I had a very Big Fish / Pleasantville coded dream about fleeing Seattle to a rural town during a nuclear war. It was... weird.
I spent much of this morning reviewing Mary Meeker's 2026 report on AI. I have some thoughts that I might put into a blog post. But the thing that really struck me is that the biggest reason I think capitalism holds so strongly to people is that it directly creates a scoreboard in terms of money. People like rankings, they trust them (regardless of if they are told that they should or shouldn't) because they value ordering and knowing hierarchy.
