In the old days, the rule was seven positives for every negative to maximize motivation/performance. The new rule is 30:1; e.g., Buckingham and Goodall)

Great idea.

Being able to chat with my Kindle highlights via @readwise.bsky.social new Chat function is 🤯. Finding stuff you are not specifically looking for, even asking the model about insights based on my personal tastes. Saving the stuff you like is starting to pay off bigtime.

Fully concur: great analysis of the current AI landscape "It might have just turned out that the relative GPU processing poverty of DeepSeek was the critical ingredient to make them more creative and clever, necessity being the mother of invention and all."

Fabulous piece. Let yourself (and your kids!) be bored.

"... many Americans no longer trust institutions. They prefer to receive their news from trusted individuals." and to those: "well done [...] Now hold yourselves to the same standards you demand from others." - Honest question: why would anyone? www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

"Take from the garden what your need. No more, no less." Contemplating the way our local CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) works, makes me consider the value of this lesson beyond vegetables. What if we considered the world around us in the same way?

Wonderful reminder to separate 'value creation' from 'value capture'. Play the long game, move beyond transactional thinking.

Ethan has a great way of supporting his views with sharing his own explorations, highly recommended read! As we move to more 'agentic AI' (the AI doing multiple steps itself), the human-AI team-dynamic will likely shift. Until now, interaction with the AI-intern sometimes felt like micro-managing.

Tom nails it imo. Carrying our biases and tendencies as we do, we do have a nack for gathering likeminded people around us when we're in power. When are we really inviting diversity of thought into our sphere? And how can we fight our tendencies best?

Great piece from @neuranne.bsky.social on 'wintering'. Wonderful reminder that striving for constant peak performance is defying our own nature. Harness the power of ups and downs in your days, weeks, months and seasons! nesslabs.com/wintering

We’re wired to save energy, hence our biases. Also, for art, less is often more, so our intuition might not serve us well under every circumstance.

Why is Holiday season still about buying stuff, while we’ve reached the borders of our ecological Petri dish? Can we make ‘not buying physical gifts’ a sign of developed society in spite of all marketing efforts to the contrary?

Since we’re sharing natural beauty around us on this platform, here’s the Dutch North Sea coast on a stormy day today. #beach #windy

“People have the consciences of saints but the consumption habits of monsters.” nails one of our biggest challenges imo. Long term consequences of short term decisions. Contemplating how an #AI angel on our shoulder could help us be our better selves.

Like in the comfort-stretch-stress framework, echo chambers feel like the first category, while downright bashing fits the last one. Alternating comfort and stretch yields best growth, so on to a nice mix of books, movies, sunsets and respectful debate! 🦋

👋 Love how everyone is introducing themselves here. Let’s see how we can translate irl systems that worked to the digital realm and make communities thrive without destruction. My name is Quinten, into ideas, building& innovating, teaching, food, conversation, everything water/ocean,music & optimism
