I'm OK being left behind, thanks!

I'm OK being left behind, thanks!

Many years ago, someone tried to get me into cryptocurrencies. "They're the future of money!" they said. I replied saying that I'd rather wait until they were more useful, less volatile, easier to use, and utterly reliable. "You don't want to get left behind, do you?" They countered. That struck me as a bizarre sentiment. What is there to be left behind from? If BitCoin (or whatever) is going…

@Javvad I love jumping into new technologies just because I'm forever curious about everything, but I hate this "MAXING" culture.

  • You've got to make the MOST gains
  • Build the MOST muscle
  • Bro, do you even lift?
  • You've got to have AI agents read all the blog posts, consume all the podcasts
  • You've got to stop drinking, and turn your sleep into a science experiment because your brain needs to be at 100%, not 93%, you LOSER
  • You've got to take all the supplements and get into all the nutrition fads to squeak out an extra 5 weeks of lifespan when you're 93 years old
  • You've got to use all the AI so you're as efficient as possible, you should be ashamed if even a minute of your day is wasted
  • LOL, you wrote that blog BY HAND? What a loser, one prompt to OpenClaw and all my writing is done
  • You have to get status on airlines, be the first to board, loser
  • You haven't written a book yet? You poor thing, let me share my AI process I used to slop out my last self-published release, I'm sure you want to do the same and the only reason anyone wants to publish a book is just to say they've published a book

The thing that cracks me up is that all this maxxing results in a lot of STRESS, which last time I checked, isn't good for productivity OR your health.

Besides, the very things I get pleasure out of are the things these maxxers are trying to avoid. Why would I have an agent create content for me? I love creating content, that's WHY I DO IT in the first place.

It's not the means to a paycheck for me, my brain rewards me for writing things down and creating conversation with them.

@wendynather @sawaba im glad the gif was tagged as sensitive content... but nothing could have prepared me for what I had to witness Wendy!
@Javvad @sawaba Aren’t you used to it by now though?
