sho(r)ts: the extiction of idea & execution

when both ideas and execution are commoditized thanks to advances in technology, how do we adapt our current processes to make sense of our activities?

art

every like kills

there's too much longing for external acceptance and too little work on building oneself and spending time to know your own ground. Which kills what would potentially be the really important stuff - in art, innovation and elsewhere.

Wachet auf, ruft uns die Stimme (wake up, the voice calls us)

Digital services that are too easy and tailored liquidate difference; the constant flow of products liquidates our cycles. A provocation to rethink our rythms, the way we build products and the way we consume them. This is NOT a piece about filter bubbles (oh, please!). It goes well beyond that.

A public response to The Guardian on the impact and challenges of NFTs

The majority of NFTs are traded in blockchains that don't have a significant environmental impact. And they represent a true opportunity for all to achieve a better redistribution of wealth and prosperity.

sho(r)ts: process vs. goals

Process vs. goals (execution vs. idea) is a non-debate. Both are important. You don't need to read the article, this is enough. But you can, it's very short (it's a shot!).

About frictions: slowing down, or the art of the effort, or how streaming services degrade the joy of each single piece of content, or how art speaks human but technology per se does not.

We need to pause and reflect on how we experience the content we love. Baking the need for effort/friction into services increases the reward. Let's savour life and help others do as well.

AI

Total cognitive space

The way we architect what we do influences the total space of possibilities that we can reach in that activity. It is critical to understand this when dealing with our expectations regarding AI, organizational changes and, in general, the things we do and love.

Surfing the NFT wave as the bringer of the next consequential contribution to civilization

The craze of NFTs in art signals deep impact in everything we do. Decentralized, transparent, no-trust is sure to be in your life, sooner or later.

The strategy of learning before having a strategy

Before you commit to a strategy for whichever activity you set out to do, invest in exploring and learning first so you are prepared to understand what every step means.

A pledge to end the days of "capturing value"

"Capturing" value sounds... not too right. How about we start measuring what we do in terms of what is created and shared?

Social networks, filter bubbles and the largest opportunity to date to make human great again.

While we enjoy global conversations with unprecedented scale and reach, our platforms are far from enabling a greater understanding. There is growing preoccupation around the polarization of thought, but platforms still have the power to be the greatest tools for the universal evolution of thought.
