đ Gaping Void
One that popped up in my DayONE Journal from two years ago. Still True. More True. Even Truer?
Truth … reminds me of my old days in large corporate change management initiatives … we used to call it the âpermafrost layerâ.
Spot On …. and delighted to say that I am working with one such company that is working in the world of vision.
Sound like our time has come! (To borrow from Victor).
âOnly Connect!â
E.M. Forster
my thanks to @gapingvoid for the quote and the image. As usual - so very spot on.

Gaping Void. Yes. And.
The âindustrialization of everythingâ quickly reduces to automation and we forget ‘humanityâ.
There is 1 discipline that needs humanity more than ever. Marketing.
There is 1 discipline that has had its humanity systematically killed off. Marketing.
We start with data
.. then color that data with context for information
.. connect that information for knowledge
.. seek knowledge edge cases that connect for insights
… knowing that wisdom comes only by taking the journey between those insights.
I know what he means - I really do …. but there is something missing in this equation ⊠what can it be?
Another @gapingvoid image that reminds me of micro.blog - in fact it might even be an image created for @macgenie based on the first micro podcast she did.
Even if I got one of these I still couldn’t draw like @gapingvoid … it’s about the ideas, not the tools.
This just in from @gapingvoid .. and I thought - you know - this is micro.blog. Shouldnât we be asking hugh to get on board?
And Neither Are People
Do you remember The Prisoner?
If you are old enough and you were living in the UK in the 60s, I am sure the answer is a resounding, "Yes!"
I am well aware the TV series was also shown in Canada and the US, but I think it's one of those peculiarly English productions that didn't translate too well. For those of you not old enough (most of you I am guessing), this is a key line from the show that always struck me: "I am not a numberâI am a free man!"
Prescient, when you realize, to quote Wikipedia that ...
a major theme of the series is individualism, as represented by Number Six, versus collectivism, as represented by Number Two.... McGoohan [the co-creator of the show], stated that the series aimed to demonstrate a balance between the two points.
Now if that is not a "discussion for our times," I'm not sure what is! And as you can see, this debate has been occupying me for some time. Then, along comes Gaping Void to point out something similar.
TRUTH
Thankyou Hugh
Then again - there is this …
