I will have some thoughts when I am ready to think

Everyone is doing everything always

There is this awful reeking sense that we have to constantly be busy. The ‘birth’ of these agentic systems only makes that more pervasive.

There is a Marc Andreeson quote that of course comes to mind but is frankly too foul to repeat. Denegrating both those with a mental disability and revealing waaaaaaay too much about himself.

I think he deleted it at this point, but to spare you the agony, he talked about ‘r-word-maxxing’ and then spent a week going on and on about how bad introspection is.

Having a head that bulbous and having 0 thoughts in it seems like an evolutionary impossibility, but here we are.

But there are levels to it

and rumination is a brutal trap that so many people fall into. Myself included. A bias towards action is important, but itf you never think about your words you end up tweeting 12 hours a day and deleting half of them. If that’s how you want to live, go right ahead, but for me that’s a pass.

Serenity comes AFTER introspection

it never arrives without it. If you never spend time with your own thoughts it is because you are actively hiding from them. Maybe you are afraid of what your mind really thinks of what you’re doing day in and day out for a dollar. Maybe you can’t look yourself in the eyes in the mirror. So many of these disgusting creatures at the top of tech talk so boldly about empathy being a weakness, introspection being an illness and yet somehow these are also the most emotionally fragile people you’ve ever met.

I’ve got nothing more here, I’ll think a bit more, write a bit more, and maybe focus more on tech in the future.
