jer979Purpose Struggle
Yesterday, I decided that my blogging career should come to an end. I was doing myself a disservice. I told myself that the goal of the posts was to dig deeper, peel back the layers, get down to the core. But by publishing online (or on-chain as the case may be), I was subconsciously writing for others, even if I told myself that I didn't care if others read. So, in an effort to be more authentic, I figured I'd stop publishing and start doing a private journal. Within 2 hours of that decision...

I feel happy. It's fun, it's light, like a feather floating at the beginning of Forrest Gump. But, like the feather, it's not grounded. It can flitter and float away. Value is also ephemeral. We know it when we see it. We feel it, somewhere deep inside. Something connects to us, saying "yes, this is worth it." The "it" that it's worth is energy. Energy in the form of time, attention, money. The things of which our possession is limited. There's a reason why all the great traditions point to "...
jer979Coffee with AI
Every day for the past month, I’ve had a coffee date with AI. I literally sit down, with a cup of coffee, with an appointment on my calendar that says “coffee with AI”. During that time, AI (I’ve used ChatGPT, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude, and Venice) and I literally have a chat, the way I would with a friend. It’s not “write this letter for me” or “do this or that.” No, it’s a chance for us to have a conversation about whatever topic I want. Many days, recently, at least, it’s been about quant...

The tour through the Anheuser-Busch brewery in St. Louis took us into the stables of the iconic Clydesdale horses.
The horses were first associated with the brand in 1933 to celebrate the repeal of prohibition and went on a national tour, pulling a beer wagon and making deliveries to places like Wall St. and the White House.
What caught my eye in the display was the description underneath “Commemorated Through Time.”
It says:
“Collectibles are a tangible way for a consumer to remember an important experience. From books and steins to plush toys and postcards, there is no shortage of Clydesdale-themed merchandise that made its way into consumers homes.”
And then into landfills, right?
As we move more and more into the digital era, the desire for a way to remember an important experience doesn’t leave us as humans, but the actual way may change.
It used to be physical items which require natural resources to produce and transport.
Next, it will be NFTs. More sustainable and still serve as the reminder of the experience.
