Smart choose Hudson the physical, virtual and spiritual world is filled with amazing and awful. We have to decide what we allow in and what we contribute. Your work has been an oasis for me. Thank you for your positive contributions. Shane

I don't recall whether you've read Neil Postman's Amusing Ourselves to Death. Forty years ago, Postman already saw the writing on the wall. Worth a read, if you can handle the disappointment at how far down that road we've gone.

Keep creating beauty, friend, and keeping finding it in others.

Thank you for taking a moment to comment Pablo. I will definitely check out that book!

I think creating beauty is one of the things we definitely can still do! Thanks for the encouragement. Speaking of Instagram, it seems your travels are going well! Glad for that. Take care and see you when you return.

Thanks for this. The unquestioning normalization of unreality is what terrifies me most about the tsunami of "AI" that people around us are so eagerly embracing.
