Skittle Factory Dementia Monkey Titty Monetization

<p>Hi friends 👋, </p><p>Happy Tuesday! I have been excited to send this episode to you since the pseudonymous writer, Parakeet, responded to the message I sent her immediately after reading her weird and wonderful essay, <em><a href="https://parakeet.substack.com/p/skittle-factory-dementia-monkey-titty" rel="nofollow">Skittle Factory Dementia Monkey Titty Monetization</a></em>.</p><div><a href="https://parakeet.substack.com/p/skittle-factory-dementia-monkey-titty?utm_source=substack&amp;utm_campaign=post_embed&amp;utm_medium=web" rel="nofollow"><div><img src="https://static.fwimg.io/img/feed/46750fd4878d4b8b4fc0853ec36c4e13.jpg"><span>Parakeet’s Substack</span></div><div><div>Skittle Factory Dementia Monkey Titty Monetization</div></div><div>I’m implementing a new method for improving my productivity and it’s ruining my life, my sleep, my peace of mind, everything…</div><div><span>Read more</span></div><div>12 days ago · 232 likes · 44 comments · Parakeet</div></a></div><p>I first heard about Parakeet a couple weeks ago when I saw half of my Twitter feed and half of my Substack Notes feed sharing her essay, including a bunch of people I wouldn't expect to share an essay with "Monkey Titty" in the title. <a href="https://x.com/GrahamDuncanNYC" rel="nofollow">Graham Duncan</a> via <a href="https://x.com/nabeelqu" rel="nofollow">Nabeel Qureshi</a> is about as well-recommended as something can come in my book.</p><div><figure><a href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F88fbcbe3-83e6-4a8c-9294-76717599521d_874x703.png" rel="nofollow"><div><picture><source><img src="https://static.fwimg.io/img/feed/3244494c4d3b8d257fc775a7cfee4d74.jpg" alt=""></source></picture><div><div><div></div><div></div></div></div></div></a><figcaption><a href="https://x.com/GrahamDuncanNYC/status/1905632736637059274" rel="nofollow">Link to Tweet</a></figcaption></figure></div><p>I read it immediately, and understood why. Parakeet describes universally applicable ideas with the color turned up to 11.</p><p>I’m biased, but I think our conversation was even more fun than the essay. Here’s one tidbit that I think captures the vibe well: </p><blockquote><p><em>Good writing comes to life when I think like you just describe the truth as simply and as clearly as possible. And I think like the truth is always beautiful, the truth is always like the most alive thing that you can put in like an artistic work. Okay, the Monkey Titties guy.</em></p></blockquote><p>This Parakeet contains multitudes.</p><p>Because Parakeet is pseudonymous, we animated her portion of the video with an illustrated version of the <a href="https://www.worldhistory.org/image/2337/hellenistic-mosaic-pergamon/" rel="nofollow">Hellenistic Mosaic of the Alexandrine Parakeet from Pergamon</a> using GPT images and Hedra. HUGE thanks to our editor, Jim Portela, for making it happen. </p><div><figure><a href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F42162c81-60fd-4f06-9e58-343075ea4fb7_750x540.jpeg" rel="nofollow"><div><picture><source><img src="https://static.fwimg.io/img/feed/78f7a1f080a5efabbe52ac4636ab193a.jpg" alt="Hellenistic Mosaic, Pergamon" title="Hellenistic Mosaic, Pergamon"></source></picture><div><div><div></div><div></div></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p>In our DMs, Parakeet explained why she asked for this particular bird: </p><blockquote><p><em>I love the Alexandrine Parakeet because Alexander the Great saw it on a campaign in India and was fascinated by its ability to mimic speech, so he brought it to Greece as a beautiful exotic pet. It is one of the earliest known instances of bringing an exotic Asian species to Europe so it kind of an emblem of cross cultural exchange.</em></p></blockquote><p>As for the conversation itself, well… we went wide. </p><p>We explore the "dementia personality" - how our core thought loops shape who we are and might one day define us, whether we choose for them to or not. She shares what she learned working at a dementia facility and explains her Skittle Factory metaphor for personality (and researching Skittle Factories). From the essay: </p><blockquote><p><em>A person is like a skittle factory. Your personality is the Rube Goldberg machine clicking and whirring on the assembly floor. The core loop is the fuel powering the factory— your dementia personality. The gas nobody sees but everyone smells. Everyday, reality delivers raw ingredients to your loading dock— conversations, meetings, weather, weird eye contact with strangers— and your factory processes this arbitrary shit into something predictable: your particular flavor of reality. Your skittles.</em></p></blockquote><p>We talk about her writing process, gifs, why more people should read George Orwell's <em><a href="https://www.orwellfoundation.com/the-orwell-foundation/orwell/essays-and-other-works/politics-and-the-english-language/" rel="nofollow">Politics and the English Language</a></em>, and what she learned from her once-half-paralyzed dance teacher. You’ll hear the bizarre true story behind the "Monkey Titty" portion of the essay title and why Parakeet believes everyone should re-read Atlas Shrugged as an adult. </p><p>Plus, Parakeet reveals her one-simple-trick to publish more often.</p><p>The whole thing was the right mix of thought-provoking, weird, and fun. </p><p>As always, you can find her essay and all of the essays we cover on Hyperlegible at <a href="https://readwise.io/reader/view/hyperlegible" rel="nofollow">readwise.io/hyperlegible</a>.

比特币上周价格一度触及 6 万美元。在收益递减模型下，这绝不是简单的噪音。市场正在触碰整个四年周期与对数增长框架中最脆弱的环节。
当比特币周期顶部的涨幅已被大幅压缩，如果再出现历史级别的深度回调，其经典周期的吸引力将彻底失效。
这不是预测，这是数学规律。
