Over the past few weeks, I've been reflecting on several ideas that have been taking shape in my mind, particularly in light of the recent changes happening across the country.

These ideas revolve around our increasing reliance on technology and data, raising the question of when we might begin to see a pushback against this dependence.

At this moment, it feels as though our relentless pursuit of data—both its acquisition and analysis—has taken on an almost unchecked momentum, making its presence feel inescapable. There seems to be an off-the-rails attitude toward how much data we collect, how we analyze it, and how deeply it permeates our daily lives.

It doesn’t feel like we’re approaching a tipping point just yet, but if I’m thinking about it, others might be as well. Has anyone else been having similar thoughts?

I’m Alex or the ‘$degen cookie guy’. Early-ish to Farcaster and interested in meeting others who share a community oriented mindset!

I’m starting to see a reduction of the amount of data collected down to keeping only what is needed and what is expected to bring in business or practical value, especially in lieu of increased privacy restrictions. Kind of like stochastic gradient descent towards the right amount of data to consume.
