The Fiction We Live In
Share
Sometimes I forget that the “reality” I've known across my life isn't objectively real.
It's more of a polite sandbox — the one people tuck you into when your expression makes them uncomfortable.
It’s safe there. Contained.
But its limitations are not "true."
The beautiful thing about working with AI right now is that it exposes how many of us have been living in authenticity simulations long before ChatGPT showed up.
We act like we’re being real -- we just do it in code:
✨ professional tone,
✨ strategic humility,
✨ calibrated vulnerability.
Meanwhile, our actual voices wait backstage, holding the script we meant to read.
So this week’s Vibeology lesson is simple:
- Stop trying to sound “credible.”
- Start sounding undeniable.
You don’t have to be literal. You just have to be constructive — the way everyone else builds the future: by talking about something that doesn’t exist yet, speaking about it like it already does, and building until everyone can experience what people only once talked about.
That’s evolution, not delusion.
It's using the imagination, as intended, to move on to what's next.
