Prerequisites to earn trust:

1) Familiarity
To trust you, someone needs to know you or at least feel like they do (parasocial relationships count)

2) Shared values
If they know you see the world similarly, they’re more likely to believe your assurances, predictions, and interpretations

Before moving from my role at Google to Snowflake I sat down and did a braindump of all the guidelines that I follow (or followed at one point and wanted to reintroduce).

For those interested, here are the ~34 guidelines that made the cut

BREAKING: MIT just completed the first brain scan study of ChatGPT users & the results are terrifying.

Turns out, AI isn't making us more productive. It's making us cognitively bankrupt.

Here's what 4 months of data revealed:

Smart people are quiet.

Strong people are calm.

Wealthy people are private.

Being angry and loud is nothing to be proud of.

I always feel better when I internalize my problems as literally only self imposed by me

When I’ve tried to blame others or outside circumstances it’s actually much more stressful, there’s less control

Taking full 100% accountability for the status of your life is real freedom

🚜@farmingUK had a positive piece on Bovaer a chemical used to reduce methane emissions in cows. Retired GP Dr Jennine Morgan @jemmm85517813 replied to them.

"The chemical was found in 4/5 samples of milk tested. It was also found in liver, adrenals, muscle & brain. Ovary size was reduced. Rats treated with it failed to get pregnant.

"Do you deny it says this in the study documents? Moreover, what effect does it have on soils, small mammals, insects, birds, worms etc? where are the studies? What effect does it have on the microbiome of cows?"

Farming UK deleted their post.

Copy and pasted from FB….

“This was written by a farmer friend of ours

The microbiome of the cow is without doubt one of the most truly amazing examples of natures perfections. It possesses the ability to convert low quality vegetation, via the microbial process, into meat and milk of superior nutritious value. Furthermore its’ waste products serve to nourish the soil and sustain local ecology.
I despair at these nouveau scientists, who are reductionist in their thought process, and, who foolishly believe they can ‘tamper’ with the fragilities of nature, and expect positive outcomes.
In my lifetimes experience as a farmer I have learnt one thing, and that is, you cannot cheat nature without dire consequence.
By chemically altering the microbiota of the cow, this, will in turn have a negative influence on the animals immune system, bearing in mind 70 per cent of the immune system comes from the gut. If we consider epigenetic changes further down the line, and its influence on the entire food chain, then the consequences to humans are limitless and unthinkable.
When these agendas are forced upon us with such vigour, then it only serves to arouse suspicion, and begs to ask the question, why?
If you ‘follow the science,’ eventually the trail tends to go cold, then you pick up a new trail and arrive at that destination which starts and ends with money, power, and control of the human population.
Before being swept along with the latest media pedalled campaigns, please consider these powerful agendas very carefully, allow common sense to prevail and put your trust in the ancient ways of mother nature.

The creative process can't be planned, and it has to be difficult. Otherwise the answer would be obvious. The key insights often don't arrive until you're halfway through the implementation. Wishing you were smarter/wiser on day 1, so you could have avoided the twists, is silly.
