovery that often requires unfettered experimentation. You simply cannot force innovation through a top-down strategy.

Beyond this, China faces two other critical disadvantages:

  1. Chips: Chinese AI companies remain heavily reliant on powerful American-made chips, particularly from Nvidia, to train their most advanced models. Despite hundreds of billions invested, China has yet to develop domestic chips that can compete.
  2. Talent: While China produces a vast number of highly talented AI researchers, many opt to pursue opportunities in the United States, drawn by the more open and innovative environment. This brain drain is openly acknowledged by Chinese policymakers as a significant problem.

Whoโ€™s Winning? A Tale of Two Futures

So, returning to the initial question: Is China winning the global AI race?

If the ultimate destination is AGIโ€”a superhuman intelligence capable of running the worldโ€”then American companies in Silicon Valley are likely closer to that cutting edge, though China is only a few months behind by most expert estimates.

However, if AGI proves to be an unattainable or undesirable goal, and the real victory lies in using AI to tangibly improve daily life now, then China arguably has the edge. Its widespread deployment of AI in everything from transportation to education to manufacturing is constantly generating new data, a critical resource that further refines and improves its models, solving a growing problem of training data scarcity.

Ultimately, the future of AI is still full of unknowns. What it truly means to โ€œdominateโ€ AI, or which path is โ€œright,โ€ remains an open question.

Lessons for the US: The Power of Pragmatism

Chinaโ€™s approach offers an interesting lesson for US companies. The American focus on ambitious, superhuman AI, while quintessentially innovative, has inadvertently fueled significant public hesitation and even backlash, creating political challenges for AI developers.

In China, the publicโ€™s tangible experience of AI improving their livesโ€”smoother commutes, faster food delivery, cheaper productsโ€”fosters a positive sentiment. While conversations about job displacement are slowly emerging, they are less prominent than in the US. Paradoxically, the Chinese governmentโ€™s tight control, while stifling in some ways, also instills a degree of public trust that AI will not spiral out of control and destabilize society.

In the US, the โ€œfreewheeling environmentโ€ that enables rapid innovation also paradoxically cultivates public fear. This grassroots backlash could become a significant impediment to AI development in America, a headwind that China, with its controlled yet pragmatic approach, may not face to the same degree. The AI race, it seems, is less about who crosses a single finish line first, and more about whose chosen path aligns best with the future that humanity ultimately desires.


Based on โ€œCould a TRILLION Monkeys Write Shakespeare Before the Universe Ends?โ€ from Up and Atom Watch the original video

The Cosmic Typewriter: Unlocking Shakespeare with Infinite Monkeys

The image is iconic: a lone monkey, perched at a typewriter, haphazardly striking keys. The question, a cornerstone of popular thought experiments, immediately follows: Could this primate, given enough time and pure randomness, eventually churn out the complete works of William Shakespeare? This isnโ€™t just a whimsical fantasy; itโ€™s the โ€œinfinite monkey theorem,โ€ a profound dive into the nature of probability, randomness, and the truly colossal scales of time and chance.

Youโ€™ve likely encountered a variation of this idea before, perhaps a cartoonish depiction of a frustrated ape grappling with literary genius: โ€œIt was the best of times. It was the blurst of times. YOU STUPID MONKEY!โ€ or a more philosophical musing on โ€œa rose by any other name.โ€ But what happens when we move beyond the cartoon and confront the cold, hard math?

When Reality Bites: The Real Monkey Experiment

Before we delve into the theoretical, itโ€™s worth noting that someone actually tried this. In 2002, a group of students from Plymouth University equipped six Sulawesi crested macaques at the Paignton Zoo in the UK with a keyboard and computer. After nearly two months of โ€œliteraryโ€ effort, their masterpiece was, unsurprisingly, far from Shakespearean. The output mostly consisted of the letter โ€˜Sโ€™, interspersed with a few โ€˜Qโ€™s and โ€˜Gโ€™s. Not a single English word emerged. More tellingly, one monkey resorted to hitting the keyboard with a rock, while others found the computer a convenient new toilet. Some became fixated on specific keys, pressing them repeatedly. Their โ€œworkโ€ was published as a book, a testament to the chaotic reality of random monkey-typing.

