I talked to @nayafia about why ideas matter, how they infect us, and why attention is upstream of action.
Nadia Asparouhova's new book Antimemetics is, to name a few things:
- part-modern history and sociology of the public/private internet
- part-framework for understanding how ideas spread and hide from us
- part-field guide for participating in public life online while treating your attention as sacred
We discussed the book in detail as well as a number of Nadia's other ideas, including silicon valley culture, institutions and ideologies, her first book on open source and democracy, Working in Public, jhanas, meditation, and consciousness, and optimism.
She is thoughtful, attuned, gracious, and wise. In a world of short-term, shallow thinking, her words take time to digest but linger and expand.
