This post gets filed in my brain under “the world contains a surprising amount of detail” and contains an attached note stating “and those details are connected in surprising ways because the details of the world are densely distributed in concept space”.
It’s one thing to understand, in theory, that the world is deeply interconnected. It’s another to actually see those connections feel how unexpected they often are. This post is useful evidence as part of a bundle of similar facts to build up a picture about how the world fits together, and I wish there were more posts like it.
