The Most Durable Human Value

Rich and meaningful experiences, built from your perspective and taste

June 9, 2026

I think one of the most human and durable things will be able to offer to other humans is the creation of rich and meaningful experiences for others.

It applies to so many things. Writing books, creating shows, doing theater, painting watercolors, woodworking, etc. But also making products and services, like in business/tech.

Designing a bed and breakfast experience is one way to do it. But so is designing a brilliant interface for experiencing a forest using AI or whatever.

Million different ways to do it.

But ultimately you're using your perspective and taste to create value for another human.
