One “must” for this week
“The never-ending now” by David Perell.
In the age of social media, it seems like we are trapped in a never-ending cycle of consuming ephemeral content created within the last 24 hours.
This constant pursuit of novelty leaves us blind to our place in history and overwhelmed by the chaos of the present moment.
David urges us to prioritize humanity's accumulated wisdom over the impulses of the past 24 hours.
