What does intentional community look like when it’s designed for both deep work and real life (including families)?
Don't miss our Season 2 conversation with @JanineLeger, co-founder of @joinEdgeCity...
AI isn't taking your job. It's rewriting who does it and how value gets assigned.
And if that scares you @itslilyszabo has a blunt question: do you actually provide human value, or are you just a cog in an institutional machine?

Millennials were raised to believe traditionalism is bad.
@itslilyszabo thinks that was a psyop.
The point of the thing is what it does, not what it says it does. We replaced the village with institutions, and now is the time to go back.

Why exactly are people scared AI will take their job?
@itslilyszabo's take on the Amagi Village Podcast: if AI can do your job, maybe the problem isn't the tech — it's whether your work had real meaning in the first place.
Nobody says they use writing as a tool. You become your writing.
@__drewface argues AI is the same shift. The people who get that have an extended mind, not just a faster workflow. Cyborgism is the word he uses.

Work-life balance is the wrong frame. Life is the whole thing. Work is just one input.
The goal was never balance. It was always to build something worth living.
@__drewface shares his insights from creating Fractal NYC's scene.
Obligatory generosity is worse than honest selfishness. "We should host a dinner party" means nobody is hosting it.
The courageous version: "I wish someone would do this."
Real data. Something a group can act on.

Most community experiments head for the frontier: rural land, charter cities, popup villages. @__drewface went the other direction. He built Fractal in New York City — convinced the problem was never geography, but culture. 🧵
We get into: why scenes die when they become about themselves, the "group hug of death", AI as new cultural medium rather than tool, the liberal arts as a technology of civilization, and why education that pretends to have no values produces a generation with a crisis of meaning.
Also: what having a daughter inside a community built for ambitious young people revealed about what community can and cannot replace. One of the more honest things said on this podcast.
