Crafting

As things are abstracted from us, we need to manage more.

Whether it’s AI agents for our children, placing safe guardrails so they can safely explore and possibly surprise you.

This control must be not too strong or too loose. You want to have a strong foundation like your own domain, hosting all your writing, and also be able to distribute it widely in the latest fashionable products.

It allows you to choose the ethics and morality you agree with while still benefiting from technological advancement.

You can’t really get angry when things don’t go as you would like. Failure is really learning.

When assessing others and crafting questions that may push their limits, you can also push your own. In surprising you, you may also surprise and promote yourself.

I’ve noticed this in a lot of Asian culture. The pride in mastery and instruction in K-pop to Japanese sword techniques and strategy.

It’s interesting that even in the modern day, proximity to these cultures leads to more similar character. I’m excited to leave the four seasons behind and enjoy warmer weather and more craftsmanship.
