Clayton Christensen, listening, after language + writing, wild built
What I read this week
💡 how will you measure your life - Clayton Christensen, HBR
When people ask what I think they should do, I rarely answer their question directly. Instead, I run the question aloud through one of my models. I’ll describe how the process in the model worked its way through an industry quite different from their own. And then, more often than not, they’ll say, “OK, I get it.”
💛 listening -
It's pretty unbelievable how much people will say if you let them. Kevin Kelly says, "Being able to listen well is a superpower. While listening to someone you love, keep asking them 'Is there more?' until there is no more."
🤖 life after language - Venkatesh Rao,
It seems obvious to me that machines will communicate with each other in a much more expressive and efficient latent language, closer to a mind-meld than communication, and human language will be relegated to a “last-mile” artifact used primarily for communicating with humans.
💡 AI & the end of writing - ia.net
The hope is that through the right use of machines, we learn to be different from them. If you use AI mindfully, not to fool others but to question yourself, to think deeper and to better control your self-expression instead of automating it, there is a chance that you will understand more and not less.
📚 psalm for the wild built - Becky Chambers
It is difficult for anyone born and raised in human infrastructure to truly internalize the fact that your view of the world is backward. Even if you fully know that you live in a natural world that existed before you and will continue long after.
I see you, I love you, have a great week,
