Never stop saying "dozen" and "half dozen". Never stop using the word you read in an old novella. Never stop using your regional jargon. Don't succumb to an internationalized English stripped of its whimsy and romanticism in the name of streamlining global commerce.

Palantir, a CIA front company, now has its tentacles in the food supply, our healthcare data, our growing autonomous weapons industry, the military, the entire US intelligence community, border patrol, Space Force and so on.

Call your energy back out of every rabbit hole. Eventually you fall down enough of them to recognize that being distracted and pulled in a million different direction is just an old trick to keep you from successfully fulfilling your actual assignment. Stop diluting your focus.
