As your older sister, I can say this piece is your best yet. The paragraph below accurately distilled the Macfadden male proclivity for projects that you four share that I have had a front row seat for almost 30 yrs, in an accurate and insightful way… and actually makes me appreciate your collective passions more as we all grow… it is very self aware and I loved reading. “I get super into things, dive deep down various rabbit holes, and then move on to something new. In the past year, I’ve been into guitar building, collage, and narrative fiction. Before that, e-commerce, YouTube, and ice fishing. Before that, 1,000,000 other things I can’t even remember. Documenting those things here at least provides a through line that somehow feels more meaningful.”

"...consciously take up the challenge of improving the ethical and intellectual quality of our societal dialogue by including in it as many educated voices as possible." -Thanks for saying this. With AI's advent, we need to keep the word 'ethics' and 'intellectual' in focus. You mentioned a scary thought. Here's something I and millions like me face: AI takes the data from a general pool available across the internet, most if not all are ablist in perspective. So, what kind of AI tools are we creating? Are we even consciously correcting this? Looking forward to reading and interacting more.
