Sometimes it feels like the more our systems grow, the less room we have to move inside them. Scale brings convenience, but it also quietly reshapes what we’re allowed to choose. Maybe the real challenge now is finding small spaces of autonomy that don’t isolate us, but keep us grounded enough to think for ourselves.
I agree. The real challenge is to prevent 'convenience' from becoming 'dependence.' Finding that balance—where we use the scale of the system without losing our ground—is likely the most important skill for the next generation.

It's inevitable with all the technological changes that are coming; we are the ones who must adapt.
