The Four Natural Forces Applied To Business
I used the 4 natural forces model in my 📚recent book as an analogy for the 4 forces of humanity.
And then I read that 🔗 Fermilab has found a discrepancy with the mass of the W boson.
“The current 'standard model' of particle physics describes four fundamental forces. Three of those — electromagnetism, gravity and the strong nuclear force — push or pull things, broadly speaking. The fourth force — the weak nuclear force — doesn't really push or pull anything. Instead it makes one type of particle transform into another type of particle. In doing so we get the force responsible for radiation, and it's the force that drives nuclear fusion in the sun. So it's quite important.”
I’ll say it’s important. Now I will have to revisit some of the thinking in the book!

Notes Reminding Us About Notes
Two short posts that arrived almost back to back in the multivarious reading apps that seem to be multiplying on my iPad.
The first came from Derek Silvers about why we should write plain text files.
The ‘shouldness’of that instruction cant be more emphasised. All that he says I do know, but it’s good to be reminded. But, even then it still doesn’t stop me from writing a lot of stuff in a couple of the most proprietary formats out there .. Apple’s ‘Pages’ and ‘Keynote’.
YES Keynote … it isn’t just for presentations, I use it to create simple graphics and structured workbooks.
The second was Note-taking became a full-time job, so I stopped
Last year out of nowhere, I became aware and interested in Obsidian. I learnt about Zeitelkasten. I discovered that Obsidian was just the latest application that promised to be my salvation.
I haven’t stopped using it - but boy did that post resonate!

A proper review needed, but I tend not to do those … but someone definitely at the intersection of two personal passions - People First and M U S I C
📚Three Interesting ‘Writer’ Links
By the way - Gallagher’s YouTube Channel - 58Keys is worth checking out. Nice to see that I subscribed when his count was in the hundreds - and now it is over 2 1/2 thousand.
🧶 📚The second session of 🖇️ 🔎The Readers Republic is coming up - delighted that @artkavanagh will be hosting. Sadly @ton will not be able to make it, so his session will need to run at a future event.
Otherwise, looks like we are all in for a good session on the 6th/7th March.
📚Publishing shenanigans - he was caught - but why did he do it?
… enquiring minds need to know - and the article doesn’t really answer the question.