The real-life experimentโ€™s humorous failure highlights a crucial point: the infinite monkey thought experiment isnโ€™t about literal monkeys. Itโ€™s a playful metaphor for pure randomness. The core question is: Can a truly random process, given enough opportunity, produce something as complex and brilliant as Shakespeareโ€™s plays? Intuitively, it seems far-fetched. Surely, genius requires more than mere chance. But if every key has a chance of being pressed, then every word, every sentence, and every complete work of literature theoretically has a chance of being written. The real question is, how much of a chance?

The Astronomical Odds: From โ€œHelloโ€ to โ€œHamletโ€

To answer this, we must first set up the rules of our theoretical monkeyโ€™s keyboard. We assume our monkey presses keys entirely at random, with each key having an equal probability of being selected, independent of previous presses. Letโ€™s restrict our keyboard to 26 English letters, 10 digits, and a few common grammatical symbols like commas, periods, question marks, and a space. This gives us a total of 44 unique keys. Therefore, the probability of pressing any single key is 1 in 44.

Now, letโ€™s calculate the probability of a simple five-letter sequence: โ€œhello.โ€ Each letter has a 1 in 44 chance. Since each press is independent, the probability of typing โ€œhelloโ€ is (1/44) * (1/44) * (1/44) * (1/44) * (1/44), or 1/44 raised to the power of 5. This works out to approximately a 1 in 165 million chance.

To put that into perspective, imagine randomly dropping a pin on the entire continent of Australia and having it land precisely on the Sydney Opera House. Thatโ€™s roughly the level of unlikelihood for just five letters. If our monkey types at a reasonable speed of one letter per second, it would take, on average, over 26 years to produce the word โ€œhelloโ€ just once.

The numbers escalate dramatically from here. A short sentence of about 50 characters would take approximately 10 to the power of 76 years. To grasp this scale, consider that the current age of the universe is a mere 1.38 x 10^10 years. So, to type a single short sentence, you could replay the entire history of the universe billions of billions of times over, and still not be close.

For a paragraph of around 1,000 characters, the waiting time stretches to an unfathomable 10 to the power of 1,638 years. For context, the estimated โ€œheat deathโ€ of the universe โ€“ when all energy disperses, and everything becomes a cold, dark void โ€“ is predicted to occur around 10 to the power of 100 years. Our monkey would still be nowhere near completing a paragraph even if the universe died and was reborn countless times over.

And for the full play of Hamlet, which Wikipedia estimates at around 200,000 characters, the time required is approximately 10 to the power of 328,688 years. This number is so colossal it defies human comprehension. Trillions of trillions of heat deaths of the universe would only amount to roughly 10 to the power of 124 years โ€“ a number still astronomically smaller than the time needed for Hamlet. In any realistic, finite timeframe, the answer is a resounding no. A single monkey will not type Shakespeare.

Even an Army of Monkeys Wonโ€™t Cut It

Perhaps the problem isnโ€™t the monkey, but the number of monkeys. What if we had one monkey for every single atom in the observable universe? Thatโ€™s about 10 to the power of 80 monkeys. If this cosmic choir of primates typed continuously until the heat death of the universe, could they produce Hamlet?

Even with this astronomical number of monkeys and an equally vast stretch of time, they would barely make a dent. To have a reasonable shot at producing Hamlet, they would need to type around 10 to the power of 328,695 letters. But in the available cosmic timeframe, they could only produce about 10 to the power of 187 letters โ€“ a number hundreds of thousands of orders of magnitude smaller than whatโ€™s needed. So, no, even an army of universal proportions wonโ€™t be churning out Shakespeare anytime soon.

The Infinite Time Paradox: When Probability Breaks Free

Hereโ€™s where the thought experiment truly becomes fascinating: What if time never ends? If we allow for infinite time, the rules of probability behave very differently. You might intuitively guess that given forever, the monkey is bound to type Hamlet at some point. The probability is tiny, but with infinite chances, it must happen.

