Who should be held accountable when consumers are scammed? Since #consumers are the victims, they can’t shoulder all the responsibility - platforms and financial service providers should be held accountable. Voluntary compliance is also not enough. #Regulation is the answer!

Ruto: If any Kenyan saves an amount, govt will give them money equivalent to a percentage of their saving

President Ruto: “Building back better from the bottom upwards is, essentially, about including the marginalized working majority in the economic mainstream.” The bottom billion relentlessly wage their daily battle for survival in a crowded arena x-rized by scarcity of opportunity

“…when the same false information repeated again and again, we often come to believe it is true. Troublingly, this even happens when people should know better - that is, when people initially know that the misinformation is false.” #behaviouralscience https://t.co/JNAxjzjnxA

To be relevant in the real world, behavioural interventions must take account of the context—and culture is a significant part of this. @schimmelrob & @mmuthukrishna propose a cultural evolution framework to address the ‘contextual gap’ in public policy: https://t.co/BBUwqx5sKC

I’ve found only 4 things that increase my baseline happiness:

1 - Time outside, ideally in nature

2 - Physical activity, preferably rigorous

3 - Meaningful relationships, with lots of play

4 - Work that has purpose, where I have agency

Here’s to more of all four in 2022 🍾🥂

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Great minds don’t think alike. They challenge each other to think differently.

The people who teach you the most are the ones who share your principles but not your thought processes.

Converging values draw you to similar questions. Diverging views introduce you to new answers.

Entrepreneur’s mind.
Athlete’s body.

[Robert Greene @RobertGreene]

A victory that is futile.

[James Clear @JamesClear]

You don’t need to catch every break if you’re willing to keep trying.

Every winner has an archive of many losses, but each attempt creates the chance for a victory.

You need to be patient, but not passive.

Active patience.

[Adelle Onyango @ADELLEO]

I hope one day you’ll remember who you are.

Remember your light
And how soft your strength was

Remember where exactly on this journey you left you
And be so drunk with courage that you’ll race back to you

I hope one day you’ll remember who you are.
