The term “content creator” seems like such an insult to me. And yet, many identify with it. “Creator” is great but “content” means commodity. “Look, we got this big black box. We must dump in whatever we can.” Create more content to feed the ravenous algorithm.

Can somedan please explain to me what’s going on?

“By a continuing process of inflation, governments can confiscate, secretly and unobserved, an important part of the wealth of its citizens. By this method they not only confiscate, but they confiscate *arbitrarily*; and, while the process impoverishes many, it actually enriches some.” - John Maynard Keynes Via @Lyn Alden's excellent book “Broken Money”.

My kids are a part of me that I didn’t know I had until they came into this world. That’s the best way I can describe the feeling of being a parent, at least for now.