But hereโ€™s the real mathematical twist: Does the monkey produce a finite amount of Hamlets, or an infinite amount? On one hand, typing Hamlet is unbelievably unlikely, so it might only happen a limited number of times. On the other hand, with eternity at its disposal, perhaps it happens over and over again.

To understand this, letโ€™s use a strange game of darts, as illustrated by the โ€œUp and Atomโ€ channel.

Scenario 1: Finite Hits Imagine throwing darts at a dartboard that shrinks after each throw. It starts at 1 square meter. After the first throw, itโ€™s halved (0.5 mยฒ). After the second, itโ€™s halved again (0.25 mยฒ), and so on. The probability of hitting the board is equal to its area. So, the probabilities are 1/2, 1/4, 1/8, etc. If you sum these probabilities (1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + โ€ฆ), they add up to 1. This is a finite sum. A beautiful mathematical result, the First Borel-Cantelli Lemma, states that if the sum of probabilities of independent events is finite (or converges), then with probability one, the event will only occur a finite number of times. So, in this dart game, youโ€™d only hit the board a finite number of times.

Scenario 2: Infinite Hits Now, letโ€™s change the dartboardโ€™s shrinking pattern. After the first throw, itโ€™s 1/2 its original area. After the second, 1/3. After the third, 1/4, and so on. The probabilities are 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5โ€ฆ If you sum these probabilities (1/2 + 1/3 + 1/4 + โ€ฆ), they keep growing forever; the sum diverges to infinity. The Second Borel-Cantelli Lemma states that for independent events, if the sum of their probabilities diverges, then with probability one, the event will occur an infinite number of times. So, in this scenario, youโ€™d hit the board infinitely many times.

So, the crucial idea is this: if probabilities shrink fast enough that their sum remains finite, the event happens a finite number of times. If they donโ€™t shrink fast enough, and their sum grows infinitely, the event happens infinitely many times.

What does this mean for our monkey and Hamlet? Each attempt to type Hamlet is like a dart throw. The probability of success (1/44 to the power of 200,000) is incredibly tiny, but itโ€™s a constant probability for each independent attempt. If you sum a constant number, no matter how small, an infinite number of times, the sum will always diverge to infinity.

Therefore, given infinite time, our monkey will almost surely type out Hamlet not just once, not twice, but an infinite number of times.

The Infinite Library

The implications extend far beyond Shakespeare. Hamlet is just one specific sequence of characters. The same reasoning applies to any sequence of characters. This means that given infinite time, our random-typing monkey will eventually produce:

  • Every poem ever written.
  • Every novel humanity has ever conceived.
  • Every scientific breakthrough yet to be discovered.
  • Every book that has never been, and never will be, written by a human.
  • Every possible combination of letters, including nonsensical ones, and every profound truth.

And it wonโ€™t just write them once. It will write them infinitely many times.

Within the finite lifespan of our universe, the infinite monkey theorem remains a whimsical impossibility, a testament to the staggering unlikelihood of pure randomness creating order. But when we stretch our minds to the concept of infinite time, the theorem transforms into a mind-bending reality, revealing the profound and almost magical power of endless probability. The cosmic typewriter, churning out infinite universes of text, forever.


Based on โ€œWhy we canโ€™t see progress | The Gray Areaโ€ from Vox Watch the original video

The Backlash is Proof: Why We Keep Missing Our Own Victories

In an era saturated with headlines of division, decline, and despair, itโ€™s easy to feel overwhelmed, isolated, and powerless. Mainstream and right-wing media often amplify the voices of a vocal minority โ€“ those against vaccines, immigration, reproductive rights, trans and queer rights, and climate action โ€“ framing them as the dominant force. This narrative, author Rebecca Solnit argues, is a carefully constructed illusion designed to convince us that โ€œthe minority is the majority,โ€ leaving many feeling alienated and disempowered. Yet, Solnit, whose latest book, The Beginning Comes After the End, was written with palpable urgency, offers a counter-narrative: We, the progressive majority, are actually winning, and the very anger and backlash we witness are undeniable proof of our profound successes.

