we finally figured out how to say ‘this meeting could’ve been an email’ without saying it

you can literally just realise and release things into existence

ai enables zero-cost prototyping. used to be: idea → sketch → refine → mock up → iterate → prototype → maybe. now: idea → generate → validate → release. tbh I think we were early to experiment with this in higher last year & why it felt creatively explosive and energising

was messing around in chatgpt and mocked up some merch ideas for mad genius (my newsletter) in ~2 mins. the cost of imagining something into existence is now basically zero. what an insane timeline we live in.

freelance is this weird ongoing experiment in rethinking work and what i'm actually optimising for. "how do I structure my day for max efficiency?" yields a different reality than "what conditions make the weird good thing more likely to happen?" one creates a prison of optimisation; the other ups the odds of magic.

a theory i keep circling back to: people who post prolifically tend to have very rich inner monologues. they’re already narrating their lives internally. posting is just externalising that to cognitively offload.

higher's value is months of compounding effort—art, prods, clubs, experiments + casts. but its true worth lies in its memetic resonance, the speed of its collabs, the skill of the collective + the multiplying magic of a permissionless network. mindshare fuels marketshare and marketshare amplifies mindshare
