There's an unbelievably massive divergence in vibes between my IRL friends and my terminally-online crypto friends

Most of my IRL frens lean liberal and are acting like the world is imploding... they're psychologically rekt, scared and angry

Meanwhile, crypto frens feel free at last and are utterly captivated by what's happening in tech, space, AI, etc. Honestly, never felt so bipolar/started questioning my own sanity so deeply

But under all the political strife, the economic weirdness, and the bizarre philosophical questions that AI is forcing us to confront lies one simple fact: technological change continues to accelerate

The battle is no longer left vs. right... this generation's war = technologists vs humanists/luddites

Futurist telling stories about crypto and AI at Delphi Labs. Proposed the BRC-20, Bascii and Asteroid standards.

I find my world becoming increasingly compartmentalized, e.g. work, friends, news, etc.

I see AI unlocking it, but I fear it will erode my ability to distinguish differences between the groups

Regularly detaching from tech and connecting IRL will need to be prioritized

Agreed... The algos are getting too strong and hypnotic. Think we should all prioritize listening to more music and touching more grass
