I want to push back on the Marie Kondo/Joshua Harris article a little. Some of The Discourse I saw on the bird app made me cringe a little bit. I know it’s tongue-in-cheek, but it’s possible to read the statement “read no self-help book until the author is at least 40 with kids” as “younger or childless people have no, or at least less, wisdom to offer the world.” Bleh! That’s not true! I wish I had seen a little more acknowledgement of that in that conversation (on an app not built for nuance, etc. etc. 😊)
