Weekly handshake sessions with the team—an antidote to the isolation of working from home.
Tailored clothing—an antidote to the chaos of fast fashion.
Real conversations with humans—an antidote to the efficiency of AI agents.
Home-cooked meals with local ingredients—an antidote to ready-to-eat convenience.

If we stop and think—really think—we might make some rational choices on the way.
Otherwise, in the name of progress, we are likely to loop back to what we left behind.
