Everyone in the world has to take a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press?

@waitbutwhy @cesifoti Parental conundrum: Do I talk my kids through this problem?

Because:
1. They’ll probably choose blue.
2. That’s how I’m raising them.

Big question:

3. Do I walk them through it so they choose red—
and risk undermining my values-based parenting?

The algorithm spots the trend. Temu gets to work. The factory produces it, the platform (Instagram and TikTok) distributes it, all before the original gets cold. The industry that built the algorithms couldn’t escape the algorithmic thinking

What an important post from @om about the blinding conformity of our times. And what we need to do to get more colorful again

Most experiences try to be cosy, familiar, relatable

Interesting exploration by ⁦⁦⁦@alexjmurrell⁩ about the convergence of creativity in #design, #branding, #advertisement, #architecture, etc. https://t.co/q7sPFGny21

What an interesting yet bleak bleak framing of the future political, economic and ecological development. Obviously oversimplified, but love the attempt of classification

How there was an accidental Corona-like outbreak in Word of Warcraft and what we can learn from it. Unfortunately not a solution :/

Why investors misunderstand the #esports opportunity.

As someone who sank some good money in the entertainment/games vertical I can relate. Easy to get excited about trends, hard to think them through AND be right about it... Good read @LondonVP⁩ https://t.co/JV9Ccz0Syy

China can’t have innovation, science, entrepreneurship AND top-down economy, suppressive policies, etc.

It’s all about #freedom or no freedom.

I prefer other weekly reporting over @theweek but their covers are on point! So sharp and witty.

This one is such a great summary of this crazy year in US #politics. #DC
