"If there were no scorecards in your life, what is the first thing you would stop doing?"

In this second installment of The Closed Loop we explore the "Performance Cult" - the invisible structure of modern life tha demands constantoptimization and relentless output. Borrowing from both ancient and modern inquiry , we investigate the profound shift whe we stop seeking external validation and start granting ourselves perimission to simply be.

A curation of thoughts across times and cultures to start provoking enquiry and encourage alternate perspectives.
