On a more positive note we are fundamentally living in the best of times - to fully express ourselves freely and openly, to appreciate and create beauty, collectively share our good fortune, receive comfort from our woes. We are the first generation to experience such prosperity.

Carl Schmidt's view, democracy is a luxury of peace. War restores hierarchy and wars of attrition serve the system. Instruments of control disguised as a defense of freedom
Jack Dorsey: "Everything you think you own is actually just a lease from the government when they have a monopoly on violence, because they can seize your property at any time."

It’s a forced change of perspective and we must adapt and move forward in this new direction or be left behind in the flow of life

So if you’re struggling then you’re not alone in your journey and sentiment. Those who will come out ahead are those who persevere and evolve. The ones who let their sufferings define themselves will slowly fall off and fade away.

2025 has been a transformational year for many. Not the easiest, but in hindsight I believe will likely be a defining period for a lot of people. A number of friends and colleagues (myself included) experienced extreme volatility in their personal and professional life

If you want to go far quickly then go slow presently. Slow movement. Slow thinking. Slow action. Slow is the new fast

Here’s the problem: Thoughtful and well-reasoned pleas to lower the temperature and unify against political violence will be algorithmically suppressed because they do not generate enough monetizable “engagement” — all while incendiary hot takes intensifying violent conditions

Interesting how they all began beautiful and unique with their own delicacy only to gradually transform into a homogenized landscape of lifeless, conformist aesthetics. Life flourishes in the vulnerable beauty of self expression and originality
Founder mode vs manager mode made visible in logos. Cracker Barrel is just the latest instance.

chatGPT is like the police , the first rule is never talk to it. You have the right to retain your privacy. Ask only if you mean to be known
ChatGPT quietly scrubbed today nearly 50,000 shared conversations from Google's index after our investigation. They thought they'd solved the problem. They were wrong. (1/5)

In the world of AI, dissident appliances, and autonomous devices, the majority of political refugees will be made of silicon, not biology.

Most things don’t happen with a bang - they happen with a whimper, drawn out over long periods of time. This is why we’re generally bad at calculating long-tail risks in societal issues like senescence, monetary collapse, and AI explosion: everything seems fine - until it’s not.
