I've been playing the hermit for some time, now, and just now discovered Jared's work. It's just stunning in honesty and clarity. I'm in the process of reading "American Rule" and have "The Midnight Kingdom" waiting. (oldest first) His insight is invaluable.
We've already got a whole generation who don't know how to use a map or find information without Google. Getting to the point we can't even think for ourselves without a 5G connection and enough computational power to run a small country. Scary times. I worry what would happen if power/internet were down for any significant length of is time.
Great commentary/observation!!! It summarizes quite well my own skepticism not only regarding the deleterious impact on the psyche of doing things the easy way but the enormous environmental impacts of multiple, redundant, huge data centers. Further, since most AI models are trained on historical "human" writing, in the future there will be only AI results to train new models leading to truly a GIGO model of life. NOTE: You have a typo - "driven" should be "drivel" in the passage below: "...allowing it to cannibalize everything and regurgitate meaningless driven while replacing..."
The days of hard work is the way of the future has long disappeared. Back in the 90’s, a high school dropout said he didn’t need school because he had a calculator. But he didn’t know how to use it!! It was mind boggling then. So it’s a habit now.
Brilliantly argued. I couldn't agree more. The text would profit from one more pass for a few extremely minor typos I noticed (and possibly some I didn't).
Thank you for clearly explaining what I've been feeling for years.

You are in for a treat!

This is one of my biggest worries (internet down) and being cut-off from communication.

Such helpful framing. Thanks, Jared. xo
I couldn't agree more. I think we need to somehow encourage people to do more artistic expression. That helps us become present.

Once again, Jared provides the connective tissue between seemingly unconnected subjects -- I'd say "genius," but I don't want to embarrass him ;-)
