feed friday: 1729 — plantimals

1729 is ramanujan’s number (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1729_%28number%29).

1729 is now also the name of Balaji S. Srinivasan (https://balajis.com/)’s new project (https://balajis.com/2021-and-1729/).

the 1729 feed is rather new, but it has been a fascinating read so far. balaji (I’d normally refer to creators by their last names, but in this instance I believe that would be less clear) is trying to put together a community via the internet. he is a proponent of the notion of digital sovereignty, and my favorite rational optimist. he can be found on twitter as @balajis (https://twitter.com/balajis). he had a conversation with tim (https://tim.blog/2021/03/24/balaji-srinivasan/) in which he describes the 1729 concept in great depth, along with a lot of other fascinating ideas.
