This is my conversational account. For my work follow @ribbonfarm, @breaking_smart, @artofgig. Tweets are 90% vacuous views, apathetically held. Mediocritopian.

          Least popular as people dislike it or people disagree? I'm in the "this is obvious" camp since getting over my search for meaning phase

          This makes so much sense to me. In danger of bastardizing but living 'above the fray' (quantum-esque) seems a desirable lifestyle design.

          Of course, diverging optimally (growing) would also then mean subverting the desire to design.

          IMO we are reverting back to default tribal states and tech networks helping atomize, amplify and accelerate. Network protocols only unifier
