The Frames of Awareness
The new Model X from Tesla
This is major a leap in car design and gives a good sense of where we are going. Environmental awareness doesn’t have to mean walking in grass shoes and eating carrots. Tesla is the Apple of cars. This is the america I love which I believe has a lot to offer the world, not wars and that destructive crap.
The cognitive map controls the world
“Most societies have an elite, an elite trying to stay in power, and the way to stay in power is not to control the means of production, to be Marxist, controlling the money, but by controlling the cognitive map”.
Said by Gillian Tett, assistant editor Financial Times and Journalist of the Year 2009 British Press Awards in the upcoming documentary "Four Horsemen". 23 people break their silence and explain how the world really works.The next big trend explained
Listen to John Perkins. An excellent description of what is happening in the world and the next big trend of awareness. If you want to do business in a near future you better pay attention to the strong revolution of awareness.
Brainstorming does not work
An article in Co.Design claims Brainstorming doesn’t work. You are more creative when you work alone. I believe it’s true. When you work alone you are better connected to your inner self. And you can detach yourself from other people’s influence.I recently participated in a workshop organized around the concept of brainstorming. What I found was that my ideas got lost. When presenting the groups common idea I didn’t feel for them as I perhaps should.
A better idea is to get people informed, make them be inspired, aware, and then let them do their own thinking. The outcome of that process will be a lot of clean non filtered ideas coming from peoples inner world. A much better basket to pick your ideas from.
Games from Humble Bundle – pay what you want
Humble Bundle is an extremely interesting concept. They make games for all platforms, including Linux. You pay what you want. If you want. You can choose to pay a part of the sum to charity. The games are DRM free. An example of an Aware company that is at one with its time. Something for other companies and leaders to be inspired by. Doing it in a beautiful manner increases the value in my eyes.
