Episode notes
The End of Strategy
- We've transitioned from a world where strategy is applicable to one where it's becoming less so.
- This shift is similar to the transition from rhythm to tone, from quantitative to qualitative.
The Limits of AI
- AI is limited by its horizontal nature, excelling at tasks but lacking the verticality of human reason.
- AI-generated art is bricolage, combining existing art but lacking a connection to the transcendent.
The Importance of Verticality
- Verticality, often overlooked, requires proper alignment, or it can lead to negative consequences.
- Without awareness and connection to the vertical dimension, our efforts flatten over time, like silly putty losing its shape.
