Content saturation has rewired the mechanics of cultural memory. When we’re faced with more stimuli than any brain has evolved to manage, our collective attention doesn’t coalesce around excellence. It can’t. There's too much. https://www.joanwestenberg.com/content-saturation-has-inverted-cultural-memory/

Be suspicious of the person whose confidence never wavers. Be wary of the system that explains everything. Be skeptical of the voice that always knows, never doubts, never hesitates. https://www.joanwestenberg.com/why-smart-people-follow-cheap-gurus/

I don't think the brand is as important as people think. Example: ChatGPT is a terrible name for a product. It doesn't matter. It's still a massive paradigm shift and the biggest consumer tech product in a long time.

This week wasn’t a crash. It was a warning. When power governs by impulse, the economy can’t forecast, and institutions can’t think. The cost isn’t just money. It’s memory. https://www.theindex.media/the-epistemic-costs-of-erratic-empire/

A 145% tariff on China is the fiscal equivalent of putting a boot through your own TV because it showed a foreign movie

Yeah this is 100000% accurate. It also makes growing a pure content business so much harder.

You don’t need to believe the left is always right to believe Trump is dangerous.

Anyone still thinking this is about protecting American steelworkers or rebalancing trade with China hasn't been paying attention—or worse, is clinging to the fairy tale that this movement is tethered to any rational economic theory. https://www.theindex.media/america-the-isolated/

There is nothing to celebrate here. This is incredibly bearish. It means nothing the US says can be believed beyond a 24-48 hour window. You can’t build anything in that environment.

If you say “universal healthcare” 3 times a guy in wraparound sunglasses appears to call you a marxist and then die of preventable disease in a chili’s parking lot

Productivity culture says: finish it. check it off. close the loop. But your brain doesn’t want closure. It wants tension. That’s where the energy is. Want to stay in motion? Leave the loop open. https://www.joanwestenberg.com/the-zeigarnik-engine-using-unfinished-tasks-to-fuel-endless-momentum/

Kennedy didn't create the outbreak in Texas. The virus doesn't need him to replicate. But the ecosystem that enabled it—the swamp of conspiracy, pseudoscience, and libertarian moralism—that's his kingdom. https://www.theindex.media/measles-misinformation-and-the-death-cult-of-wellness/
