      "description": "<p>I’ve been listening to more music on my iPod classic as I sit in the front porch of our house in Palm Springs. One of the joyful moments is stumbling upon songs on shuffle that bring you back to a time. Today, it was Billy Bragg’s, “The Space Race is Over”—a musician my painting professor in college introduced to me.</p>\n<p>Here is the ChatGPT summary of the themes of the song:</p>\n<blockquote><p>“The Space Race is Over” serves as both a critique of society’s shift away from collective progress and a personal reflection on growing older and facing the realities that challenge childhood dreams. Bragg’s song is not just about space exploration—it’s a metaphor for lost ideals and the need to rediscover a sense of purpose and hope for the future.</p></blockquote>\n<p>As read <a href=\"https://x.com/chanpory/status/1877952217317277927\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Chanpory’s post</a> about being middle-aged and working at a startup, I thought how much this song resonates. We need more collective ambition to bring us together, not dividing through our ideologies; just like what Top Gun: Maverick did for us.</p>\n<p>I’m hoping startup innovation can renew how we work together.</p>",
