@round The medium is the message.
The screen is the protagonist.

@adam__xyz yeah…and while we have a button for flagging or blocking .spam. on most incoming media channels, we’ve yet to see a .slop. button as well.

@adam__xyz @balajis Maybe I’m focusing too heavily on ‘Hollywood’ as ‘the movie execs in CA’.. because ex-adaptations, I don’t recall any recent ‘great story’ out of Hollywood? Europe and Asia, yes, but Hollywood!?

Elon takes it to an unhealthy extreme and has described his life as a tormented existence, but there’s a balance to be struck.

Any organization that designs a system will produce a design whose structure is a copy of the organization's communication structure.

High agency is an addiction to the thrill of discovery and subsequent flood of adrenaline from figuring ‘it’ out.
