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. Itās a steady and slow WIP as I check each entry, so do please bear with me.š§ Toying with the idea of a new post category on the site - āLiving Pagesā.
Then scrapping the ārealā pages altogether.
In this way, I can keep the pages updated in Drafts and use the excellent plugin from @donnydavis to manage ā¦
Any thoughts as to what might go wrong?

More on this, in the comments, soon, like I often do.
š§ Not sure what the plan is … or even if there is a plan … but I would vote from some more thought into how pages work on Micro Blog. Everything works just fine for a handful, but I am now over 20 and counting. It is starting to get hard to keep track of them with just a list;

I popped in a couple of posts recently that are part of what I am naming the ‘New Zealand Jigsaw’.

They also said they overspent on things like ācoordination costs.ā Thatās not a term Iāve heard before, but I suspect it is a reflection of getting too big and too inefficient. š¬ Jessica Lessin It's a new term to me aswell - BUT recently on LinkedIN there was a meme running around - which used this graphic.
Shoshana Zuboff calls this development The Coup We Are Not Talking About. The subhead of that essay makes the choice clear: We can have democracy, or we can have a surveillance society, but we cannot have both. Her book, The Age of Surveillance Capitalism: The Fight for a Human Future at the New Frontier of Power, gave us a name for what weāre up against. A bestseller, it is now published in twenty-six languages.
In my book āFor Business Leaders Slapped In The Face By A World They Thought They Knewā, I referenced an organization called 'The Prout Institute'. It came to mind as I watched this relatively unwatched (in the big scheme of things) video. Andrew Pancholi is definitely an interesting man. It's a 2022 video - but predates the invasion of Ukraine, though not the build-up with the result that we have an immediate feedback loop on some aspects of how right or wrong his thinking is.
š§ I wanted to write this post as a permanent test of applying āfootnotesā on my blog. Here in the time line it is almost certainly going to look weird if there isnāt a title - but the idea is to improve the reading experience on the site - and then of course explore what it might look like in an RSS feed.
