Dealing with a difficult person or legal situation? Explore the #psychology of the people involved. Make records around points 1, 2 and 3. Exploring points 4, 5 and 6 may turn on a lightbulb. That's been my experience for decades.

To share with friends, over six months I made a selection from the 14,000 pieces. In 2026 I wrote notes on factors influencing the selection of the shared 3,000 piece. This is the contents page of of those notes - Curated Selection Music Notes.

Anglophone cultural history | My music collection of 14,000 pieces has a concentration from 1962 to 1972. As one slice of those years, below is a table listing the release years of studio albums from 1962 to 2023 by Bob Dylan, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd.

I prompted AI to translate into an image what I've verbally asked for decades: "Imagine if war planes dropped books, not bombs, over the Middle East. What impact would that have had on the people below?"
What are the costs of the war of aggression against Iran? US$25 B? US$50 B?

The takeaway for me, as a business innovation lawyer who has worked with wine makers & retailers, is that certain innovations suit certain cultural contexts.
Best reference I suggest is my favourite book: Hall, Peter (1998) Cities in Civilization. Weidenfeld & Nicolson. 1169 pp.

This table from Google Gemini captures the essence of the astonishing difference between military expenditure this century by the USA compared to Iran.

MILITARY EXPENDITURES COMPARED, US & IRAN 2000-2024. To compare, prompted Claude, ChatGPT & Gemini for a bar graph. Their raw data differed a bit, but results were effectively the same.

In this ChatGPT two-scale graph, USA (blue) scale is on left, Iran (green) scale on right.

@SamDalrymple123 A little correction @SamDalrymple123. The Holy Nazareth Church was completed in 1688. It is near the Burrabazar in the Central Kolkata. Many of my immediate and extended family went to the nearby Armenian College.

The church's Wikipedia page is here: https://t.co/tKcmLs2OD1...
