On vacation last week so I didn't track anything (and left before finishing the previous week's board) Bit of a mixed experience – honestly I missed having some foundational activities to build on

I don’t care about agency. Or, more accurately: I think agency is merely a means to an end. I generally applaud the idea that people can and should take action in their lives. I want people to be empowered and opportunity to be distributed. I think we should design our tools and environments to enhance individual and collective agency. However, agency as a concept feels dangerously void without a guiding purpose. As @jihad recently challenged us, “What are we actually working toward? What values drive our work? What kind of world are we trying to create?” (link to his essay below) I’ve been thinking a lot about what my guiding purpose is. Right now, I think the answer is *flourishing*. I want humans to feel healthy, happy, and connected. I want to design things that help people find their own purpose, as well as the people and places that help them become the best versions of themselves. Flourishing is still a broad concept, but it's at least a start in the right direction.

"The fact that AI can step in when life moves faster than systems—when bad things happen while people are off the clock—isn’t just a party trick for the techno-optimist. It’s an life-saving opportunity."

I wish more sports leagues followed the European football tradition of reserving a section of the stadium for the away team’s fans Really adds to the atmosphere

I’m happy to lose the followers because I always assumed “most of them are fake” Now I can claim “most of them are inactive”

Maybe a hot take but I think we need to graduate from the “Higher [X]” naming convention It gives the impression that there are “official” programs (versus a permissionless brand/network) Plus we’ll run out of nouns eventually :)
