Progress, Postmodernism and the Tech Backlash.
By Alex Danco
"Anti-tech sentiment is far from a universal stance. But it’s more coherent, and therefore more dangerous, than I think most tech leaders realize.

@Zailrand @lovesdaryl - to be fair... spraying yourself with cow urine will keep other people at a distance... which will keep you safe.
UK Gov emulates US idiocy on - COBRA meeting, no change to delay , still contain. Which we're not doing successfully. #coronavirus

While driving over a bridge this morning, I had the sunrise ahead of me and the moon in my rear view mirror.
It was beautiful and struck me as a bit profound--reminding me that every day, I am somewhere between a beginning and an ending, and have to keep my attention on the present.
