🤔 "Peaks" or "Summits" might be more accurate than "Plateaus" actually

[Stephan Bogner @st_phan]

A thought I had:
Quality comes in plateaus

1 / 6

[Stephan Bogner @st_phan]

6 / 6

I think being aware of the constraints (e.g. time or budget) and choosing the right plateau is important.

The audience cares about the final outcome, not the effort spent.

On the flip side this means enjoyment is essentially detached from effort:

Why @YouTube Premium will only get more expensive:
(When Premium is great for you, it's terrible for YT and vice versa)

The mindset of the two first search results couldn't be further apart 😅

It‘s like short films vs. feature films IMO.

ChatGPT writes answers how humans wrote them before SEO made everything terrible

I am writing an essay once again 🙂

My take on William Gibson's famous quote:
❝The f̶u̶t̶u̶r̶e̶ dystopia is already here — it's just not very evenly distributed.❞

[Stephan Bogner @st_phan]

I got the feeling that the more precisely ones tries to define something, the blurrier it becomes:

• What’s a sandwich?
• What’s a continent?
• What‘s a soul?
• What‘s life?

Maybe it should be called ❝collatoral damage efficiency❞ to describe a tipping point where something generally good becomes ruthless

[Stephan Bogner @st_phan]

Extreme efficiency is:
• The friend of costs
• The enemy of life itself

[Stephan Bogner @st_phan]

Examples for „Enemy of life itself“:
• Mono cultures in agriculture
• Amazon workers peeing in bottles
• Stress induced diseases
• Highly processed foods
