one of your best, imo. to summarize: we’ve lost our humanity and need to find a way to regain it. less optimized curated efficiency and more human nature needed
I think the myth of stability is what strikes me here. If we follow that script, then stability is guaranteed. Playbook or no playbook, stability is never guaranteed. Unless you're talking about financial stability, and you are on the receiving end of a trust fund. It's easy to say, looking back, that there is a playbook or was a playbook for other generations. But I think that's a myth too. The older I get, the more I realize that nobody, I mean nobody (AI bros included), knows what they are doing. That's when I take a piece from the hipster favorite David Foster Wallace on what to worship (hint: it's not AI ;): https://mbird.com/literature/more-david-foster-wallace-quotes/

absolutely- we need third spaces back. social media is not a third space (yes, includes Substack, though it does come close..)

so well put. I’d say stability is becoming harder than ever, unless of course you crack the code..
I’ll peep that David Foster Wallace piece- he did a Roger Federer write up for the NYT in the aughts that was a masterpiece.
