Something’s off and you feel it too. Not broken. Not crazy. Just… awake to something most people are still sleepwalking through. I spent 30 months trying to make sense of it. I think I finally have. This is the first of 365 posts. One a day. A path through. I think… Come with me if you want. 🙏
10) The average person touches their phone 2,617 times per day. That’s not a habit. That’s a hijack. And the executives who designed these systems? They send their kids to tech-free schools. They know what they built. They just don’t let their own families use it. That should tell you everything.

9) The product isn’t the app. The product is you. Your attention gets auctioned to advertisers in real-time. Your data gets sold to brokers you’ve never heard of. Your behavior patterns get packaged and shipped to whoever pays. You’re not the customer being served. You’re the inventory being sold.

Your attention is the most valuable thing you own. That’s not poetry. That’s economics. The entire internet runs on harvesting it. Every swipe, click, scroll, and second your eyeballs stay on screen gets monetized. Your focus isn’t respected. It’s extracted. And resold to the highest bidder. Daily.

One week down. Still here? Good. This isn’t about doom scrolling through despair. It’s about seeing clearly so we can build differently. The unease you feel isn’t weakness. It’s signal. It’s data. It’s your nervous system telling you something is deeply wrong. Next week we trace where it comes from.

6) The notification is a slot machine pull. The red dot is a trigger designed by behavioral psychologists. The infinite scroll is a trap with no bottom. The autoplay exists so you never choose to stop. None of this is accidental. It’s all engineered. You are the product being optimized. Not served.

5) When’s the last time you were actually bored? Not waiting-for-something bored. Actually bored. Nothing to scroll. Nowhere to swipe. Just you and your thoughts. We’ve filled every gap with input. Every silence with noise. Every moment with content. And we wonder why we’re so beyond exhausted.

4) I used to think I was the problem. Too anxious. Too sensitive. Couldn’t just relax and enjoy things like “normal people.” Then I realized everyone else was struggling too. They were just better at hiding it. The system isn’t failing. It’s working exactly as designed. We’re just not the customers.

3) The exhaustion that sleep doesn’t fix. The scroll that never satisfies. The achievement that doesn’t fill the hole. The connection that leaves you lonelier. If you know exactly what I’m talking about, you’re not alone. You’re not imagining it. And it’s not your fault. Something is very wrong.

You know that feeling when you put your phone down but your brain keeps scrolling? That hollow hum that won’t quit? That’s not a personal failing. That’s engineering. Someone designed that feeling. Someone got a bonus for it. You’re not broken. You’re being harvested. There’s a difference.

I’m not sure enough people are talking about the fact that @petertheil.bsky.social is currently giving a 4 part, 16 hour lecture series on how Greta Thunberg is the antichrist and he’s the second coming of Jesus ready to save us all by teaming up with Israel and trump to bring about the rapture…

This week, the Global Sumud Flotilla tried to deliver life-saving aid to Gaza.
Instead, 461 people—including New Yorkers—have been detained by the Israeli military.
They must be freed at once. And the deliberate starvation of Palestinians must end now.

STEPHANOPOULOS: Hold on a second. Answer the question. As Speaker, do you believe it's appropriate to use American cities as training grounds for the military, calling those people 'the enemy within'?
JOHNSON: I'm not comment on your characterization of what the president said.
S: Those are quotes

Curtis Sliwa and I don't agree on much. But we do agree on this: City Hall is not for sale.
You can't say the same for Cuomo or Adams.

When this is all over anyone who ever worked for ICE needs to show up on maps for the rest of their lives the way sex offenders currently do

I was back at 26 Federal Plaza today, where an ICE agent violently threw this bereft woman to the ground in front of her kids. She had not touched him. She did not pose any threat. She had to be taken to the hospital. (🎥: Elias Eliahu)

Sickening behavior by this agent. The fact that Mayor Adams has rolled out the red carpet for ICE is a stain on our city.

If even I can take a joke, imagine how small a man must be if he can’t.

Been messing around with building my own local models and ecosystems.
Just had me pause and take a moment when it all failed and nothing happened because of a single broken cpu pin…
There’s a staggering enormity of human accomplishment that’s happened to get us to this moment across all levels
