and i'm sure the generation before us bemoans the destruction of culture in the face of youtube and tiktok and instagram and whatnot. my baby sister grew up on teletubbies, which i regarded as vile trash inferior to my sesame street. she turned out more than fine - its quite safe to say she's better socially adjusted than I am.

i think humanity will always have some shared myths and legends that we'll all like to share and i'm certainly hoping that lives on. but there's a lot of room for net new. and you just need to see the delight in a kids' face once - when you incorporate a suggestion by them into a story, or a drawing, or literally whatever - to want to give that joy to them again and again.

theres room for net new, and room for shared history. not zero sum here.

Points taken. I'll be trying to keep an open mind.
