I think--and have friends in cyber security and politics who say--the push towards extremism is happening from the inside out. Political/PR analytics platforms play a powerful role in this dynamic, and I often wonder if the optimization for wider and wider binaries is a function of software and "path of least resistance" in targeting organized by algorithms. #politics #binaries #software

Assigning labels to each political side doesn't fully capture the nuances of different ideologies and can lead to misrepresentation. In discussions about societal goals, it's common for both sides to agree on the objectives but differ in their methods to achieve them. This is in contrast to fields like business or engineering, where a variety of problem-solving methods are employed, ideally grounded in science and data. The political landscape may often be polarized into two dominant sides, but decisions should be based on reasoned analysis rather than partisanship. This perspective makes me excited about the potential of AGI. Although I lack specific data, I'm curious if our collective intelligence has reached a plateau.

As a manager, I implement the power of grace in my leadership style, thanks to community leader Sean Goode. Sean's concept of "unapologetic grace" promotes forgiveness before wrongdoing, creating a safe space for people to share their truths and bridge differences. Let's drive system change through the power of grace. #Relationships #Communication #Community #PersonalGrowth #Humanity

🤔 "If you have monstrosities happening at your doorstep and you don't do anything to prevent them, you become an associate and share the punishment." 🧐 Let's explore this thought-provoking statement through the lenses of three great minds: Aristotle's Perspective: Aristotle, the ancient philosopher, believed in moral responsibility within a community. He'd argue that inaction in the face of wrongdoing reflects a lack of courage and moral virtue. Failing to intervene makes one complicit in the wrongdoing. Alexander the Great's Perspective: The historic military leader valued collective action. For him, not preventing monstrosities weakens a community's collective strength. Passivity may lead to the community's downfall, with all, including the inactive, sharing in the consequences. Nietzsche's Perspective: Nietzsche, the critic of conventional morality, might argue for individualism. Those who don't act may be expressing their will to power, creating their own values. They should not be judged by conventional standards and may not consider themselves associates in the punishment. Different perspectives, one thought-provoking statement. What's your take on this? 🤔 #Philosophy #MoralResponsibility #Community

As time passes, both individuals and society as a whole develop a greater awareness of their consciousness. I came across a video I recorded in January 2022 and released last year. It might resonate more with you now as you reflect on your life and the current state of the world. Embracing our true selves can lead to a brighter future for all of us. https://lnkd.in/gZkg4xXg

0.2%. Watch this. If you’re wondering why we are in this situation and why we must get through it and how we will get through this. Watch this. If you’re feeling the weight and the drain on the daily scratching away at the massive mountain of false arguments against us and need an inspirational reality reminder. Watch this. If you’re Jewish or not Jewish and are confused about what Jews actually brought to the world… perhaps know or feel subliminally the injustice of blaming the injustice on those who actually invented justice. Watch this. If you need a little perspective and food for your mind, heart and soul ….. Watch this. 0.2%. Watch this.

Such a great topic. Reflecting on the values and beliefs you have ‘inherited’- until you truely understand if they actually serve your purpose and what you stand for can be a huge turning point. Until you do this can you really be sure of who you are?
