Superpower announced a $30M round, claiming it is 10x better than an annual physical: > at-home / in-person lab draw > 100+ labs + data visualization > medical records in app > personalized action plan > 24/7 help only dif between this and now-defunct Forward is that Forward had brick + mortar locations 🤔

idk why it’s so hard for some people to be like “hey i don’t agree with you entirely or maybe even at all but you do make a good point about XYZ”

i haven’t done the personal work to process this yet but (i say this as someone who owns a vision pro and has a few AI subs) my first reaction to the cluely ad was that i’d rather key management system than live in that world https://x.com/im_roy_lee/status/1914061483149001132?s=46&t=rxAVkMPnT_8alZYrwLqp6g

thought-provoking piece via @shantmm on how social media rewards performance over virtue, fueling a "crisis of masculinity". the author posits that w/o physical presence, conflict loses its bonding potential and devolves into emotional posturing: gossip, exclusion, purity spirals (behavior more common to women vs men). online, men are incentivized to escalate for engagement rather than resolve for respect. traditional masculine virtues of restraint, honor, and accountability don’t go viral; instead, men perform identities instead of building character and learning how to connect w/ each other (and w/ women). he writes, "the capacity to cultivate virtues is part of what makes us human. online interactions disrupt those capacities." they *can* disrupt, but not always: @keccers.eth and i (both women) squabble online all the time, but she is my ride-or-die. i'd go to war with her. our online tension has made our bond stronger, not weaker. think this piece gives more credit to the algo than it deserves.

huge CONGRATS to @hyper on his new role at Arena Mag! we need more writing from technoptimists. one of my favorite Arena mag pieces is back in December with the legend Kyla Scanlon (yes, my dream for her to join FC). ps cannot believe their next issue will actually feature crypto; will believe it when i see it :)

much like @mazmhussain, @terrelljstarr delivers on-the-ground reporting from the center of conflict. s/o to @irinaliakh for introducing him to FC. one of the most encouraging parts about a wave of indie journalists joining FC is that it shows us (or at least me) that mainstream media or news =/= all journalists.
