Taken today at The Grottos Trail in Aspen. The ice caves have no ice, but are still gorgeous. One of the better photos I’ve taken with my Fuji X-T5.

We're all going to die and Luxury Economy & New Luxury
A big thing I have changed my mind about over the last few years is the importance of efficiency. I hate that I was such a sucker. I bought in. I joined the cult. I do still get triggered by stupidity disguised as inefficient processes, I’ve stopped looking at the world through a lens of efficiency. Being slow, having time to think, having your own thoughts, disconnecting, not being tethered to a device – these are luxuries.
Everything on TikTok is just kind of mediocre, because nobody watches anything for very long, so there’s no reason to make anything very good. And increasingly, this endless, relentless feed of bland mediocrity is eating every other type of cultural consumption in America.

It’s mediocre tools that we have to watch out for. They quietly and persistently corrupt our intent and force us to work harder on the parts that don’t matter as much.
Mediocre tools
