How I Write Clips(@PerellClips):Tom Junod says there's one thing humanity has ever done right, and AI can't do it. He explains why: "The only thing maybe that humanity has ever really done right is bear witness to its own thing." "Anybody who is writing seriously from the heart is bearing witness to this onward stamping of this blind genius being that is humanity." "Bear witness to the truth, to ourselves, to God, all of it. That's the soul. You see the soul do its work over the course of human history." "Why the fuck would we ever want to give that up? It's the one thing that we can do."
