Join Platy’S Readwise Highlights
A batch of the best highlights from what Platy's read, .
Re-typing and transcribing doesn’t matter. Duplication of data doesn’t matter. Busywork doesn’t matter. Those are all temporary, transient, minor inconveniences, and they only become necessary once you’ve already had the satisfaction of making real progress. Conversely, friction does matter. Stress does matter. Annoyance while working does matter. Constant papercuts of suboptimality do matter, because they will lengthen every creative session and they’ll deplete the resources you need in order to think well.

Erotic desire, Angel argues, does not sit within us, fully formed, waiting to be mined like ore. It takes shape through a process of exploration, and, ideally, collaboration. (They don’t call it “intercourse” for nothing.) But Angel thinks that this kind of happy discovery is compromised for many women. One clear reason is the threat of male violence. A less obvious culprit is the safeguard that contemporary feminism has formulated to defuse that threat: affirmative consent.

Blink gave me the confidence to walk away from my legal career without feeling like it was wasted time. It helped me understand what I liked about being a lawyer wasn’t the lawyering part of it at all. It was solving difficult problems that I enjoyed, which I could find elsewhere with something more in line with my strengths.
