Commodified Intelligence
Still, in a world in which technology has evolved to exploit our attention and addictions, it’s more critical than ever that you draw that line somewhere, take time for deep focus, and do things for your own sake.
Again: This is already the case. Whenever you play a video game (say, Elden Ring) and decide to ‘play it blind, unspoiled, and without looking anything up’, you are acknowledging that taking ’the hard way’ or having an ‘authentic experience’ is more important for you than raw success.
Don’t be a meat proxy, don’t get stuck in the feedscroller apps, and don’t cheat (at chess, at writing, or otherwise).
