@pfista Haha. A declaration while I figure out the details.

I am text social and don’t want to lose all of that and I do like to stay up to speed with major AI development. But the rest I’d like to live without for a year.

I think it’s doable.

[jtgi ⌐🆇-🆇 @jtgi]

I’ll quit social media for 2026.

[jtgi ⌐🆇-🆇 @jtgi]

I want to be as out of touch as possible with short term trends, short term content and especially algorithms.

I’ll write somewhere. Maybe a newsletter.

A belief that really solidified for me this year is that if you are a romantic, and want to see the world full of magic and love, you have to create it.

Host the dinner party, send the flowers, write the note, share the compliment, put up the decorations, plan the outing, so on and so forth.

The default state of life is decay. To create a world that is warm and wonderful and one you and others want to participate in, you really have to work at it.

The good news is, it doesn't take that much work at all.

"Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light."

@levelsio At least in the USA and Canada we have lots of exposure to Chinese culture growing up.

Vancouver is 25%, sf 20% chinese, for example.

@_quence_ @dmtrubman honestly never connected covid to this behavior

@DCinvestor I’m tired of them inferring things through non explicit signals:
1. It’s circular, they show me stuff and ofc I interact with some of it
2. I don’t always have the discipline to skip things, especially shocking things

[jtgi ⌐🆇-🆇 @jtgi]

@DCinvestor keep getting anti immigrant public transit dangers (nyc), geolocation seems heavy influence

i really just want to say, in plain English, “don’t show me murder or assault”, “hide viral videos” etc

also, like me just plainly influence the algorithm: “I’m interested in finance”
