"The diversity of modern culture is unequivocally a good thing. But that comes at the cost of more fragmentation, the loss of a cohesive cultural language. And that fragmentation can be interpreted in different ways. Maybe instead of reading The New York Times, you now read Breitbart or subscribe to a Substack: that could be celebrated as more personalized, individualistic, gatekeeper-less media; or it could mean that you’ve sequestered yourself in your own algorithmic echo chamber, exposed only to the people and ideas that reinforce your own worldview. Both can be true." (Rex Woodbury)

Choice is negation. When you choose something, you're negating every other possibility, so you have to be at peace with that. You're not skateboarding if you're reading, you're not reading if you're sleeping, you're not taking a shower if you're walking. So every choice, it comes with something that exists for you but negates every other possibility. You cannot be everything at all times. So I'm very much at peace with that. Whatever your limited time and knowledge of this world is in your lifespan, that's it. That was your share. And then you live it. What happens happens, and then you're gone.
