The future isn’t exhausting because of how fast it moves.

It’s exhausting because nothing ever stays still long enough to master it.

The Exhaustion of Permanent Disruption

The Slow Death of Mastery

Westenberg.

@Daojoan "The most productive people I know have a defensive near-conservatism about their tools. They find something that works and they stick with it as long as possible....."

Thank you for this paragraph. It's very validating. 😊

"Near-conservatism?"

Case matters! Consider C and c.

"Conservatism" means "violent bigoted hateful white-supremacist racist sexist self-aggrandizing solipsistic grasping stupid ignorant rigid stubborn anti-human cruel sadistic petty infantile self-defeatingly self-destructively vindictive bronze-age omnicidal willfully-ignorant know-nothing anti-rationalist superstitious hidebound joyless prudish masochistic bootlicking blindly allegiant cultically faithful self-hating death-wish cowardly cringing terrified paranoid closeted perversion."

While "conservatism" means "cautious skepticism regarding investment in change."

One I will give my life to defeat, the other I have lived long enough to recommend.
