The Death March of Wisdom

The World is bereft of journalistic integrity, individuality, critical thinking, courage and civil debate.

We consider the lack of these values exemplified in a digital world "The Death March of Wisdom."

We consider these values as the necessary digital fabric to realistically spend more time with friends and family. Said differently, it is unrealistic to spend less time looking at screens if you feel compelled to fight against injustice, misinformation, and evil. It is unrealistic to spend time in the physical present moment without knowing the good guys at least have an upper hand.

Losing the digital battleground means we lost the thread on the collective wisdom of humanity but why it benevolently connects us. The benevolence of sharing wisdom will be replaced by reprogramming designed as wisdom.

Curiosity is the solution.

Curiosity is innate in all of us but it has been methodically and mechanically co-opted into a groupthink funnel.

It must be re-awakened on a mass scale to solve this problem.

The unique writing styles, human experiences and curiosity of humans is how long-tail curiosity re-connects us through wisdom.

How? Incentives.

You cannot fake curiosity nor can you fake the synaptic firings when it is triggered. It makes us feel like we can fly, do anything and reinforces connection in a way that benevolent digital connection was meant to create. You also cannot ignore the winning playbooks in social with network effects, monetization, and social clout.

Dystil was created for the curiosity to be re-ignited in all of us. We believe that we all are fundamentally incurious about something and too often, a natural wall will be developed instead of leaning into curiosity. Our enemies thrive in this reality. We believe journalistic integrity comes back through long-tail curiosity. The best subject matter experts are those that love the problem so deeply that they are incentivized to understand it more than the need to be right or the need to manufacture the bleed to get the lead.

Dystil will thrive by being uniquely human and making curiosity too powerful to ever ignore again.

We will solve the World's most difficult problems collectively and efficiently through curiosity and being uniquely human.

The Death March of Wisdom will be re-routed towards prosperity through uniquely human curiosity.

Welcome to Dystil.
