Yes. Writing is not a second thing that happens after thinking. The act of writing is an act of thinking. Writing *is* thinking. Students, academics, and anyone else who outsources their writing to LLMs will find their screens full of words and their minds emptied of thought.

This left me in tears…so good. “…how a single person can become a vehicle for so many others' most personal hopes; how they can find, in her, a sense of belonging that’s otherwise in short supply.” nytimes.com/interactive/2023…

This whole thread is worth reading but calling out... #1 Social media risk and related crisis comms has to be factored into every plan #2 Transparency is critical #3 Build up repetitional "currency" before it is needed

The only way I see to combat this is for firms to have a stronger social media presence, one that they take seriously, not just to push certain social messaging and promotions.

What if you could actually go back in time, and tell yourself what will happen in your own future? Would you choose to know? Or would you choose to be surprised… to find out along the way? Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is a mystery. But today is a gift... (cont. below) – at Mareo, Trentino-South Tyrol

as i’ve said on this website before, you don’t have to believe that burning fossil fuel in your home is bad for your health to want to switch to an induction range. the reason to do it is that it is objectively superior to cooking with gas. higher heat with more precise control.

both devin chandler and lavel davis were my students. devin was in my class in spring 2022, and lavel is in my class this semester. I am so indescribably sad right now but I wanted to share a few memories of them, because they were wonderful people

It’s an honor to be on this month’s @FastCompany “Brands That Matter” cover. @thenorthface has supported me in accomplishing my biggest dreams, but my most fulfilling role has been working with the Explore Fund Council to create more equity and access in the outdoors.
