BS : I used this story to tee up one of the central questions the book asks: What does it mean to have a strong and enduring sense of self when everything is always changing, including you? I am fascinated by this paradox. We all want to be solid and stable, and yet we are also constantly undergoing these shifts to our sense of self. I wanted to... See more

Creativity is the world’s greatest recycling program. I like how Nike designer Tinker Hatfield framed it, via @bpoppenheimer newsletter:
“When you sit down to create something...what you create is a culmination of everything you’ve seen and done previous to that point.” https://t.co/OOvK9fSPdZ

Mindset Management?
A huge part of your job today may be simply resolving and reconfiguring the natural entropy in your office, but poorly communicated deadlines will remain so whether they’re written on an index card, sent in an email, or appended to a “task” in Asana.

This is a common error, which existed long before AI. In fact, generating (or selecting) good ideas is a key challenge. LLMs so far seem to be about as good as the internet at generating lots of quite generic ideas - those who can select the ones that match their context (and yes, then, execute on them) are the ones who will have a chance to succeed.
It is difficult to overstate the advantage of intensely thinking about things in a world coated with a film of unthinking inertia. But it is also difficult to convey.
Simon Sarrisx.comThis advice may sound familiar; it lies at the heart of books like Blink and Gary Klein’s The Power of Intuition, which promise to help readers harness their gut feelings. But for executives taught to methodically frame problems, consider alternatives, collect data, weigh the options, and then decide, cultivating emotional self-awareness may seem... See more

learning how to think really means learning how to exercise some control over how and what you think. It means being conscious and aware enough to choose what you pay attention to and to choose how you construct meaning from experience. Because if you cannot exercise this kind of choice in adult life, you will be totally hosed. Think of the old... See more
- The digital world has almost no friction.
- The physical world is full of it.
- And in certain curated space s - like the West Village, or your AI companion -friction has been turned into something you can pay to remove.
