The 6 Cracks
Six fault lines that are reshaping reality as we know it.
Get the signals before they become obvious.
The Fault Lines of Reality
These aren't trends. They're structural shifts in how we work, think, and exist. Each one demands new eyes, new frameworks, new ways of being.
Crack #1
The Great Resignation
When work loses its story
50% say their job is meaningless. This isn't laziness—it's a hunger for meaning that traditional employment can't satisfy.
Crack #2
The Great Stagnation
Innovation's invisible ceiling
Despite infinite compute and capital, breakthrough innovation feels stuck. The low-hanging fruit is gone, but we're still optimizing for picking.
Crack #3
The Expert Paradox
When everyone's an expert, no one is
The democratization of knowledge has created a crisis of authority. In a world of infinite voices, how do we separate signal from noise?
Crack #4
The Reality Recession
Truth becomes tribal
Shared reality is fragmenting. We don't just disagree on solutions—we can't even agree on what the problems are.
Crack #5
The Attention Apocalypse
Focus as the new scarce resource
In an economy built on capturing attention, sustained focus becomes revolutionary. The ability to think deeply is the new luxury.
Crack #6
The Meaning Crisis
Purpose in a post-religious world
Traditional sources of meaning—religion, nation, family—are weakening. What fills the void? And what happens to societies that can't answer this question?

This week's crack preview:
"The collapse of expertise isn't chaos—it's a phase transition. When everyone's an expert, no one is. But that's not the end of knowledge; it's the beginning of something entirely new.
The question isn't how to restore the old gatekeepers. It's how to develop better filters for signal detection in a world of infinite noise..."
