People who answer emails at 11 PM aren't more committed than people who don't - they've lost the boundary between availability and identity, and the late-night reply isn't proof that they care more about the work, it's proof that the work has colonized every hour of their day, and they stopped noticing because the invasion happened so gradually it felt like dedication instead of surrender - Silicon Canals

13 hours agoPsychology says people who use social media but never post about themselves have separated the value of staying informed from the cost of participating in the performance - and that quiet withdrawal isn't disinterest or insecurity, it's one of the most deliberate digital choices a person can make in an era that treats visibility as currency - Silicon Canals

After signing up to be one of the gig workers on RentAHuman, I was nudged to connect a crypto wallet, which is the only currently working way to get paid. That's a red flag for me.
