Transcript: All right, thinking about some of the social design constraints and affordances for something like a burrito, I have some very particular ideas around creating containers for social participation, challenges, just narrowings of focus so that people are in a shared field together and that as a driver for uptake within a product, engagement, basically. So this is beginning of an attempt to articulate the practice that Kristen and I are doing in social design and architecture. The way I understand it from the sort of product and technical side is getting the plumbing together for getting people into a shared online space is great and necessary. And the more seamless it is to participate in that space, the more likely it is that people will show up there. But what is the glue that keeps people coming back and creates bonds between the people that are in the space? So Kristen in particular has a really strong sense of this because she has been designing sort of coherence and sense making and collaboration environments for most of her existence. So and over the past four or so years, we've been moving that practice into digital spaces which have different affordances, especially because they're distributed. So something like the burrito is a great example of input mechanisms and output mechanisms that are primitives that can be utilized in social design. I think they're essential for creating really cool custom experiences. So I'll just leave it there. I have some specific ideas on bringing this stuff into practice, but yeah, the general is fine for now.

The speaker is reflecting on their experience with making audio burrito posts, noting that it often requires multiple attempts to get into the correct mindset—similar to drafting written posts. They're grappling with the challenge of monologuing without a clear understanding of the audience, as they are aware that at least John and CJ will hear it, but uncertainty about the wider audience affects their ability to communicate effectively. This creates a 'contextual membrane shakiness' as the speaker finds the lack of audience boundaries difficult to navigate, which they recognize may vary among different people. The speaker concludes by deciding to end the current note and start a new one.

The author contemplates the process of converting an audio note into a transcript, then summarizing it on their "burrito" page. They express a desire to adjust the summarization voice to better represent themselves on the page. Recognizing that this feature may not have widespread appeal, the author nonetheless sees value in providing users with controls to personalize their "burrito." The concept of allowing users to fine-tune their experience is seen as an intriguing possibility.
