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.

I’m back home and incredibly excited to return to everything I’m working on. Social media silence commences again.

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.)

Yeah OI blogger peer review came out of a group chat of people who happened to write. Part of that group chat came from a consulting project, but another part came from a gathering in upstate NY. It's tapered off now that people are less online. I'm focusing on creating a gathering place right now partially because of this.
