Mad Men creator said the show was never about advertising. It was about the gap between what people want and what they can actually have. "Happiness is always in that gap in between," he said. Don is a man who has everything the era told him to want, and cannot feel any of it.
Sally, I always worried about you because you marched to the beat of your own drum, but now i know that’s good. I know your life will be an adventure.
I love you. Mom.

@Nlacombe_ J’ai passé l’année aux US et l’expérience a totalement changé mon rapport à tellement de chose : au travail, mes centres d’intérêts, à mon rapport à l’autre surtout. Une prise de maturité et de recul sur la vie. J’espère que ton expérience t’aideras à trouver ce que tu cherches.

Une vidéo intéressante qui vient compléter ton post à mon sens : lorsque l'on mesure cet impact, comment nos Etats réagissent ? Comment rediriger notre éducation à l'IA pour en faire, comme tu le dis, un amplificateur de la pensée ?
Zinedine Zidane's instructions in his first Clásico as Real Madrid coach, against a Barcelona that at the time had a front three of Messi–Suárez–Neymar:
From the very start, Zidane made the strategy clear: an organised and intelligent press on Barça's build-up from the defensive third.
He told the players:
“When Barcelona starts building from the back, we need to press with a 4 against 3 structure.”
"Cristiano your job is to cut off the pass between the goalkeeper and the first centre-back. Benzema, you go for Busquets and block his passing lanes. Bale, press the second centre-back."
That way, we'll force Busquets to drop back to receive the ball—and that will make Barça lose their numerical superiority in midfield."
He then added:
“Kroos and Modrić, don't let the ball reach Iniesta or Rakitić.
Iniesta will try to come inside through the centre to pull you out of position and create space for Suárez or Messi. Casemiro, at that moment, you mark Iniesta.”
If Iniesta or Rakitić receive the ball, press them with maximum intensity to force them to play it back to Busquets.
The goal is to close off all vertical passing lanes to Busquets and leave him only with the wide options, forcing Barcelona to play out wide.
That way, we'll make Suárez stay wide on the flank to try to stretch the field—and out there, he doesn't pose a real threat.
As for Messi, his marking is the responsibility of the whole team; it depends on where he positions himself on the field, not just one player."
Those were the foundations of Zidane's plan, a plan of calm, clarity, and genius.
At that moment, Real Madrid was going through a tough phase: the press was saying the team was finished, that “Cristiano Ronaldo was done,” and the squad had come off a tough loss in the first leg of the Clásico, before Zidane's arrival.
But Zidane restored balance and confidence to the group—and secured a crucial win in the Clásico.
A bit of Zizou genius.
@Nlacombe_ Meme ressenti. Je me suis rendu compte à quel point je pouvais être productif en faisant abstraction de tout « le bruit » autour de moi. La nostalgie a sûrement quelque chose à voir avec le fait de l’avoir, mais je pense que, même sans le réussir, on peut en tirer du positif.
