Book cover for Show Your Work!: 10 Ways to Share Your Creativity and Get Discovered (Austin Kleon)
creativity is always, in some sense, a collaboration, the result of a mind connected to other minds.

Tim Maughan
“The pinnacle of human effort had been to create a largely hidden, superefficient, globe-spanning infrastructure of vast ships and city-size container ports—and all to do nothing more than keep feeding capitalism’s hunger for the disposable. To move plastic trash made by the global poor into the hands of hapless, clueless consumers. A seemingly unstoppable beast built from parasitic tentacles, clenching the planet with an iron grip.”
Tim Maughan, Infinite Detail

“This was why the supply chains existed, in order to make transactions that logic dictated were most efficient on local scales work on global ones, through sheer size, brute force, cheap labor, and global inequality.”
Tim Maughan, Infinite Detail
