“Independence is a prerequisite to the wisdom of crowds.” — Kahneman, Sibony and Sunstein

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

In a changing world, expertise quickly becomes obsolete without humility and curiosity.

Expertise is what you know. Humility is knowing what you don’t know. Curiosity is how much you want to learn.

Expertise yields insight today. Humility and curiosity fuel growth tomorrow.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

We pay too much attention to the most confident voices—and too little attention to the most thoughtful ones.

Certainty is not a sign of credibility. Speaking assertively is not a substitute for thinking deeply.

It's better to learn from complex thinkers than smooth talkers.

I have $10K to donate to a nonprofit org — who’s doing great work?

#Oakland preferred.

Reunited with a mentor and friend today after some turbulent times.

Man, it felt good. Affirming. Constructive. A reconciliation.

If you have a standing, but strained, relationship that has potential to become whole again, tap in.

It’s worth it.

My dad was at the last Beatles concert.

No, he didn’t know it either.

I’d love to know what $20ish bottle of red wine you think is better than Broc Cellars’ Love Red.

I’ll definitely wait.

@amirazizphotos I’m Oakland? There are Just Cause eviction requirements, and tenants are pretty well protected in many cases.

End of an era! Been passing by that shop since Jacques Cousteau was on Channel 9!

After 83 years in Oakland, this Saturday will be Steele's last day in business. I hope someone saves that rusty scuba diver sign! https://t.co/e09ZGuVVT2

Sincerely appreciate all the incredible orgs doing amazing work in Oakland. Thanks to the many of you who added new ones to my radar.

Closing replies, as I now have my work cut out for me to review your suggestions!

There are two primary strains of right-wing Christian Nationalism in America at the moment. 🧵

1) the most extensive, called Seven Mountains theology, bubbled up from independent charismatic entrepreneurs like Lance Wallnau.

@annapickard I wanted a social media that was more like my social network. And for a good decade it was close enough.

Today’s don’t bear any real resemblance. A true lull in a platform that has so much continuing potential if it could be meaningfully detoxified.

Turns out most people like a democracy that includes voting.

[NPR Politics @nprpolitics]

Election deniers running in competitive states for secretary of state — which in most places oversees the voting process — generally underperformed fellow Republicans on the ballot for three other statewide positions: Senate, governor and attorney general. https://t.co/mUQcnU5VOp
