And now the narrative has shifted to doing things fast without understanding. Otherwise you’ll be antiquated and outclassed.

It is true. I feel left behind—like I don’t belong in a world infested with ai slop.

    Here is my encouragement to go and learn something new! Try something computers can’t do yet, like cooking or playing an instrument. The learning by remembering information era is long gone, but there is the opportunity to learn skills robots cant mimic yet.

      For sure. I have learned the basics of mountaineering, cooking and fermenting foods. I make sourdough bread, sprouts, and natto at home. And it’s so meditative. 😄

        Oh yeah, once you get started in the kitchen, if you enjoy it there’s no end. I’ve been teaching myself how to make greek/Mediterranean food lately and I’m trying to get my hands on a specific ice cream maker that works with equipment I already have.

        Seriouseats dot com has probably been the biggest help in teaching my self to cook.

      Likely why I have taken up sewing and leatherworking. Just working with your hands is very liberating. Making real material things for others; that I can see the product of my labor - it is significantly more fulfilling than any type of wage labor could provide.
