At some point we’re going to have to realize that we can’t keep having conversations about complex, nuanced topics with a single perspective lens.

Discussions on US immigration and foreign policy without including our involvement in various countries in the Middle East, the Caribbean, and both South and Central America, leave out large contributing factors to the current state of those countries.

To not acknowledge our decades of involvement various countries, is like being mad that animals are invading our neighborhoods while not acknowledging that we’ve been destroying/disrupting their habitats.

A significant portion of people selling courses are just remixing what they read in books. They often steal lines word for word from 1 or 2 books. Especially in the marketing, branding & investing industries. Most of what’s in their paid course is available online for free.

The moment you stop seeking validation is when you start winning.

teapaw.org/thetechbrother/status/… This is exactly what I meant. Figure made this happen by gathering up different people from Boston Dynamics, Tesla, Google and Archer Aviation. He took different pieces together and made this. Imagine what happens when HIS company is just one piece.
What’s scary is when all of these different pieces come together, what THAT can be used for and what happens after. Shinkolobwe was nothing. It had a completely different purpose until 1938. Then someone added another piece and then 1945 happens 💣🚀

The scary thing about The Truman Show isn’t that his entire life was manufactured. It isn’t the fact that there were things to subtly influence the way he thinks and the actions he takes. It isn’t him being treated like he’s in a zoo. It’s the fact that everyone watched.

STOP blindly taking advice from online “experts.” ASK questions! Who are they? What are their qualifications? So many of these life & job coaches, or finance & marketing experts are just reselling free info or worse, and more likely, stealing your time and $ with false info.

I can’t be the only one noticing chatgpt, be it 3 or 4, getting “dumber”. I mean I’m getting 5 different answers for very basic addition and subtraction prompts. Honestly I feel sorry for the people using chatgpt for work or school and just blinding trusting the answers.

So even if you don’t have Threads, Meta is inserting Threads posts on Instagram timelines? Cool.😐 At what point does user experience matter? Or rather when did it stop mattering?

3 things you can do today for an easier Monday: 1/ Look at next week's projects. Build outlines, write drafts or sketch wireframes now. Next week, it will be easier to start with something rather than nothing. Plus, you’ll have the added benefit of revisting that draft with fresh eyes. 2/ Write non-urgent follow-up emails now. Schedule them for Monday morning. Downside to sending now? You risk putting pressure on the recipient to reply over the weekend. And if they do reply, you put pressure on yourself to work over the weekend. 3/ Copy & paste your quick unfinished to-do's into a calendar invite 9-10am. Time block and tackle them first thing Monday. Reduce your cognitive load by already having those to-do’s decided.

Everyone can’t have a subscription. Everybody can’t have an app. Pretty soon companies and creators are going to have to figure something else out. Or maybe a new method of paid content with arise. More likely major companies will partner to house content together.

Creators are going to feel the aftermath of the shift too. Fans damn near need to make 6 figures just to show support to 10 creators. VS paying a fee to one centralized network.

I think the video, content, music streaming bubbles are going to pop within the next 3-6 years.

“You know, and I know, that the country is celebrating one hundred years of freedom one hundred years too soon. We cannot be free until they are free.” - James Baldwin, The Fire Next Time The meaning of this quote was true then and it’s meaning is still true now.

Marketing is about understanding people. It’s that simple. And that hard.

Meta plans to make a Twitter like app? So Twitter…but an ad every 4th tweet on the timeline. Plus an ad every 4th tweet on everyone’s profile. Plus an ad in the middle of videos and at the bottom of videos. Plus a separate feed, aka the main feed, just for ads.
