projects solve the creator's need. products are the intersection of the creator's capacity to build a solution, solving other people's needs, and their means to compensate you for it. no intersection, no product.

② It seems to me someone should explain the something similar to humanity in a broader context. You do not exist in the earthly environment. Rather, you are a part of it — and inseparable from it. Its destruction is your destruction, and no space colonization fantasy will save you.

we, the atproto ecosystem, have failed you. personal favorite is: atproto = street apps like bsky = different houses on the same block each house can have its own party you can see & wave to folks across the street and even if one party boots you, you can take all your stuff elsewhere and party on

i learn from everyone, but the teacher is myself

grouping these together: - military's "never give a command that won't be obeyed" - teacher anti-pattern of "instructions the student can't follow" - basic-minded "using a foreign language to feel superior with someone who doesn't know it" everyone loses + speaker is unaware of false authority
