MERIDIAN MONDAYS Left: Meridian #275 by @mattdesl on @artblocks in the collection of @hereforthis Right: My photo of the Supertree Grove at the Gardens by the Bay, Singapore, May 2017. At least twice a night, the Supertree Grove erupts into a riot of colour and sounds as the Gardens puts on a light and music show there.

Personal archiving would indeed need to be part of the repertoire of skills that make up digital literacy 💯

MERIDIAN MONDAYS Left: Meridian #353, with the fiery and foreboding "Volcano" palette, by @mattdesl on @artblocks Right: Photo taken while walking around Hong Kong in July 2018. The rich, warm hues in the photo reflect the city’s latent energy, and perhaps foretell the unfortunate chaos that would befall it the next year.

Indeed, the best way to relate to such tech is when they are used to augment the human experience and not to replace it.

The online self may soon be founded upon a squad of agents manifesting simulated identities. From my latest blog post (link in quoted cast).

Yes, you have a good point! I see it as part of the classic breadth vs. depth conundrum—deploying simulations of yourself to do things online will enhance the former but not the latter, since what you gain in terms of being able to experiment with more personas and pathways online, you lose by not actually having the moment-to-moment experience of actually doing the thing yourself. To me, where such simulated selves may be optimal is to do things lower on one's priority list, things that you wouldn't have time or inclination anyway, but still have some slight interest. Basically, these simulations can help to expand the latent space for your being (by establishing various trailheads), but you'll still need to work to ensure that it has depth (by actually going down a particular trail of your choosing and living that out).

"The Remarkable Life of Ibelin" is a deeply moving documentary on Netflix about the life of a World of Warcraft player. I watched it while cooped up in an overnight bus in Peru, and it spurred a lot of reflections regarding the general phenomenon of life online and my personal digital identities. Penned down some further thoughts about how I think our sense of self is likely to further fragment and be taken on weirder tangents in the future, as technologies like digital properties (aka NFTs) become enshrined and AI agents start simulating our very selves. Sharing my essay here in case there's any interest! https://mirror.xyz/buffets.eth/czuDG6cYCiF4SThIgC_P1EyMmABSvv3_w3Q0IAk1tXg

Indeed! Without a crypto wallet, durable ownership of digital objects on the internet will not be possible, and ownership is key to making the internet much more worthwhile to build or create on.
