Dang! The LDS church (Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) is obviously big in Utah, but I wasn't expecting one of the LDS church leaders to talk at Silicon Slopes. It makes sense, though! People move here for work or school and obviously have questions about the church. Also, the church is the biggest organization in Utah, and makes non-trivial use of technology. Some cool insight here on how the LDS church - manages its spend and members' tithing - views politics, technology, AI, diversity/equity/inclusion - manages a worldwide organization run primarily by volunteers - broadcasts general conference all over the world 2x/year--there's a whole localization process - what it's mission statement is--I didn't realize there was one (strengthen families, help poor and needy, help people learn teachings of Jesus) https://lnkd.in/g85WYzcg

𝗩𝗶𝗰𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗚𝗹𝘂𝘀𝗵𝗸𝗼𝘃: 𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗥𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿 online exhibition of IT Museum DataArt Today is the centennial of Victor Glushkov, a computer science pioneer who led the Institute of Cybernetics in Kyiv for over two decades and hugely influenced Ukrainian and the world's IT industry. I started studying his works and ideas several years ago. Then I reached his daughter Vera and recorded an interview with her. Later, we worked together to digitalize her father's archive, including the voice records made in 1982, which were his last memoirs. Some parts had already been published, but never in a complete version altogether and never in English, and we decided to prepare a new issue by 2023. Vera Glushkova and our team wanted to make a special dedication to Victor Glushkov's 100th anniversary, publishing his memoirs in English and Ukrainian with comments and remarks for a broad audience. Sadly, Vera passed away in May and cannot witness this tribute. Please visit our online exhibition "Victor Glushkov: Insights to Remember" and see that his ideas still sound up-to-date. He challenged many typical Soviet practices and articulated management one can apply even today. He did that without guidance, literature, or mentors, proving that the modern focus on business problems and use cases, task delegation and trust, teamwork, and soft skills are consistent with the East European engineering culture.

Yuval Noah Harari - with his book "Homo Sapiens, a Brief history of Humankind" - is probably the contemporary historian and philosopher that made me meditate the most and change view on various themes. This recent video is entertaining and insightful, especially his illuminating thoughts on humans being the most effective species at cooperating and convincing each others with storytelling. https://lnkd.in/ewr2HdSz

🎉 Very excited that my article, stemming from the research conducted for my master's thesis defended in 2022 at the Higher School of Economics (HSE), has just been published! It delves into the intricate relationship between cult leaders and their followers, drawing insights from psychoanalytic theory. From pathological narcissism to the dynamics of cults and even aspects of masochism, it's a deep dive into fascinating terrain https://lnkd.in/dhcfvPhE
