I do genuinely miss the small town hall feeling of twitter years ago, where you could post to friends and the adjacent void and interesting ideas would find you. I like Farcaster because my account presence here feels small in that same way, but I think we’re headed toward Balkanization of the internet and dwindling find the others energy no matter what.

Making a place is the most future-oriented work I’ve done. It’s a commitment to a future. Most futures-oriented work I see operates as denial of increasingly shrinking personal optionality, articulated only as negative freedoms.

Freedom, privacy and wellbeing are not a trilemma trade off. It’s just going to take a decade to change the course.

I’ve been wondering about the relationship between technological innovation and risk When are they proportionate and disproportionate? Does innovation always produce symmetrical risks, e.g. the ship always produces the shipwreck? It obviously can’t be a perfectly proportionate relationship but I wish it could be understood better What if there was a ViX for technology taking an index of progress and risk indicators? This would likely be doomed by speculative counterfactuals and technological doomers, but it feels like we’re already confronting the shadow of this now

I can’t stop thinking about the changes coming from self-driving EVs and how it can reshape quality of life (air, sound, commute, new types of roads) and the relationship between urban and rural culture. I hope we remain on the trajectory to get there.

Living in the countryside and eating fresh local produce and happily cultivated meat has made it impossible for me to eat meat under other circumstances. (I was a vegetarian for a long time and recently switched back — it seems it’s a boomerang.)

Twitter feels like that episode of Buffy where she can suddenly hear what everyone is thinking. At first, it's really cool, like a superpower, and at the end she has a breakdown.

I'm reading Life as No One Knows It by Sara Walker. Between her and Michael Levin's work, I feel intuitively compelled by the nascent formalization of memory as an unconscious force (not just genomics, but including life, post-life and abiotic matter).
