What is the Most Important Part of the Economy?
Full write up: https://kyla.substack.com/p/people-ar... I think we often forget that the economy is really a bunch of people peopling around and trying to make sense of this world. So it’s going to be silly and dumb because people are silly and dumb. I don’t know. I think it’s frustrating and it’s also okay to *be* frustrated. That’s part of where action comes from. And just like the Fed, we have to take action to maintain our credibility (something I need to work on more). The bifurcation of society shows that we care at least - but how do we harness these emotions into something productive for our collective future? That’s the eternal question.

The Distortion and Disruption of Narratives (Things are Weird)
full write up: https://kyla.substack.com/p/the-distortion-and-disruption-of?s=w Our lives are mostly a result of the content that we interact with. We are (sort of) an average of the five people that we spend the most time with. The things that we read and watch and the people we talk to end up shaping our world. And that is compounded by !algorithms! that *also* determine how we see the world. We end up tying ourselves into our online worlds because that is where we exist for most of the day. Like sure, we might have a running group or in-person work environment, but most of us are inherently online beings right now.
