Sedentary multitasking is what machines do, but ever since the pandemic, that’s all WE do. Are we becoming computers? Do we exist just to perform knowledge-systems labor?

We are:

1. Synchronizing activities

2. Entering and exiting schedules

3. Perfecting chocolate chip cookie recipes

⭐⭐⭐Let’s begin:

1. When doing all life activities in one place, such as a domestic setting, synchronizing everything into one master schedule is tough. Your perception of time stretches and contracts depending on the task… writing a project proposal versus nodding dutifully in an online meeting. Did they said three or five? What’s the topic now?

We’re balancing multiple time-scales:

🌞❄️🍂 long term: years, phases, seasons…

🗓️ short term: weeks, days…

⏱️ immediate: hourly, minutely, unexpected events…

2. Our work-life reality has flattened. To transition between tasks, we must re-expand space with our bodies, not just our minds. Reset and prep for the next task by walking around the house. 5x across the room. Go down the street. Remember to come back. Take an object you will use later—a remote, pen, measuring spoon—and deposit it in the mailbox. When it’s time, retrieve it. This “commute” reboots intentionality. Can a computer do that?

Put a chocolate chip cookie in the mailbox and take a nibble out of it each circulation for dopamine. Can a computer byte? I mean bite? Can the sugar dissolve on its tongue binding to receptors T1R2/T1R3s giving that sweet sensation?

3. There’s no such thing as an imperfect chocolate chip cookie recipe 🍪 as the CCC is perfection itself.

🍪CCC = Perfection🍪

Chocolate : loved and consumed by millions of humans who are not computers.

Chip : you can add any kind of chip into your cookie: nuts, sprinkles, dried fruit, cpus, gpus, ram, or despair that is not made by computers.

Cookie : round, a great and popular shape loved by millions of humans across time but possibly also computers.