Solnitโ€™s book, which she rushed to publish, serves as โ€œequipmentโ€ for understanding the current moment. She believes we are on an โ€œupswing,โ€ despite the apparent chaos. The rightโ€™s fervent resistance, she contends, is a reaction to decades of significant, often overlooked, progress. But why do so many of us, even those on the side of progress, struggle to see these victories?

The Illusion of Powerlessness: Why We Miss Progress

Our inability to recognize positive change stems from several interconnected factors, according to Solnit.

First, thereโ€™s a collective amnesia. To perceive change, one must have a memory of what came before. Solnit points out that many view feminism as having โ€œfailedโ€ because it hasnโ€™t undone millennia of patriarchy in a single lifetime. Without remembering the marginalized and degraded status of women before the second-wave feminist movement of the 1960s, itโ€™s impossible to appreciate the monumental shifts that have occurred. Similarly, the legal battles around reproductive rights or LGBTQ+ equality lose their historical context if we forget the world where such rights were unimaginable.

Second, our contemporary media environment fosters a relentless short-term focus. Obsessed with โ€œwhat happened today, whatโ€™s going to happen tomorrow,โ€ we lose sight of the long arc of history. This constant immersion in immediate crises prevents us from recognizing the cumulative progress made over 10, 20, or even 50 years.

Third, Solnit identifies a tendency toward โ€œdoomer defeatismโ€ or premature surrender, particularly prevalent in the โ€œEnglish-speaking world.โ€ This โ€œpuritanical and Protestant and wimpyโ€ disposition leads to a grumpy, negative pessimism, a willingness to give up agency before the fight even begins. Recalling Timothy Snyderโ€™s โ€œ20 rules for surviving authoritarianism,โ€ Solnit emphasizes the danger of โ€œdeciding the regime has all the power and you have none,โ€ obeying when not necessary, and relinquishing the very power we possess to shape the future. People often assume the gift of prophecy, declaring inevitable doom, thereby absolving themselves of responsibility. But the future, Solnit reminds us, โ€œdoes not exist. Itโ€™s a result of how we show up.โ€

Compounding these issues is a habit among the progressive left of โ€œsnatching defeat from the jaws of victory.โ€ We often focus so intently on what hasnโ€™t been achieved that we fail to acknowledge what has. Many victories, Solnit notes, are invisible: the coal-burning plant that didnโ€™t open, preventing childhood asthma; the forest that wasnโ€™t cut down; the lives saved by safe, legal abortions. These โ€œnon-eventsโ€ are hard to celebrate but represent profound improvements to society.

A New World is Being Born (and the Backlash Proves It)

Solnit frames the current political landscape through Antonio Gramsciโ€™s famous aphorism: โ€œAn old world is dying, a new world is struggling to be born, now is the time of monsters.โ€ While much attention is rightly paid to the โ€œmonstersโ€ โ€“ the rise of authoritarianism, Trumpism, and the decay of old systems โ€“ and the โ€œold world dyingโ€ โ€“ with its misogynist, white supremacist, hyper-capitalist, climate-denying elements โ€“ Solnit believes we are largely missing the โ€œnew world being born.โ€

This new world, she argues, has been profoundly shaped by decades of successful movements: anti-racism, civil rights, feminism, queer rights, disability rights, and a universal human rights agenda. These movements have chipped away at the โ€œapartheid and segregation and separation that was so normalizedโ€ in the world she was born into. She vividly recalls a world where much of Africa was colonized, apartheid reigned in South Africa, Jim Crow laws dominated the American South, women were โ€œmarginalized, disempowered, degraded,โ€ and queer people were considered โ€œmentally ill or criminal or degenerate,โ€ forced to live in hiding. There was no language or awareness for systemic environmental degradation.

