The New Perspective Agents

Different sources, modes of thought can prepare us for big changes to come. — Culturally speaking, dread is deeply in fashion. Stability feels unobtainable. Leaders from anchor organizations have lost touch. An aggregate picture of doom suggests a new dark age looms on the horizon.

What Comes After The Coherence Crash?

Our capacity to make sense of events crashed in 2020. New research shows how we coped, embraced a DIY ethos to find perspective. — On March 26, 2020, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) halted trading shares of Zoom Technologies.

The Robots Have Landed

Creative destruction of cultural production is near. — About a month ago, a new Cosmopolitan “hit the newsstands” with a greeting from the future. The publication featured no celebrity news, dating, or relationship advice. Just a simple message with material subtext. Meet the World’s First Artificially Intelligent Magazine Cover → It took only 20 seconds to make. Cosmopolitan’s…

Flight to Perspective

Signals of migration from fear-inducing media to safer, more informed spaces — So this graphic below recently caught my eye. It’s a breakdown of how we die, tracked during the first twenty years of the 21st century. Heart attacks, cancers, and lung disease top the list by a wide margin.

City as Classroom

A story of a narrative, a reality, and a change in perspective “Never fall in love with the top layer. It’s what you find underneath that’s important.”— Amy Petersen, founder of Rebel Nell, Detroit City as Classroom is one of my favorite McLuhan books.

The Information Disorder In Us

Beauty algorithms that mash fantasy with reality are a pervasive — and damaging — form of misinformation — In 1999 there was RateMyFace. The site allowed users to rate the attractiveness of photos submitted by others. In 2000, the idea took off with Hot or Not, which inspired social media sites like YouTube.

Deepfakes On Demand

Imagine Zooming with a coworker and discussing confidential information, only to discover the person on the other end of the call is actually a bad actor using deepfake tech to impersonate your colleague. A brighter hypothetical — imagine you need to quickly turn around content, so you generate high-quality photos…
