Farhad for the win! What doesn’t go viral is great.

For more on Luddites check out Blood in the Machine. One thing we get wrong about Luddites is that they were led by skilled craftsmen, i.e. people who were very technological sophisticated. In other words, their fears came from being informed about, rather than ignorant of technology. Btw, there’s a parallel there to today in the work of Jaron Lanier and Tristan Harris, etc.

I commend you for the “effort” of being a nice guy. Canadians are supposed to be the nice ones but I guess they think paying it forward is “weird”. It’s not. I find it refreshing that the ugly American ( just a term…not you of course) tried to out nice Canadians.

Haha, thank you Toni! I'm really pushing "it's the thought that counts" to the very limit
