@Robertc1970 Do you think our need for immediacy has contributed to this “cultural stasis”?
Meaning: we no longer have the patience to wait for art/music/film/etc. to evolve, percolate, or become a “cultural artefact”. So we revert to the familiar as a way of guaranteeing an instant hit.
Change ‘games’ for (big) marketing, music, tech or film and the article still works. In fact, if it wasn’t for fashion - some fashion - we’d be starved of all intoxicating, infectious and beautifully insane exploration. https://t.co/FfBpk5zRAw
#EmpireOfPain was a fantastic read.
A Venn diagram of familial ambition, perils of innovation, advertising efficacy, heightened cognitive dissonance, fallibility of our institutions and ravenous greed (to mention a few) this book was worth the bloody wait.
Bravo, @praddenkeefe!
Pretty interesting: the logos for Elon's companies each have an industry-specific background.

Can't tell you the number of times I've gritted my teeth through meetings where the phrase "we're just being agile" euphemistically means there's no clear long-term strategy.
Thanks for the pointed/enjoyable read, Tom!
No matter how great an idea is, if it isn't socialized and positioned appropriately to the people who *really* matter, you're buggered!
Instructive read about the ownership and operations of football (post ESL-gate). Nice one, @stuwdesigner!
Now the dust is settling on the European Super League idea, was it *all* bad?
Whatever traditionalists insist to the contrary, the current product won’t be fit for purpose for the next generation of fans, writes @stuwdesigner in today's #SlowView

@kevinroose’s “EMAIL (Evidence + Motive + Actions + Intent + Labels) method” is an interesting framework for journalists to analyze hacked information. I wonder, how do you standardize this?
Fascinating case studies about the psychology of moral convictions - especially its impracticality.
A hard, but necessary, listen especially in today’s polarized world.

Hey, @joncrowley!
This article reminded me of the bombshell you dropped over drinks about “Maslow’s Pyramid” (i.e. how what we know is an “elitist misinterpretation of the psychologist’s work”).
Remember that? #ChatsPreCOVID

@robkhenderson@nytopinion Enjoyable read, @robkhenderson! Interesting question you pose at the end.
My guess: it’s a bit of both especially if you frame the question within Maslow’s Pyramid.
