The rot is real. We'll scrutinize every molecule in a vaccine that's saving lives, but won't ask questions about #AI that's being weaponized against real people in real time - all in the pursuit of profit. The "poison" is in the infrastructure. It's in the feed, the algorithm, the synthetic images training our kids on what's normal. I'm no luddite. This is unconscionable.

You Can't Trust Your Eyes To Tell You What's Real Anymore, Says Instagram Head

Creation doesn’t begin with inspiration — it begins with questioning.

Myles points to the part we often skip: before anything new can take shape, we have to interrupt the habits we’ve stopped examining. Wetiko hides in the unquestioned — in the reflexes that feel natural but aren’t actually ours.

The work is small and steady:
Pause.
Ask the real questions.
Let something different begin.

A lot of my purpose with this account has been about letting go of my past pains, embracing change and sharing some example for moving forward as I personally keep noticing healing & connection with nature. Exploring, what can we learn from that? Feeling an end of this era, a new chapter to create. Im changing my lifestyle to some degree, a place Ive come to know. This feels strange to admit but this little box on wheels has been more of my home than anywhere else Ive lived these past five years. Ive worked many seasonal & remote jobs to create time for a nomadic lifestyle. I took a minimalist approach; recognizing & experimentally embracing you can do more with less. Slowly discovering many cross over philosophies with technology enthusiasts who love to embrace terms like FOSS, Libre, FLO and others alike. Pondering if many in technology fields seem to share similar views & values with ski bums, dirtbags and nomads? Ive met so many incredible people along the way and experiencing how healing it is when we genuinely connect. 

The change for me now is of great importance to reflect. To follow through on realizing the healing wouldn't be complete without helping more people ahead. The silence was good, the isolation had peace but the final words of Chris McCandless still strike me deep: "Happiness is only real, when shared." Nothing lasts forever but letting go does feel uncomfortable. Setting my own intention for a mountain mindset based around sharing an appreciation, a love & respect for the land & people. I might have taken a simple approach to experiencing a complex world. And if theres anything Id still like to learn... is it better in life to ask questions than to give answers?

Do you remember when you stopped asking why?

Somewhere between childhood and adulting, we traded curiosity for compliance and learned to accept answers at face value. We learned to stop asking questions.

And that's how we end up solving the wrong problems.

Some people are not easily fooled or convinced. And if you are not that type of person yourself, it is good to be close to someone who is.
