Trying out a 9:16 here for the girlies of the 1800s.

(Also, doing this little show and tell brought out my guest-adult-on-Sesame-Street-voice for some reason. Didn’t want to re-record it so forgive me. 🙉)

Building a little space by the ocean at /thenextwave and watching everything on /videolab.

Great history lesson aside, explaining clearly for 90 seconds in one shot is impressive in today's over edited content feeds!!

We used to polish content because we loved it. Now we polish because we’re scared not to.

Raw > perfect. Scrappy > smooth. Real > rehearsed.

No transitions. No lighting tricks. Just signal.

In a feed full of AI gloss, imperfection is proof of life.

I didn't think of it consciously when I picked up the phone to record, but looking back I may have been influenced by @joanwestenberg.eth's video last night: https://farcaster.xyz/joanwestenberg.eth/0xd883f937. One of many excellent videos, by the way.

I write about tech + humans + philosophy. Skeptical tech optimist, EA aligned, building internet businesses.
