I read this and here's my take: - I couldn't agree more with many points articulated here - I think it does a great job, of grieving our current landscape of fragmentation. - Hard to move forward if we don't accept how things aren't great today, and only getting worse - Yet, again progress comes from crisis, and crisis is an opportunity - And if anything @cyrus and his writing makes me more optimistic about the future because ultimately because without fragmentation, there is no unification. without unification, there will never be another fragmentation - Especially the social side of things more (e/acc is only tech focused) where we are, who we are and what is happening -- in order to move forward where in the longer run the arc of humanity lifts us forward - Short term: it's easy to see where we are and be distraught - Long term: I continue to be unable to contain my excitement about the future, I really couldn't if I tried to

thanks for reading and sharing your thoughts. i like your framing of it as almost grieving the present to unlock the critical energy required to enable 'better' futures your optimism is precious and hope it continues. im expecting mine to fully bloom again someday soon.

Question for both of you: what about entropy? With all being said, our future will have more entropy, and therefore it will be less coherent. Wouldn't this make things worst? With more entropy I don't see how fragmentation, a representation of entropy, will be less and no more. I don't know if what I have written makes any sense 😁

While I'm pessimistic about our society short term and don't see it surviving, new empires always follow the death of old ones. I have hope that we can use the tools and knowledge we have to build a better world that is to follow.

I wish I could be optimistic given my love for humanity and life and glimpses of our potential but we're accelerating towards extinction with no brakes and I don't see how things can possibly get better without massive catastrophe and some sort of far future recovery if humans survive.
