So the key governing principle for all of this is that scarcity dictates value.

As fast fashion has become more prominent and common, more handmade goods have become more valuable.

In a time where mass produced furniture is available, having vintage pieces and pieces that have a story and pieces that have patina has become more valuable.

It stands in contrast.

Scarcity equals value.

And we are already seeing that with AI.

Hanging out with people in person has become more valuable.

Things with a human touch have become more valuable.

If AI can make things perfect, having typos, having a weird cadence to your writing, that becomes more valuable because it stands in contradiction to the thing that is available to everybody.

And there are some ways in which AI is bringing this democratization to beauty.

You can have it analyze the best haircut and skincare routine and do color theory for you and things like that.

But it's going to be more of a general sentiment.

And I think we're already seeing this where imperfection becomes a signal of humanness and reality.

And that becomes the high value thing in this increasingly technologically shiny, perfect world.

I've been drinking Element every single day for literally years.

I usually use one packet a day, but I break it up and I kind of spike my water throughout the day.

So it makes my water taste amazing and it helps me stay consistently hydrated, which for me means more energy, fewer headaches and way clearer thinking.

That's like probably the biggest difference I noticed is my brain just works so much better.

Research actually shows that you hydrate better when you sip throughout the day instead of chugging all at once.

And Element makes that so much easier because plain water is honestly so boring and I just will not drink enough of it otherwise.
