It is fascinating that storytelling has been reduced to “psychological manipulation” for the purpose of viral retention. Not saying it doesn’t work. Just saying this seems a bad way to live life. And hear stories.

Ai has destroyed any type of reactive or viral short form. The time it takes to inquire if something is real will create friction that will shift attention. Education will remain relevant. But rage bait and click bait will fail promptly.

My first book was fiction. And it remains unpublished because the process of getting creative work into the world is unbelievably difficult. My second book launches August 12. It is far easier to market because it directly helps people and isn’t just entertainment Fascinating

I sometimes get frustrated that my content doesn’t get as many views as I’d like. But then I remember a billion pieces of content are uploaded daily. A billion. Ya. I’m glad your seeing this. 🙏

Fascinating to me that people no longer ask for context in a thread. They ask ai. And ai is often all wrong or mostly wrong.
