The sense of hustle has taken over everything. It's not enough to
just be good at something. You also need to go around yelling
about how good you are, disguised as tutorials or opinion
pieces.
How good a world can we build throught the eyes of anxiety? More
importantly, how would we raise the voices of the unanxious?
Would they just get sucked into the vortex?
The threat of the vortex is what terrifies me about quitting my
job, for example. At the moment I am a good elbow away from the
scream, but if I had to make a living as a freelancer again, I am
not sure I could keep away. And hell, do I see it darker now.
These desperate growth hackers are covering every electric surface
with their sickening hype. And the desperate engineers with their
desperate AIs learning from the same doomed sample.
