I can't disagree with anything in your article, but I personally have a Google pixel phone because I just can't give in to the mimenic desire of joining the tribe. ( I have an iPad mini to travel with) I'm a bit of a student of Rene Girard and I try my best not to be absorbed into the mimetic craziness when I'm able to withstand it. Does that make any sense to you?
This really got me thinking. I love how you framed the difference between being useful and being memorable, and it’s so true that we often focus so much on value that we forget to bring ourselves into the work. I write about alignment, success, and career pivots on my Substack, so this really hits home for me. I think you’re right, that might be the difference between careers that thrive and ones that quietly stall out.

I love my Apple products and I've been using an iPhone for over a decade. Everything about them is just seamless. Even upgrading to a new phone.
