We live in a mega-scale corporate capitalist economy, and in such a setting technology is never used to save time. It’s used to speed up production and consumption in order to expand the system. The basic rule is this: technology doesn't make our lives easier. 我们生活在一个大型企业资本主义经济体中，在这种环境下，技术永远不会被用来节省时间。它被用来加速生产和消费，以便扩大系统。基本规则是：技术不会让我们的生活更轻松。 It makes them faster and more crammed with stuff. 它让我们的生活变得更快，塞满了更多的东西。

In my way of thinking, radical agency is about finding real edges: things you are willing to do that others aren’t, often because they’re annoying or unpleasant. These don’t always surface in awareness to the point one is actually choosing -- often they live in a cloud of aversion that strategically obscures the tradeoff. 在我看来，激进的能动性在于寻找真正的优势：你愿意做而其他人不愿意做的事情，通常是因为它们令人厌烦或不愉快。这些并不总是浮现在意识中，以至于人们实际上是在选择——通常它们存在于策略性地掩盖权衡利弊的厌恶情绪的云雾中。

Studying time “is like holding a snowflake in your hands: gradually, as you study it, it melts between your fingers and vanishes.” 学习时间“就像手里拿着一片雪花：慢慢地，当你学习它的时候，它在你的指缝间融化消失了。

In fact, 2024 may be the most fast-paced—and dangerous—time ever for the creative economy. And that will be true, no matter what happens in November. 事实上，2024年可能是创意经济有史以来节奏最快、最紧张的一年。这将是真的，无论11月发生什么。 So let’s plunge in. I want to tell you why entertainment is dead. And what’s coming to take its place. 我想告诉你为什么娱乐业已经死了。以及即将取代它的东西
