My Linked Notes

  After reading [[The Anxiety of Influencers]], I thought back to how much I enjoyed [[Packy McCormick]]'s article [[The Great Online Game]]. It made re-consider my motivations for getting active online. In Packy's article, he frames online activity as an "infinite game" - a [[World Building]] adventure game. We are all free to explore, make connections, and build up our own corner of the internet. Those who excel have already seen great benefits come to their lives. They have made great friends, find great business opportunities, and learn a ton. What an opportunity!

  I lie somewhere in between the tension of these two articles. I'm excited to lean into the experience of playing [[The Great Online Game]], but I also recognize that I'm driven by [[FOMO]] on the great opportunities I've seen others talk about (especially on twitter).

One last thing
