the story you tell about a product, and the culture you build around that story, matters far more than the product itself
the subject line of this email just made me vomit a lil bit
have been reading a shit ton of john steinbeck's novellas of late, and because i'm me, i found a way to connect this to writing manifestos lmao

I just walked into the bedroom and found him like this 🥹

y’all i’ve spent this month cooking up a new brand manifesto, and i’m legit excited about it. been awhile since i've felt this energized by a writing gig
it’s for an app called lightpage, which is kinda like a moleskine notebook, but with some thoughtful AI baked in
the founder (who sadly is not on fc yet) and i have been having crunchy convos about the sacredness of human relationships, the future of AI, how extremism hollows us out, the importance of attention, trust, play, etc
it’s all very “how do we stay human in a hostile, uncertain world” vibes
as the manifesto takes shape, i’m gonna share lots of messy, behind-the-scenes bits here. basically let the process be open, conversational, a lil chaotic
kind of a scary endeavor for my inner perfectionist, so who knows, this might also be kinda healing lmao
oh, i’m also documenting the whole thing more formally on my newsletter. so if you wanna follow along, here’s the official opener!

appreciated the extra weight, but NOT the claws lmao 😅

chatgpt just called my cat a "chaos muppet" and i never really thought about him that way, but yeah it's the truth
just paid off a credit card that's been carrying a chunky balance since, like, 2019
feels good man

that'll be an insta-purchase from me, dawg

i have never been so confused by a headline lol
building a fun lil website today 👀
“the purpose of writing a manifesto is to launch yourself into a quest, the trials and tribulations of which will temper your soul and help you cultivate the courage, grace, and genuine leadership we so desperately need in this chaotic world, bro”

this is the first time a crypto native business model for writing has actually felt exciting to me. could actually incentivize more uniquely human work, more audience connection with that work, and more playing of long games

i'm in my redemption arc as a creator after spewing advice that i didn't follow myself for many years because that's what i thought i had to do to survive/be valuable

tfw you lose your phone and search high and low for it to no avail, and then in a moment of defeat, you go to pet your cat and hear a buzz emanating from under his belly

"adding value" is such a cursed phrase
it's led so many ppl (myself included) to construct elaborate perceptions of themselves as valuable vs just, like, helping ppl out when the opportunity arises
