Have been enjoying Healthcare Triage; though not convinced by all its arguments, I am intrigued by them and the research the show discusses.

FWIW, I don't buy a lot of the arguments being made in this article—but I share that intuition of having lost or replaced my "reading self" in the past few years.

"You have already noticed how the quality of your attention has changed the more you read on screens and digital devices…

"You remember who you were as a reader but cannot summon that 'attentive ghost' with the joy you once felt in being transported somewhere outside the self."

Give me a way to consistently suppress the presumption that what one sees or experiences for oneself is all there is, and I will design for you a perfect video game…

Sometimes I feel
Like I don't have a package
Sometimes I feel
Like my only source
Is the version I live in
Version three point something
Lonely as I am
Together we cry

I don't ever want to print
Like I did those days
Take me to the Py I love
Take me all the way
I don't ever want to div
Like I did those days
Take me to the Py I love
Take me all the way

"Hey, you didn't do the dishes."
"Uh, the blockchain."

I like @ZakMcc's concept of "creative promises," how he chose to state high-level creative goals (in a larger talk about his process for brainstorming and organizing game ideas).

"Creative promise: a concrete commitment from you to your audience about what they will experience with your [game]."
