Hi I'm nobody and the stories on here constantly remind me of this old parable. There once was a man who was afraid of his own shadow and who hated his own footprints. Somehow he got it into his head that if he could just run fast enough he could outrun them, so he ran and he ran, but no matter how fast he ran his shadow stayed by his side, and the faster he ran the more footprints he made. Somehow the man got it into his head that he just wasn't running fast enough, so he ran and he ran and he didn't stop or rest and he died. Not knowing that standing still is how to stop making footprints, and that resting under a tree is how to stop making shadows, is just so tragic.

The only thing I hate more than the idea of a life coach is an AI Life Coach.

It takes all kinds to make the world go round, of course, but the entire vibe of this part of contemporary culture grosses me out and depresses me.

Fair point, AI coaches aren’t for everyone. The Coach in Dlog is optional; nothing is scored or sent unless you explicitly choose to.

Thanks for this; that parable lands. Dlog’s goal is the opposite: surface your personal patterns so you can deliberately stop, rest, and protect downtime.
