Something "new" like smart glasses or a speaker along those lines, would be interesting. A smartphone would feel inconsequential to me at this point unless it breaks some ground, and still...

If it is meant to hurt, it is not honest.

That too.

Wishful thinking. This is one of the traps of one's mind being held captive (maybe hyperbole) by models.

Is it confirmed to be a phone? I've heard "hardware."

I think it is needed if you want the book to be widely read. In any case, putting it out there as a side project is also a positive thing personally.

Add Perplexity to the list + GPT and Claude.

What is anxiety? We can see that fear underlies it, it is a form of fear, which itself can only exist in relation to the future. In what ways are we resisting our experience such that anxiety can occur? Why are we producing it, what do we get out of it? What are we anticipating might happen that we are not willing to experience (getting hurt, being laughed at, being humiliated or betrayed, etc)? If it were fully embraced as it is, that would eliminate anxiety. Similarly, if we didn't conceive of a future as a possibility, anxiety could not arise. Sounds simple in theory, yet our challenge lies in actually being able to do this experiential shift rather than just thinking about it.

Not entirely relevant here, but I've been paying attention to the fact that, at a deep level, we are fundamentally afraid of "others." Even if subtly, it is a constant background sense that determines our interactions. This sense is so prevalent that it is difficult to notice.

Truth Social, hah.

Not sure what this means, you make the conclusions.