The transformation from that world to ours is staggering. And it is precisely these profound successes that have โ€œmade the right very angry and frightened.โ€ Solnit points out a crucial observation: โ€œif you listen to them, they are angry and they are frightened and they think theyโ€™re losing, which is really telling.โ€ The backlash isnโ€™t a sign of progressive failure; itโ€™s a testament to progressive power. We are no longer merely โ€œfighting to try to get somethingโ€; in many areas, we have become โ€œthe brand new status quo,โ€ now fighting to defend what has been achieved โ€“ voting rights, reproductive rights, marriage equality, environmental protection.

The Roots of Resistance: An Ideology of Isolation

At the core of this backlash, Solnit suggests, is a deep-seated revolt against interdependence. If America has a default ideology, it is hyper-individualism, promoting the image of the โ€œrugged individualโ€ or the โ€œself-made man.โ€ This ideology, however, conveniently ignores the countless human connections and societal structures that enable any individualโ€™s success. Itโ€™s an โ€œideology of isolationโ€ that ultimately leads to a kind of nihilism: โ€œNothing is connected to anything else.โ€

This ideology finds offense even in the science of climate change, which inherently demonstrates consequences and connections. If actions have consequences, then we must take them into account, whether itโ€™s building a dam, cutting a forest, or burning fossil fuels. The rightโ€™s version of individualism champions โ€œunlimitedโ€ individual rights, but these rights are selectively applied. For example, they want to control womenโ€™s bodies, viewing women as part of โ€œnature that men get to dominate,โ€ rather than individuals with rights.

This โ€œugly version of individualismโ€ breeds emotional, spiritual, and moral isolation, contributing to the pervasive loneliness and joylessness Solnit observes in figures from Silicon Valley oligarchs to the โ€œmanosphereโ€ and the Trump administration. Silicon Valley, in particular, with its focus on AI substitutes for human connection, perpetuates this false scarcity of human interaction, further isolating individuals. This ideology of isolation fundamentally benefits those who profit from anti-capitalism, anti-feminism, anti-racism, and anti-environmentalism. The backlash, therefore, is an attempt to return to a world of separation and radical inequality, where such an ideology was unquestioned.

The Enduring Fight: No Victory is Final

For the โ€œsympathetic skepticโ€ who acknowledges the progress but still sees immense problems, Solnit offers a crucial perspective: โ€œthere is a lot of truth in it, but itโ€™s tracking a specific number of things.โ€ The problems are real, but they donโ€™t negate the victories. The fear that gains are fragile is valid, but itโ€™s โ€œjust an eternal political reality that no victory is final.โ€ Democracy, by its nature, requires constant defense of won ground.

The overturning of Roe v. Wade in 2022 is a stark reminder of this precarity. While a significant setback, Solnit argues itโ€™s not โ€œthe end of everything.โ€ The legal right was overturned, but the belief in that right remains strong, even increasing. While one path was closed, others opened: medication abortions became more accessible, blue states expanded reproductive rights, and, notably, four historically Catholic countries (Argentina, Mexico, Spain, and Ireland) granted women reproductive rights around the same time. The story is far from over.

The power of changing the cultural story is immense. Solnit illustrates this with the evolution of Supreme Court rulings on queer rights. In the early 2000s, the Court decriminalized anal sex with a โ€œweird ruling,โ€ but by 2015, they legalized marriage equality. This radical shift was not driven by legislative action, but by โ€œcountless queer people coming out of the closet,โ€ fundamentally altering what was considered โ€œnormal and reasonable and who deserves rights.โ€ This cultural transformation, driven by immense bravery, made the previously inconceivable legally possible. Young people today, with their fluid understanding of gender and sexual orientation, inhabit a genuinely different world that the right, despite its efforts, will struggle to reverse.

