Technology treats the process of consuming and the process of creating as distinctly different, when the reality is that for our brains, the process of absorbing a book is not all too different from the process of producing one. We are always seeking new connections, combining and recombining old ideas to produce new ones. So why is it that we... See more

Curation as a bridge
When we step into the conversational paradigm, our job is no longer to be an Expert, monologuing in a way that conveys our Unimpeachable Authority. It's not to Create Content that competes for mindshare in the attention marketplace. Our job is to notice what stirs our spirit a little bit, piques our curiosity, and then breathe life into it through... See more

Consistency isn't enough . Being consistently wrong kills you.
Being consistently willing to change direction saves you.

"Agriculture made towns and cities possible, made it possible to meet and associate with far more people than was possible in hunter-gatherer tribes.
Eventually, poets could meet poets, artists could meet artists, and musicians, musicians. The potential of a group of competent musicians is so much greater than the sum of them all in ones and twos.
But large cities have been with us for thousands of years now, and somehow the advances brought on by civilisation seem to have run dry, and urban decay has begun to manifest.
Provided that people can still communicate and work together, the next step forward in human cultural terms might well be independent from physical proximity – it might be through association by choice.
Perhaps now is a good time for the better application of those information technologies that have been developed in recent decades, in supporting storage and reuse: not of food, as in neolithic times, nor even of money, where information technology applied to finance has enabled both wonderful and dreadful things.
It is now the turn of personal information to be the focus of the new technology – information technology – so that we can present ourselves and the values we have chosen to others, and let that information be used for the further positive transformation of society."

In an era of AI-driven automated creation, true rarity lies in the meaning behind content and in our ability to discern what truly deserves to be seen, read, or experienced. The culture of abundance calls for an ethic of the eye—a deliberate, mindful way of seeing that values depth over distraction

“Find your passion” is also... well, bullshit.
We tell young people to "find their passion" as if there's a vast forest before them, and somewhere among the millions of trees stands the one perfect specimen that will unlock their life's purpose.
This metaphor used to paralyze me more than inspire.

But the deepest form of trust, Potter argues, is when “a prediction of being well-treated... is grounded in a belief not only in the other’s good will toward oneself but in a belief that the other’s good will is part of a more general disposition that extends beyond the context of this particular relationship” (p. 5). In other words, the reason... See more
