On a whim, I watched this 18-minute TED talk this morning, based on the recommendation of my friend @foxwizard. Wasn't expecting to be so quickly moved to tears by her courage. The world needs more humans like this one. Why? Well, I'll just quote the eloquent @foxwizard (see the comments for a link to his Museletter): "This is an act of infinite play; Carol is in service to the infinite game—no matter the cost to herself. She has all of my respect." Mine, too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TZOoT8AbkNE

She's great - I remember her previous TED talk about FB. Btw: this might be a read you may enjoy now https://paragraph.com/@buildbetter/technology-cycles-for-builders_carlotaperez

Bookmarked to read later. Thanks. I actually just watched her TED talk for a second time, and found it even more compelling. I downloaded the video for future viewing. I'll watch it again whenever I need to, and also share with everyone who'll listen. Glad she mentioned the importance of donating to the Internet Archive/Wayback Machine. Back in the days when I had disposable income, I gave them a lot (for me, anyway) of money. Wish I could give them more.
