No need

We don’t really need to walk anywhere; there are enough cars and scooters and delivery options.

We don’t really need to retain knowledge; the internet is always available, and it can tell us whatever we need to know.

We don’t really need to generate ideas; AI can do that faster and more completely than we ever could.

And we’d be fools to follow these tempting paths to their ends.

Physical, mental, and creative atrophy are real.

Doing the work serves a purpose. Just because we can get the work done some easier way doesn’t always mean it’s the best choice.

Remember: the tools are in service of us living; they don’t exist to do the living for us.
