I want to be realistic about how the mind works today, which is on multiple streams. And this situation isn’t going to change. We can set up full attention as an ideal, but our digital devices are producing a different way of attending.
even in places where there’s more optimism, there are fewer signs of social imagination than in the past.
"Where is the edge of me? Where is the edge of you? When I ask, 'How can I be a better person?' — the question carries an illusion that is out of kilter with families, cultures, and histories that we are all responding to. I would rather ask: 'Who can you be when you are with me?' This is a more ecological question."
Nora Bateson, Combining
All projects become memes, and then all memes become products. But the urge to celebrate the thing you love, and to communicate to others about the thing you love, is annoyingly human.