Indeed, Solnit notes a surprising paradox: โ€œThe right seems to grasp much better the depth of all these changes than the left.โ€ This is because, as she stated early on, โ€œour enemies take us seriously even when we donโ€™t take ourselves seriously.โ€ The rightโ€™s intense opposition is a clear articulation of five key insights about the progressive movement: โ€œYou all are very powerful. You have changed the world profoundly. All that stuff you do is actually all one project, one agenda. We hate it. We want to change it back.โ€ Their fear, therefore, is a measure of our collective impact.

While acknowledging the external fight, Solnit also turns a critical eye inward, to the challenges within the left. She observes how โ€œin-group behaviorโ€ often leads to โ€œpunishing the out-group,โ€ even within progressive circles. This can manifest as purity tests, where individuals are penalized for not being โ€œ100% squarely in this group,โ€ a dynamic that can cause the left to โ€œeat itself.โ€ Her friend Yo Maron once wisely stated, โ€œAt some level, the left doesnโ€™t believe it can win. And if you canโ€™t win, all you can do is be perfect.โ€ This pursuit of perfection often leads to alienating potential allies or newcomers, rather than building a โ€œbig tent.โ€

Another internal challenge is a widespread discomfort with uncertainty, leading to a craving for โ€œall or nothing storiesโ€ and simplistic, binary narratives. Drawing on Adornoโ€™s work on the authoritarian personality, Solnit notes that some people, even on the left, โ€œneed to have a really orderly, pigeonholed, categorized world.โ€ They embrace โ€œfalse certaintyโ€ about the future, creating a โ€œpredictable, categorizable, containable world.โ€

Solnit cautions that โ€œcategories are where thoughts go to die.โ€ Once we label someone or a group, we stop thinking, observing contradictions, and acknowledging the complexities of reality. Categories are โ€œleaky,โ€ and reality always overflows them. Her work, she says, aims to provide โ€œequipment to think more complexly,โ€ to embrace the uncertainty of the future not as a source of fear, but as a โ€œrealm of possibility.โ€

Societies, Solnit reminds us, are remarkably adaptable. Profound changes like the abolition of slavery or womenโ€™s suffrage did not cause countries to unravel. While backlash and regression occurred (e.g., Jim Crow after Reconstruction), the core ideas of equality and rights, once โ€œunloosed on the world,โ€ cannot be truly forgotten. We live in a world that would be โ€œinconceivable and unimaginableโ€ to someone from 1955, a testament to our collective power and adaptability.

Rebecca Solnit, with her unique blend of pragmatism and revolutionary spirit, urges us to see beyond the immediate gloom. The monsters are real, and the old world is dying, but the new world is also undeniably being born. By recognizing our past victories, understanding the true nature of the backlash, and embracing the complexity and uncertainty of the present, we can reclaim our collective power and continue to shape a future where possibility, not despair, defines our path.


Based on โ€œWhy Are Countries Abandoning OPEC?โ€ from Economics Explained Watch the original video

The Shifting Sands of Oil Power: Why the UAEโ€™s Exit Signals a New Era for OPEC

The global oil market is undergoing a seismic shift, and the recent announcement by the United Arab Emirates (UAE) to abandon the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) is more than just a headline โ€“ itโ€™s a profound tremor in the foundations of what was once the worldโ€™s most formidable oil cartel. On April 27th, the UAE, a member for over six decades and the fourth-largest producer within the group, declared its departure, citing a capacity to produce far beyond its mandated quota and simmering frustrations with its OPEC neighbors. While these reasons hold some truth, the move unravels a much deeper narrative about OPECโ€™s dwindling influence, the rise of new energy giants, and the complex geopolitical chess game being played out on the global stage.

This isnโ€™t merely a minor inconvenience for OPEC; itโ€™s a significant and public blow to an organization that has been steadily losing its grip on global oil markets for years. Once supplying over half the worldโ€™s oil, OPECโ€™s share has now shrunk to less than a quarter. The USA alone, once a declining producer, now churns out half as much oil as OPECโ€™s collective output. The UAEโ€™s exit, therefore, isnโ€™t just about one member leaving; itโ€™s a stark indicator of a system under immense pressure, potentially signaling the beginning of a larger unraveling.

