i have a sort of confession this summer i decided to stop writing my weekly newsletter. i stopped feeling like i had anything important to say. it is true i get bored easily and need new things to excite me (Gemini), but i also just wasn't feeling like it was especially helpful for me. now when i do get the inspiration to write it feels more aligned, more thoughtful, more filled with care. along those lines, because I rarely write about technical topics I've been thinking about crypto as a writing angle less and more for curation of ideas, as I'm sure you've seen here. I think about tech in general as a path toward love and being and that should align much more often than it does. maybe this means I'm at a sort of crossroads but I think more than that it just means coming into a type of realization/actualization that keeps me on the outside. all this to say, i feel very dumb and I'm not sure of the path to take next, so we'll see how this turns out.

Can relate to feeling unsure - I don't feel inspired to write about crypto these days because it feels so overwhelming and yet lacking in substance.

definitely overwhelming and more often than not, further than lacking in substance, just so much less useful than developers imagine. just social games and brain-numbing emptiness
