I have been thinking about the future and how we might respond to it. We are sliding into a period of transition like no other, most likely triggered in three waves; AI, quantum computing and the brain computer interface. Artists have a role to look into the mists and, when they catch sight of something, to hold up a mirror.

These are my lumpy bits i/o: the inside has a new way out and o\i: the outside has a new way in.

We are not, and have never been, the exclusively self-determining, independent beings that have been given the run of the world. We are something else, a part of nature, a part of everything and feeling a connection, shaking our booty and giving and receiving some love can help us find our place - and put a big smile on our faces.

The leading edge is defined by the fact that most of us aren’t on it.

🔗 What if Ed Zitron is an optimist?

Transformative innovation is priced in to the Big Tech stocks including their legacy businesses, and there’s only so much remaining crime that they can use to fill in the gaps between investor expectations and what they can realistically deliver. Yes, buying a gilded ballroom for the President of the USA will help them get away with more crime for longer, but in the absence of newly created value they can’t keep extracting more and more. The disruption from the coming AI crash could result in a decline in some other revenue streams previously considered safe.

Only a fool dismisses the collective knowledge passed down by those who came before us.

It would be hard to disagree. AND it isn’t just in tech … and design - there do seem to be an increasing number of ‘fools’ in the world across all disciplines. AND they are given louder and louder megaphones.

Maybe the real FOOLS are the enablers.
