    Cities and Ambition. I recently reread this Paul Graham essay [ https://www.paulgraham.com/cities.html ]. It’s about what messages individual places send their inhabitants vis-a-vis which ambitions are good. It mentions Berkeley (where I live) as a place that wants people to live comfortably/well, which seems right. So I’m curious: what city do you live in and what does its vibe want you to do?

    This reminds me of NK Jemison’s The City We Became

    Every great city has a soul. Some are ancient as myths, and others are as new and destructive as children. New York? She’s got six.
