Check out my latest article: On narrative cognition: do WEIRD folk live in a three act narrative prison? And what's outside it? https://t.co/WlkEP27eyB via @LinkedIn

[Daniel Pink @DanielPink]

We often mistake cynicism for intelligence. But the truth? Cynics tend to score lower on cognitive and academic tests.

The real sign of intelligence is openness—to new ideas, experiences, and perspectives. Want to think better? Stay open.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Your attention span isn’t fixed. It increases with practice.

Evidence: After 20min sessions solving cognitively challenging problems (10-20hrs total), students show significant gains in sustained focus and test scores.

Like physical stamina, mental stamina requires exercise.

@ericweinstein The exact same! I am a narratologist. Bubbles are my bread and butter. I just never take anything personally :)

Exactly :) The Jaguar Ad is facile and neutered, antiseptic and superficial. This old goat is the real deal :)

[dave trott @davetrott]

Just how 'daring' is Jaguar's imagery compared to this ad from 30 years ago?

This is basically how I'm performing the fast 16th note guitar part in the King Crimson song "Frame by Frame". I made a quick video while warming up for a gig one night so sorry for the bad audio. I perform this differently every night, enjoy!

I was using my Spark MINI Vai.

What is a Large Language Model? Is it accurate to say it "models" language?

In a seminar last week, @sabawalid detailed how #LLMs model "statistical regularities" in language, and detailed "bottom-up reverse-engineering of language at scale."

@KBRH87 Thanks!

[Narratologist // Strategy & Story @steveseager]

@KBRH87 Many thanks, Kasper, but that has expired. Any chance of sending a new one?

The Danish group @InnovisorInc has identified "6 change blockers" based on analysis of networks/influence/change with organisations in 70+ countries. The 6 blockers are:
1) Leadership cohesion - leadership teams are more siloed than any other kind of team
2) The fragmentation or even disconnection of internal teams
3) Misalignment between the senior team & the people in the organisation who are most influential
4) Disengagement & lack of commitment to the change from employees
5) Lack of leadership follow through
6) A project team that has not been set up for success

"As much as narratives are communication devices, they are also valuable tools for formulating and testing strategies: Spelling things out — even if only for yourself — helps to structure thoughts and identify flaws in your logic." #strategicnarrative https://t.co/340AmJN8jB

Trees are sanctuaries. Whoever knows how to speak to them, whoever knows how to listen to them, can learn the truth. They do not preach learning and precepts, they preach, undeterred by particulars, the ancient law of life.

Disagreements — when managed well — have lots of positive outcomes, such as better work products, opportunities to learn and grow, better relationships, and a more inclusive work environment. https://t.co/xa35KnWhv2
