A close reading of Mr Beast, as turbo-Abramović.

“This is the kind of personality that invents vaccines and proves impossibility theorems, but the things he got insanely invested in are (1) youtube (2) ethically sourced chocolate bars.”

Some time in the early 1970s, Time magazine art critic Robert Hughes had a dishwasher installed in his SoHo townhouse. He received something of a shock upon noticing the man fixing his dishwasher
was Philip Glass. “But you’re an artist” he exclaimed, demonstrating a faith in art’s profitability which, half a century later, seems almost quaint. “I explained” Glass recalls, “that I was an artist, but
I was sometimes a plumber as well, and he should go away and let me finish”.

I loved discovering this when I wrote an essay for the National Concert Hall ahead of his residency there in 2019. Along with this great little supplementary anecdote from his time as a white goods repairman.

Enthusiasts used their home computers to search for ET—scientists are homing in on 100 signals they found For 21 years, between 1999 and 2020, millions of people worldwide loaned UC Berkeley scientists their computers to search for signs of advanced civilizations in our galaxy.

For over 20 years, SETI@Home crowdsourced computer power to look for aliens. After a decade of analysis, the most promising signals are being studied by a huge Chinese telescope. I can't stress enough that the Three-Body Problem was not supposed to be an instruction manual.
