Hey brain 🧠

...whatcha doin'? As I've mentioned a few 😉 times here already, sometimes my brain keeps going back to the same topics again and again. Sometimes it's easily explained, as it's something that's currently important in my life, like when I was preparing to move, or now with the preparation with the upcoming surgery. Sometimes it's something that is "in need of an answer or explanation", and I just can't seem to find those, so I keep pondering on it. And sometimes, I just start to write and it pops up as I go along... And I do keep sharing all these posts. Maybe it's just for me? But maybe it can also show others that they're not alone, if they have these recurring thoughts as well. I don't know if it's more of a NeuroSpicy 🌶️ treat, or if NT folks have "issues" like this as well... But lately, with my ADHD being more present at times, it seems to be happening more... […]

Tech Bro Innovation

Patrick Boyle in “Tech Bros Inventing Things That Already Exist”

Zum Jahresende ist an sich immer eine gute Zeit, sich über das kommende Jahr Gedanken zu machen. Und nicht nur das, auch zurückblicken ist auch immer eine gute Idee, damit man die gleichen Fehler im neuen Jahr nicht wiederholt.

Da ich ja nun in Tech arbeite, habe ich Tech-Jahresrückblicke geschaut. Und ich bin bei diesem Video von Patrick Boyle hängengeblieben. Wegen dem Titel, “Tech Bros inveting things that already exist”.

Patrick ist zwar im Finanzsektor beheimatet, aber er fasst ein Phänomen hervorragend zusammen, das ich bisher im wesentlichen nur als Bauchgefühl mit mir herumgetragen habe: dass viel Quatsch erfunden wird, der bei Lichte betrachtet schon existiert. Eine Saftpresse, Trinkflaschen für die es Apps gibt, solchen Dinge. Ich bin ja selbst nicht unschuldig daran, dass es Smart Lighting gibt.

Gerade weil Innovation oft nicht gleich als “Disruptiv” zu erkennen ist, wird das Wort viel zu inflationär benutzt, noch bevor eine Innovation sich als solche bewiesen hat.

Und im Rückblick fällt dann auf, dass viel vermeintliche Innovation oft einfach nur eine schlechte Wiederholung ist. Tech macht halt nicht alles besser.

[I/II] What a great picture!

#Musk and #Twitter /#x do not have so much power over whole populations opinion, because so many people follow their tweets, but because the #media is constantly #repeating what is said on this sodden piece of #technology

Media that should be #independent is repeating this horrific #authoritarian for free, helping to plant his ideas in the brains of millions he could not reach otherwise

Politicians started to use

Self-denial, GroupThink denial, #MassDenial ABOUNDS!

Abounds, abounds, abounds, #Repeating

1. Love Donald Trump, Hate Mexicans
2. hate Donald Trump.

Those two groups combined are still HATE groups. 100% hate, the entire population, ALL of the USA, TOTALITY!

Surkov + Cambridge Analytica achieved this, and the DENIAL is EVERYWHERE!

"Now you live in a world of hate and fear, and the people who hate and fear do not even know it themselves; when everyone is transformed, no one is transformed."

Let’s hope they will, but we should take every chance we get to help accelerating the process in order to quickly gain a critical mass, which hasn’t happened yet, as far as I understand.
Again: Apart from spreading the word on all external channels, only #boosting / #repeating and #following really helps, but “ #favoriting ” not so much! ⚠️

#Twitter was broken long before #Musk appeared but he hasn’t done any good to it, either. Need to put it behind us, now!

The more of us anti-🇮🇱 people come here the better; can’t wait! Most larger groups have switched to #Telegram, though, which, for me and due to many reasons, is not an option.
