I'm declaring email and social inbox "bankruptcy" this week—marking everything as read and then archiving.

It's the only to figure out what actually needs my focus.

Also: if you're waiting on me for something, it's probably a good idea to send me a new message. ;)

I’m looking for folks who study formal logic, and/or the role of axioms in mathematical reasoning and the creation of theorems.

Yes, that’s pretty much the definition of “niche,” but I figure asking is the fastest way of finding.

So, who do you know? Who should I know?

These, my friends, are examples of "though-terminating clichés" (TTCs). What is that? It's a familiar phrase used to end a discussion or argument.

It's also a major tool of totalitarian regimes.

Anyone here a fan or scholar of Habermas and/or communicative action theory?

Would love to talk with an expert as I work on early drafts of my dissertation proposal.

A little #Bluesky throwback to January's #NSANYC meeting where I got to meet @tamsenwebster.bsky.social and hear some of her brilliant wisdom! #NationalSpeakersAssociation #ChrisFitzpatrickSpeaks #TamsenWebster

Yesterday, during one of my live training sessions 👩🏻‍💻, a client was struggling to get traction for her idea: convincing her stakeholders that targeting the 50+ market was worth it.

So I asked her why *she* thought it was worth it, so I could hear the case she was making to others.

I was someone who was stuck in the belief that the “right” way to make a message heard was to put myself (or my clients) at the center and to use psychological tricks and gimmicks to get attention and engagement. 🪄🎩🐇
