Struck by a market-making provocation from today: "Imagine a world where you love how you make choices and you love how you're directing your attention, because tech inventors are competing to figure out how best to help you live as you intend."

Funny to contrast the ubiquitous to-do app's model with intentions which might deeply matter to someone, like "I want to make sure I'm taking my ideas as seriously as possible." Tasks are such a misleading way of thinking about intention. But hey, it's easier to build a to-do UI!

I wonder for what % of people the key bottlenecks to “loving the way one makes choices” can be influenced by consumer products at all. For me, actually, I think they can be! But it’s easy to imagine the issue being, say, family / physical health / money / etc

I read recently that the Silicon Valley perspective of the world is that all problems need to be solved with products. Even here in a dissenting voice, it’s seems like the suggestion is that the cure to consumerism is consumerism.
