I find myself wondering often - will I one day wake up + find myself fully IN that world, communicating in ways that others not on the inside just can't penetrate? Or will something in me always resist that and believe that we should be able to communicate things simply and accessibly? Any thoughts?

Aging is so underrated. Your peers are more interesting, and conversations richer. You're able to revisit books you first read twenty years ago. There is less jealousy, and God willing less pride. It's just a great time of life, aside from the thing that contains you (or is you) falling apart.

Hahaha agreed. I also hate spreadsheets and so will join you in the chaos of searching through all communication streams for fragments of information

Hahaha this is SO relatable! I need to streamline all my communications, I think, to one platform per person, and then make a spreadsheet of who I talk to about what, where. Good luck!

interestingly seeing a great film they were involved in was one of the things that made me think about this question!

So I’m wondering if anyone can signpost me to a) literature about this phenomenon, or b) examples of orga that ‘do’ arts in a very mutual-learning kinda way? Like, one that creates opportunities for co-creation in ways that are reciprocal and recognise gifts on all sides?

Just read this one. Loved it too. Thank you.
