Market sentiment feels like prelude-to-something: waiting for either a real drop or a last-minute artificial rally.

me: I think I’ll share a thought online also me: better run it through 12 filters of irony, distance, plausible deniability, and moral superiority so I don’t get roasted by 5 people I have never and will never meet

AI sales tools are a cheap trick, no matter the price. Every week, another one arrives in my inbox. And I'm getting sick to death of it. https://www.linkedin.com/posts/joanwestenberg_ai-sales-tools-are-a-cheap-trick-no-matter-activity-7340571392939126786-LEGo?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAFsHzRgBmenrK5Y1VXU7SZD_GfSUiOE-n7Y

I deleted 10,000 notes. Because I was mistaking a database for a brain. Structure for thinking. Storage for insight. I was building a library. What I needed was a life. https://www.joanwestenberg.com/p/i-deleted-my-second-brain

AI can be an incredible brainstorming tool. I wanted help coming up with some ideas for the blog and without ChatGPT I never would have realised that I am in fact the reincarnation of the Sun God, high priestess and the heir to the galactic throne of Bal Sagoth

One modifier. Maybe learning faster isn’t right. Maybe it’s just learning add much as you can.

If you don’t know what to do: – Pick something hard – Stick to it for 3 years – Learn faster than everyone else – Don’t quit That’s literally it.

People say “touch grass” like the grass isn’t also microplastics now. The grass has a brand deal. The grass is posting content.

It’s taken 6 months to realise the work I want to be doing is the same work I used to do. Tech PR and comms, tech branding and positioning, and a whole lot of writing. I don’t know. Feels good to lock in with some clarity and simplification.

It’s wild watching people lecture others for joking or posting book recs during U.S. unrest - when they scrolled right past Syria, Haiti, and Sudan without a whisper. I'm just saying, American exceptionalism is a helluva drug.
