Double Down

Opportunity at OUR Fingertips

2:43 am
breaking all of my rules
can’t sleep as ideas for this BFN
dance like sugar plums in my head

stealthily…so as not to disturb barkhowlbarkbarkbark
I descend stairs
flop on sofa
toss and turn

rise
artificial light from cellphone
accosts eyes
fired laptop joins the party

is this what Jobs or Zuckerberg felt like?
there’s work to be done

and this work is bigger than me
I NEED YOUR HELP
WE, not me

Have you watched the social dilemma?

I have…and it’s sticking to me like a bath in Elmer’s glue.

The biggest threat to humanity——was created by humans?
Sci-fi has become real life?

fear was my go to reaction
and then
after a pause
I remembered…love

There is a way out of the social dilemma…
and its
US!

The internet and social media are amazing tools of connection.
I
am
incredibly
grateful
for
the
opportunity
to
I/Thou
with
you

.

.

Together
we can teach the algorithms
we
want love
not fear

The answer to How? is Yes!

Hang on to your hope.

I realize that this middle of the night letter is big on hype and short on detail.
There is no map.
Together, we’ll chart a course…
