I’ve been developing a mental framework to reinterpret the “less but better” mantra as a practical system for my own time management and prioritization. The result is simple: focus on fewer but stronger levers.
What makes a lever “strong”? It is a lever that operates in the smallest possible field of action while delivering the highest impact, like a lever with the shortest possible arm on my side of the fulcrum and the longest arm on the opposite side.
I guess this is my own version of Jack Dorsey’s idea: “Make every detail perfect and limit the number of details to perfect.”
Based on what I’ve seen about digital rights and privacy. As some people have mostly complained about the power of corporations over individuals and then request more regulation from the government, which is the biggest and least transparent corporation of all.
Others have simply built an alternative like Nostr.
It is unsettling how accurately Ayn Rand projected this country’s current affairs. The frustration and brave efforts of the honest workers of the rail system are the last spikes of integrity.
