The use of mobile phones by rich kids
|
According to constraint theory, the greatest human bottleneck is attention. Yes. Our attention is our most finite resource. Even more finite and valuable than our time. Now, think about why Meta is so valuable. And Elon wanted X. And so on… Indeed, the quality and depth of our attention determines the quality of our time. Most people’s attention is scattered, tugged, and seemingly never right here and right now. The rich know this well. In the US, the top 1% don’t allow kids to interact with phones until 11… And this is going up. They want their kids to know how to interact with real humans… face to face. Now, pay attention. In your next meeting think about attention. Mobiles, tablets, laptops on the table. Think of it. What kind of human interaction are you having. What are you doing to improve this?

You don’t need a PPP Certificate from the World Bank to understand this. So… If you spend your life watching...
According to the market research company Harris Poll, 52% of people between 16 and 26 wish social media had never been invented. Con dos c0jones. If they are not your clients or employees or colleagues now, they will be very soon. What’s this telling you? Simple. Worry less about technology and much more about experience and understanding. Most people out there are obsessed with how to implement AI, but are incapable of empathizing with their neighbor’s human pain or joy. Don’t stress about...
I’ve never seen anybody truly making anything great just by waiting. Just by not taking action. Just by letting train after train leave the station. Tomorrow. When I finish the next free-course. Or the next certification. Or when I come back from holidays. Or when I have time “in the summer”. Or when I read “that” book. Or else. Pray and wait is a strategy for failure. Or mediocracy.
