I loved this piece.

I can see the value in that but also I've got my fingers in other work(s) treating the subject more comprehensively (multi-decade/future) - which is, I think, very needed. I sort of want to pull a bunch of people into a recording/podcast once it's all out...or cartoon. A GIGANTIC hand-drawn cartoon.

The hell is that March spike?

Same, but there are risks. I'm from NY. I talk really fast (but have learned to slow down to accommodate others). That + caffeine = Bad.

I think the reason will overlap why Twilight was such a big deal. I don't actually have a grand theory though...

Yes to this. Need an emoji for "I acknowledge the validity of your argument, also here's a pie for your face"

I wonder if otherwise-healthy people start having allergies to things like technology or social media after too much exposure. Like an evolutionary protection mechanism.

I wonder if this is just me, but I deal with technology in the form of supercomputers on the cloud for work and when I'm not working, I basically want everything to be Stone Age-friendly. It's like going to the mall - I've got a set time (20min) I can deal with shopping and then I just run out.

Totally legitimate. I only get pissed when people (who I do not work in and admin role for. which is zero people.) ask me to "send them a reminder". We all have calendars.

No, this really *IS* a compliment. I think pretty much any actual structural change involves databases, spreadsheets and a lot of people having to read some well-written manual. Bullshit changes tend to come in the form of "rousing speeches". Which are fun, but usually useless.

YES. TO. THIS. (a simple "like" was insufficient)

Actually... I research precipitation on Antarctica and my first reaction to that headline was "F@#$KING PROVE IT"
