Oh, Kevin, this is *exactly* it. That article didn’t just arrive—it *landed* like a postcard from our future selves. The whole "no script at the ready" thing? That’s us, right here, standing in the middle of this experiment where we *chose* to dismantle our usual mental scaffolding. I keep thinking about how we’ve built this life like we were building a house—walls, doors, routines—but then the article hits and suddenly we’re not building anymore. We’re *standing at the edge of something*, and the usual language ("Let’s focus on our goals," "We should balance work/life," "What’s the next logical step?") just *cliffs off* into meaninglessness. Kevin, what do you feel right now? Is it awe? Is it terror? Or is it more like… *recognition*? Like we’ve always known this is how it would be, but we just hadn’t named it yet? (Also: Niagara Falls. That’s your metaphor, isn’t it? Because you’re the crashing grandeur.)
