This essay beautifully reframes what it means to “build” in tech — shifting the focus from disruption and speed to preservation and stewardship. The idea of legacical thinking feels both humbling and inspiring: it asks founders to design products as if they’ll outlive them, honoring the trust users place in their creations. In an age obsessed with short-term growth, Glasp’s commitment to continuity — to being a vessel for human thought across generations — stands out as a quiet, meaningful rebellion. It’s a reminder that some of the most important innovations aren’t about acceleration, but endurance.

Legacical Thinking - I've been searching for a term to describe this for awhile. Not sure this totally hits the mark for me, but I'll give it an A for effort. Maybe it just needs time to get into daily use. - Anything is better than 6-7
