Another Metaverse

I like this one a lot more.


🎶🎵 If you haven’t heard New Zealand’s Maori Metal band ‘Alien Weaponry’, you are missing out.

This video touches on my reasoning. I’m not a metal lover … but a sucker for musicians driven by a passion with a message.

The video tells the story behind one of their songs.


The End of American Exceptionalism

… it’s a couple of years old - and has too many tRump references … but he’s not wrong … if it ever was a reality.



What Exactly Are The Differences?

To me it is very clear - but it doesn’t … can’t … show in a video. You need to live in them both. Experience them.

The sewage problem was a new one to me.

 


🎶🎵Mesmerising (links to video)

 

 

To remind - many of us have this capability sitting in our pocket - likely unused!

Genesis - Get ‘Em Out By Friday - The Lyrics

Arguably more relevant today than when it was released in 1972.

Is America Great?

 

Dave Winer over on Scripting …

“I am an American, nothing is going to change that, but if you asked me do I feel this is the greatest country ever, I’d say that’s an idea we have to purge from our minds, the US is the opposite, it’s a fat, lazy, spoiled, ridiculous excuse for a country. If we want to amount to anything we need to take a 180 degree turn now.”

Channeling Jeff Daniels / Will McEvoy 8 years later?


“Markets: After a bumpy Thursday when investors questioned economic growth prospects, stocks rebounded on Friday to close at all-time highs.”

What A Difference A Day Makes



I always disliked Cummings - but he seems to be doing a ‘Bolton’ attack on BoJoyoutube.com/watch) (BBC : YouTube)

… so now I am not sure I know which side I am on.


Noam makes some very good points

… and the US gets so pissed off when other countries try to shape the US narrative.


‘Kill the bill’: Hundreds in UK protest against new crime law.

No social distancing there then 🤷‍♀️

But it’s important. BoJo needs to go if he doesn’t understand why this is wrong.

Meanwhile, J Pie’s take on the matter.



War - What Is It Good For?

Absolutely Nothing! Say it again.

Simon Sinek talking about what game theory teaches us about war.

Maybe why we no longer win wars?

Thinking Allowed

This is a People First post that was originally on the People First domain. It has been moved here as part of my domain consolidation program. It’s a steady and slow WIP as I check each entry, so do please bear with me.

American Business

It's an old one that I rediscovered in the archives. Time to publish.

Killing Them Softly: America is not a country, it's just a Business

It just seemed right, timely and very 'People Firsty'.


Describing The Cynefin Framework

Dave Snowden introduces The Cynefin Framework

I first referenced the Cynefin Framework and published this link on my old Beyond Bridges - now decommissioned - site on June 18th - 2017. Needless to say, though the site is going away, the articles are already archived and dropped safely on my 'words site'

It seemed important, right and relevant to reference it here as I build the archives of frameworks and models relevant to People First.

For sense-making - not categorization.
