Exceptional IRL. Mediocre online.
I think it all comes back to this attention economy. Nuanced debate doesn’t sell and very few people want to question their assumptions. But, public policy is almost never a binary choice.

Barlow basically did too. Hunter didn’t have much more. Garcia’s net worth in ‘95 was less than than this shmuck makes per year

It’s weird, right? Like wtf?!

On a related note, I spent some time today trying to wrap my head around the weight that Bill must be feeling standing alone as an OG on this side of the veil. I hope he feels our love

It’s good to connect and share. This is obviously just my own perspective. The amazing thing about life, though, is we all get to place our own attention, choose our own adventure, and create our own mythology

Among other things, this is what i take away from the music of the Grateful Dead. Life is full of feelings, many of them difficult, but love transcends time and space and darkness too. In other words, “winter gray and falling rain, we'll see summer come again.” Always and forever

What you say is true, but it’s important to remember there is even more to be happy and grateful about. IMO focus and intention is everything. It’s an extra challenge in today’s tech driven attention economy, but if we want to see it, all the beauty that ever was is still right here

And yet life goes on and exponential beauty continues unfolding ❤️

It’s beautiful beyond words

More than a few. I may experience time and opportunity as more expansive than you, but I think I understand what you’re saying

The pendulum is swinging

As I pressed send on this I realized how important a few silly throwaway experiences like these really were and how much they are relevant today. Ecstatic art and joy activated like radiation therapy in America’s body to counteract the bleak disconnection of the Bush administration

This is the way
