The #sharingeconomy began w/ great promise but soon sold out to venture capital. Using tech to be less wasteful initially made sense but all turned sour once core values were sacrificed for profit alone. Ideas that were meant to solve problems ended up intensifying them—a classic case of inversion.

So much for “making cities better…”

Currently my solution: create & support places of pleasure/nurturance/calm that are not too expensive, share them as often as you can.