The Cracks in the Cartelโ€™s Foundation

At its core, OPEC operates on a simple principle: by collectively limiting the supply of oil from its members, it aims to drive up prices through basic market forces, thereby maximizing revenues for the group. This system, however, hinges entirely on the cartel possessing sufficient market share to actually influence global oil prices. If its control over supply is too small, holding back production simply leaves money on the table for non-members, who are all too happy to fill the void. And this, precisely, is OPECโ€™s predicament.

The groupโ€™s market power has eroded dramatically, falling from a peak of over 50% of global supply to under 25% today. This decline isnโ€™t linear; the loss of the first few percentage points of market share hurts pricing dominance far more than subsequent drops. The worldโ€™s sources of crude oil have become far more diversified, a transformation largely driven by the North American shale boom. This revolution single-handedly turned the United States from a long-declining oil producer into the worldโ€™s largest.

OPEC, in its heyday, was adept at threading the needle on prices. Extracting oil from the Gulf or Venezuela is extraordinarily cheap โ€“ Saudi conventional crude can be lifted for as little as $4 a barrel. In contrast, US shale oil initially required prices closer to $50 or $60 a barrel to be commercially viable. Theoretically, OPEC could have kept prices just low enough to disincentivize the development of these higher-cost fields, thereby maintaining its market share. But it didnโ€™t.

In the mid-2000s, oil prices soared, making the previously uneconomic process of drilling into shale rock with horizontal wells and hydraulic fracking suddenly profitable. This ignited the shale boom, and once the infrastructure and supply chains were established, that production became a persistent, unaligned competitor.

Beyond simply adding more supply, North American oil presented a unique strategic threat. The oil shocks of the early 1980s and various conflicts in the Middle East had taught oil-importing nations a harsh lesson: over-reliance on the Gulf was a critical strategic vulnerability. Energy independence became a national priority, spurring countries to invest heavily in their own oil industries. Every new barrel brought online outside of OPECโ€™s control was a barrel that further diminished the cartelโ€™s power.

In an attempt to recapture lost influence, OPEC launched OPEC+, a spin-off that brought in non-member producers like Russia. However, OPEC+ soon encountered its own set of coordination problems. The more producers brought into the fold, the more national interests had to be balanced, leading to frequent disagreements over who should cut production and by how much. Russia, for instance, has repeatedly produced above its agreed quotas, undermining the groupโ€™s efforts at coordinated action, a task made easier by its reliance on โ€œgray marketโ€ oil exports.

The UAEโ€™s Calculated Departure

Publicly, the UAEโ€™s decision to leave was attributed to these very disagreements over production quotas. The UAE accounts for roughly 12% of OPECโ€™s total output, but its official quota of around 3.2 million barrels per day has long been considered an artificial cap. Industry estimates suggest the UAE could push its capacity towards 5 million barrels a day within a few years if unburdened by OPEC restrictions. This potential for significant new supply entering global markets, entirely outside OPECโ€™s influence, is a crucial concern for the cartel.

However, the timing of the UAEโ€™s announcement raises questions. Currently, its exports are hampered by the conflict in the region, particularly blockades through the Strait of Hormuz, and some infrastructure damage. If the sole motivation was to export more oil, this might seem like an odd moment to make such a move. As regional experts like Ryan Grim have pointed out, this paradox suggests deeper geopolitical motivations. It appears the UAE is also using its exit to โ€œgeopolitically stick itโ€ to other members who have either actively engaged in hostilities against it or failed to provide adequate defense during ongoing conflicts.

In the short term, the direct impact on global oil prices from increased UAE supply might not be immediate due to these operational challenges. But the long-term signal it sends is far more significant. If the UAE can walk away and eventually earn more by producing closer to its true capacity, every other OPEC member will inevitably run the same calculation. Membership in OPEC comes with geopolitical baggage โ€“ expectations of policy coordination, meetings, and at least a pretense of alignment. If the revenue advantage diminishes, the incentives to leave, beyond simple supply autonomy, begin to stack up.

