Adam Mastroianni is my favorite essayist on the internet right now. His essay on Text is King is great. This line was a favorite. (Bonus: I have a full curated collection on text as a medium here)

I agree, and would add the skills we think make us irreplaceable might not be the ones that actually do. A related essay I loved: Rizz is the new intelligence

The incentives of the industry you’re in shape your mood.
