I like to think of the dark as my unbridled lazy impulses. Those ones that urge me to just browse vapid content instead of seeking out enriching articles. Or ones that push me back into the habit of getting high every night instead of making sure I'm dedicated to my work and daily life. The more I succumb to these tendencies, the less light there is in my life. The more I get used to 'the dark,' the harder it is to see, or acknowledge, all the opportunities for light around me. The dark is pushed back by maintaing an aware, curious, and open mind. Hubski certainly serves a place in this relationship. It upholds itself as a bastion of interesting, often lesser seen articles, a veritable hub of people smarter than me, and an environment of genuine relationships between users. It is a collection of people mutually sharing and growing their light through a medium where it is easy to stumble into the dark. It also a site I have been neglecting recently, which makes me sad.
