>ve seen firsthand in my career that people who were open to opportunities advanced much farther than I did because I closed myself to all of them, waving them away, acting cynical about the whole endeavor. I wish I hadn't done that. I just wasn't seeing what my coworkers were seeing.
I needed to read that. Thank you.
The internet is becoming more obviously homogeneous and obviously a hive mind. It's been trending that way for years, but it's going to lead to They Live being remade or a war of independence or both.
- kqr 7y ago> The internet is becoming more obviously homogeneous and obviously a hive mind. Not at all the case. What has happened is that more people have gotten online, and we've realised how convenient it is to only spend time with the group of people that are exactly like us, so we're not actively looking for the out-of-tribe experiences that came to us naturally before. But they're still there.
