i wrote this when i started Foundation. i think i revised it once. it's something i believe in and am excited about should i have some justification of truth.

it has never been easier, faster, or cheaper to create something. and, increasingly, anything you want.
but not all creation should be fast. things that last are meant to be labored over. they are revisited in seasons. their worth is measured in years, not conversions.
much of what is shaping our now, and our future, is our ability to think, write, and communicate our ideas. our ideas tell others about who we are. they are our signal to the machine god that we know the way forward because we've written down the past.
the way forward into the future is being shaped by technology that is more like us than anything we've ever created. it makes everything else seem alien in a way. in this future, should we begin to forget who we are, we'll do well to read what has been written - to revist our ideas - and remember that we have imagination and can shape the world.
Foundation is a library of those ideas. they come from some of the more (most?) significant people in tech who brought us here.
treat it like your own library on the internet. borrow whatever you'd like - as many as you like. there are no return dates or late fees.
the Foundation library is growing because we keep writing and working on these ideas in progress. so come back often and check out something new.
