Talk about anchoring (from the New York Times talking about when to retire): “In 1881, the conservative German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, plagued by a rise in socialist ideology, proposed a national retirement benefit to appease the leftist masses. He set the retirement age at 70. Average life expectancy at the time? About 40 years.” [https://lnkd.in/g-hjW4sX]

The lesson? When you introduce a new idea, think carefully about where you are anchoring things.

To do something “agile”, make it small. Smaller than you can imagine would be worth anything. Then make it smaller. Then make it smaller again. This is a great way to learn.

On AI: the problems in the world today are not problems of intelligence, artificial or human. They are problems of will, empathy, embodiment and emotion. AI will not and cannot help there.

I just noticed a bunch of connection requests from people who follow me here. My rule of thumb for that is: I need at least a personal note to go along with the request. Especially if we’ve never met (online or IRL). If you asked to connect and I did not accept, that’s probably why.
