A bit of a black pill meme, but I'm actually not that pessimistic.
Gigi's post here about video games is happening everywhere. I feel it in my corner within the visual arts. But it just underscores the need to start and support companies and projects that resist the movement to SaaS everything.
I'm also reminded of Proverbs 13:22
"A good man leaves an inheritance to his children's children"
There are many forces working against our ability to do this, but it shouldn't stop of from marrying, having babies, teaching them real skills, acquiring real tangible goods that we can pass down, having real tangible relationships in real tangible communities, gathering in real tangible buildings...the things people have done for thousands of years. These things are the real rebellion.
Also, thank God for bitcoin.
"teaching them real skills, acquiring real tangible goods that we can pass down, having real tangible relationships in real tangible communities, gathering in real tangible buildings...the things people have done for thousands of years. These things are the real rebellion."
Couldn't have said it any better!
My entire life lead me to this exact same conclusion!
"Also, thank God for bitcoin."
And thank God for Bitcoiners, my true beacon of hope! 🫂💜
