        1/A decade ago, I took my first device-free, solitude experience. Ten years and 100s of “solos” later, I can say with confidence that if I could give any bit of advice to my younger me it would be to spend at least one day a week in device-free solitude.

        Rough summary/takeaways of "Sovereign Individual" (written in 90s): The thesis is that the internet is going to lead to unbundling & modularizing of government. We'll transition from being a "citizen" of gov'ts to a "customer", + the change will mirror other tech revolutions.

        One of the generator functions behind global problems we face today is that society is built on rivalrous (zero-sum) dynamics, instead of anti rivalrous (positive-sum) ones This is unsustainable,+ in order to solve our problems we need to address the root cause. Thinking aloud:
