  "textContent": "A few days ago I looked at how easy it is to get sucked into all of the misery and despair going on around the world, to the exclusion of life itself, and all we have to be grateful for.\n\nThis is not to say we should bury our heads in the sand when it comes to the world's goings on—far from it—but simply to remain aware of when we're innocently attaching our sense of wellbeing to external circumstance… which is _very_ easily done.\n\n(It's what this entire website's about!)\n\nIt struck a chord with a few of you, and I just read something the other day that slotted another piece of the optimism/pessimism jigsaw into place for me, so I shall share it with you.\n\nIt's about AI, so if that turns you off completely, you can stop reading now.\n\n🤓\n\n### This post is for subscribers only\n\nBecome a member to get access to all content\n\nSubscribe now",
