Wow your TikTok is legit! Awesome to finally hear your voice Natasha. Your charisma really shines through - wit, humor and all those good things. How long has it taken you to get those 6k followers there?
That's very decent then! I feel like a GenX when I think of trying TikTok, not sure if I can or should. I need a nudge haha. I do sort of like to dramatize the "crypto winter" though.
We are surrounded by clueless leaders and have raised a generation of financially clueless young people with the cards stacked against them in American Capitalism. What can go wrong will go wrong in such an environment. Talking about psychological or generational trends without a sociological and macro-economic context does to me seem pretty pointless.
GenZ don't actually see a "long-term" with climate change and the deterioration of Capitalism, they are incentivized to live in the moment. GenZ are actually totally redefining the future of work away from the 9 to 5 as self-employment, multiple streams of revenue and more work-life balance seem to be their preference.
100% agree that GenZ don't see the long term, but I don't think capitalism is deteriorating. We're heading deeper. I hope one of the biggest changes we will see in our lifetime will be how personal data is handled. We are turning into living commodities, a new type of slave, and without data sovereignty (maybe even with it) we're going to be shit out of luck in terms of exploitation...
Always fun to debate these things either way Natasha. I'm glad you are still optimistic about Capitalism. Every year censorship and automation will get worse, Surveillance Capitalism is the dominant paradigm. This is because our entire system is incentivized to delve further into that matrix. What do you suppose the Metaverse is?
LOL, I'm not optimistic "about" capitalism... I'm just not optimistic it will end, so I have to be optimistic anyway. Agree about all of the rest. The metaverse is a holding pen.

Aww thanks Michael! 😭 It's been about 6 months.

Please make a video about crypto winter. I haven't heard that term!
It's what happens when Bitcoin's price crashes like it is doing right now, I like contrarian stuff.
You can and you should try! I mean, worst case: you hate it and you stop. I'm all for experimenting.
I'm all about high CTRs, I'm not so adaptable online I guess.
My impression is LinkedIn has a higher click through rate than Twitter, Reddit, and Instagram combined. I'm not sure if TikTok is any different?
I am proud of "Internet Princess" for getting 1000+ Subs on her Substack though. My attempts at Twitter are going nowhere.
We want mad max style wasteland.
Online Natasha can combine Longterm-ism and memes together.
😜🤣🤣
