Beehive offered as any analogy for a new media paradigm of otherwise unspecified structure > A hexagon is the most efficient shape in nature because it maximizes area while minimizing perimeter. The hexagon is not the most efficient shape for area to perimeter, it's the circle. Honeycomb is not hexagonal, it merely appears that way by virtue of packing uniformly sized cylinders. As an empty honeycomb analogy is the only idea offered for a new "Popular Front" media— noting a thousand words submitted to summarize some approach— and that the claim of a hexagon as proffered is simply wrong, this article reads like someone announcing yet another way to milk some millionaire rubes from their money in a vein like The Lincoln Project, which are a forlorn sector of right-wing ideologues, alienated due to the rise of MAGA, but still reflexively classist and Republican. Maybe Substack can't figure out any other way to grow revenue than become expressly political propagandists? | ||
