I’m curious why the author choose to publish his message on the internet vs. walking door to door to spread it.
It’s almost as if his desire to use technology was to collapse the process between idea and transmission.
I appreciate a nostalgia for process to some extent. I enjoyed my 200km walk across the mountains Corsica far more than the plane ride from New Mexico to France…
However it’s possible that you can actually become more aware of and participate in the larger process.
Are I here to spend a month hand drawing my logo and refining it, or am I here to build an AI disaster response system to save a million lives?
While I can see the appeal of these sort of arguments, and agree with much of it, I’m not sold on the value of process in itself in the larger arc of the process of creating actual value for the world.
- scyzoryk_xyz 2y agoI guess let us know when you actually deliver that “AI disaster response system” because that’s the wild leap in your logic there. The author did not choose to express that it should all be done by hand. His point is that there is a value in slowing down your thinking by doing stuff by hand. Logos and unformed ideas being a mere example to illustrate a point. In your case it sounds like the equivalent would be to actually go out and participate in an actual disaster response effort before reaching for AI or using AI to tell actual responders how to do their job.