Internal Frictions and External Pressures

OPECโ€™s broader image is also at stake. After years of trying to compensate for declining relevance by expanding into OPEC+ and presenting itself as a wider coalition, a key member publicly walking out the front door sends a powerful message. Prospective new members will surely question the value of joining a group that a long-standing partner has just abandoned. This is particularly damaging at a time when OPEC members are, in some cases, literally fighting with one another.

The internal dynamics within OPEC, particularly the relationship between Saudi Arabia and the smaller Gulf producers, have been quietly fraying for years. The UAE, in particular, has expressed frustration that production cuts often fall disproportionately on countries with spare capacity (like itself), while Saudi Arabia maintains its role as a swing producer and gatekeeper. This leadership dynamic itself has become a reason to leave, a grievance that other Gulf producers like Kuwait or Iraq might well recognize in their own situations, feeding the โ€œdomino effectโ€ concern.

A Financial Lifeline from Washington?

Another crucial angle to consider is the UAEโ€™s evolving relationship with the United States. Over the past decade, the UAE has aggressively pursued economic diversification, rebranding Dubai and Abu Dhabi as business hubs, tourist destinations, and financial centers. This strategy relies heavily on stability, foreign investment, and a steady inflow of foreign currency. The ongoing conflict in the region has been a severe blow, impacting both oil revenues and the broader business hub economy.

By many accounts, the UAE has been running short on the dollar reserves needed to maintain its economy and currency peg while these revenue streams are disrupted. In the weeks leading up to the OPEC announcement, the United States was reportedly in discussions to provide financial support to the UAE through a currency swap line, an arrangement similar to one the US has with Argentina. This would grant the UAE access to dollars to defend its currency and pay for imports without depleting its own reserves or selling off assets โ€“ an enormous backstop in the midst of a wartime energy crisis.

Such arrangements, however, are rarely โ€œfree.โ€ Currency swap lines from the US Treasury and Federal Reserve often come with implicit conditions, including alignment on broader foreign policy. They have historically been used as much as a diplomatic tool as a financial one. While the UAEโ€™s departure from OPEC was certainly not purely driven by this potential bailout, itโ€™s reasonable to assume that these conversations may have influenced the timing. For a country caught between an uncooperative oil cartel and a financial lifeline from Washington, leaving an organization that the US has, broadly speaking, been at odds with for decades, is a relatively inexpensive way to demonstrate alignment.

The Domino Effect: A Looming Threat?

The current situation paints a reasonably clear picture: OPEC is no longer the dominant force it once was, and the UAEโ€™s departure is less the cause of its decline and more a consequence of it. The cartel had already shed much of its pricing power before this week, and the UAE simply ran the numbers, concluding that the costs of membership had begun to outweigh the benefits.

The real risk now is the dreaded โ€œdomino effect.โ€ If other members perform the same calculation and reach the same conclusion, a stampede could ensue, with each member prioritizing its own interests. A cartel only works when every member benefits from cooperation โ€“ itโ€™s a classic prisonerโ€™s dilemma. If one party leaves, they can produce more and capture greater revenue, but only as long as everyone else continues to hold back. This arrangement is inherently fragile.

When OPEC controlled 50% of the market, the math was simple: the pricing benefit of staying in the cartel was immense, and the cost of cheating was a price collapse that no one could absorb. But at 25% market share, and with the UAE leaving, the math becomes far less obvious. Remaining members are asked to hold back production while former members and non-members produce as much as they desire. As the group shrinks, the incentive to leave grows, and the incentive to stay diminishes. This is the feedback loop that has historically led to the breakdown of cartels, and it looms large over OPEC.

For most of the global economy, this erosion of OPECโ€™s power is an overwhelmingly positive development. More competition and diversified supplies, all other things being equal, mean lower prices, fewer supply shocks, and less influence concentrated in the hands of a small group of countries that have historically used oil as a geopolitical weapon. The shifting sands of oil power are reshaping the global energy landscape, promising a messier, less coordinated, but potentially more stable future for global oil markets.
