- Technology can be a bicycle for the mind,
A tool to help humanity become the best it can be...
If we create an algorithm that gets the perfect gift for everybody,
That at first sounds amazing...but would miss the point completely...

What Took You So Long?
great
This is just great
This is beautiful, so well put.
Short and to the point. The more we allocate technological agents to interface with our needs, the more disenfranchised we are from those interactions. In doing so the human element is removed from our products and our personal growth. Thank you for this video. Funnel
thought provoking, & concise.
Would love to see the full text of the poem!
Technology can be a bicycle for the mind.
A tool to help humanity become the best it can be
And frankly...that sounds lovely...
But somewhere along the way we seemed to underestimate
The ease at which machines could switch on and off our reptile brains...
That what we built could actually manipulate
Our minds desires and society
The fabric of this world we’ve made
That these little screens could overtake
The life that they’re supposedly “capturing”
We shouldn’t throw it all away...
There’s so much value that they bring
Technology is human ingenuity
Its magic practically
But somewhere along the line
We let these systems rearrange
The way we value everything.
This place was founded upon values
But like so much of society pointing technology
at these...
is more complicated than it seems.
If We
create an algorithm that got the perfect gift for everybody,
that at first sounds amazing...but would miss the point completely.
It would lose all the magic that comes from people gifting
The thoughtfulness the serendipity and the effort that we put in
If robots cleaned the playa we wouldn’t have to pick up anything...
But we’d miss the lived experience of caring for the space we’re in
We’d miss the lesson the intention the reason for it’s creation.
Sometimes the answer isn’t the answer
Sometimes questions are the answer and sometimes getting lost is the only way to find our way.
Whats the point of all this innovation if we sacrifice the things that make live worth living
If we sacrifice meaning in pursuit of efficiency
If we isolate ourselves in search of connectedness
If we lose our “why?” in pursuit of success
If we become mindless in our pursuit of progress?
Life happens fast and is over in an instant.
Technology happens faster and if we don’t insist
on designing it to value our humanity then we just might lose it.
How can we use technology thoughtfully?
How can we start minimally and carefully
Checking in along the way on what we’re losing as we’re gaining.
This space has always been a playground on which to innovate,
And this will always be the case.
But as we move into the future and as we create
the next wave
Of existence... how can we do so with our radical humanity.
Und Jetzt?
