thought dump in lieu of a journal:

- if a grocery story is playing mt joy or khruangbin, your wallet is cooked

- the rise of clipping farms and AI brainrot will give rise to a new class of human curators (aka people with taste that other people trust for their information diet; we already see this for a) playlists for music and b) newsletters for long-form text content)

- “until death, all defeat is psychological”

- one of the most incredible features of social media is how it lets us see that everyone’s life is so different and i don’t think we appreciate the beauty of that enough

- “loneliness in late adulthood is deadlier than smoking. indeed, once you’re over 65, you’re better off smoking, drinking, and overeating with your friends than you are sitting at home alone.”

- as we get older, friendships ebb and flow and relationships don’t always work out. that’s life, but what i find myself missing most (almost viscerally) are the shared routines: morning coffee, sunday dinners, etc.

Content curators, people with taste, have zero social status. Here’s how to solve:

An app called @-a-boy (or girl) where users curate links to content that already exists with “@ttribution”

Success is measured in time and engagement driven from their playlists - 100 hrs of watch time, 10K new follows, etc.

Emerging creators try to get their content featured in the most valuable playlists

Because winning just one curator can mean winning thousands of new fans and followers
