Morning Message #24
the future is here.
2023 was the first year I felt like we were actually headed toward the future on multiple fronts at once. An inflection point peaking out and then slowly taking off. Not that this is always a net positive, but humanity is breaking through technical marvels most people my age could have only dreamt of.
I'm very excited to see what the next year has in store. But before we head deeper into the unknown, we must take a collective inventory in order to breathe life into what comes next.
Preparing ourselves for these new and accelerated advancements will require patience, self-reflection, and a thoughtful look at how humans will be at the forefront of a newfound marrying of the dynamic digital and analog.
We'll need to confront the past four years and heal ourselves, something we've unfortunately largely neglected. It will feel like a terror ripping each person in two, and it will all be worth the pain on the other side as we move toward greater collective growth rather than individual fear.
