Naomi Klein ya explicó muy bien en La doctrina del Shock esta fase en la que nos encontramos: el aturdimiento. Es todo tan abrumador que nos replegamos, como reacción, que no como respuesta. Y quienes lo provocan y lo aprovechan lo saben.

Suisse Genève en 1972. Marcel Lachat vient d'avoir un enfant. Il lui manque une pièce dans son HLM. C'est la crise du logement, alors une nuit il installe une pièce en plus. C'est une bulle en voile de béton qu'il va accrocher sur la façade de l'immeuble.

"Resist the urge to think of your own past as a simpler time. The truth is, you were a child with a child’s understanding of the world... Do not make the choice to regress, no matter how much you wish things could be simple again."

El poder de Elon Musk no crece al ritmo de su dinero, sino al de su atención.

Hoy la información y el contenido existen en exceso. Lo escaso son nuestras mentes. Piensa en tu vida: ¿Añoras tener más información o más tiempo?

El mercado de la atención es el MERCADO.

Y está plagado de FALLOS 👇

Why this obsession with ‘I’ve got to go with my gut’? How do we retrain society away from this? You don’t have a ‘gut.’ Your ‘gut’ is anxiety, bias and received wisdom. Your gut is panicky and probably a little bit racist. Use your head instead.

La naturaleza voraz de la pérdida. La perdida de la memoria y la perdida del olvido.

Tan incapacitante es no poder recordar cómo no permitirse olvidar. Pensar entendido como la capacidad de abstraer, reducir y simplificar.

Accidental complexity is the blind spot in the software profession. No one seems to mind piling up accidental complexity on top of an already huge pile of accidental complexities.👇
