I've had these thoughts in my "Slides Content Repository" for decades. Today they morphed into this graphic, with raised eyebrow notes on AI.

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.

After the Amazon/MGM deal for the James Bond franchise settles, I'll update this post. "The intellectual property story behind the James Bond films provides practical guidance on how nurturing assets makes them grow, bear fruit & become a money magnet." #JamesBond

It was back in early 2020 when I was last inspired to write a similar piece. I titled it "The greatest unleashing of monetary stimulus in the history of the world". I see now that much of what I noted in 2020 created what is evident in the 185 slides and my 25 notes. www.linkedin.com/pulse/notes-...

I produced "Market Observations", 185 slides of visualisations on trade, GDP, currency, debt, equities, corporations, and the like.
Then I wrote "25 notes on the global #metacrisis", takeaways interpreting the visualisations.

My reading diet aims to build the quality of thought of Cory Doctorow. In 2023 I read his superb 2022 book CHOKEPOINT CAPITALISM, coauthored with Rebecca Giblin, an insightful professor at University of Melbourne Law School. She has deep expertise in music economics and law.

In 2024 I read 24 BOOKS, many were on my shelves for years. A green asterisk is a top FIVE STAR RATING. The list is eclectic, I had little direction. All but two were nonfiction. As in 2023, anthropology & sociology perspectives for me were fresh, deep and useful. History remains my main addiction.

As pictured, my reading was disciplined in 2023. Most I bought that year. My style preferences became acute. Favourites remain waterfalls of facts with footnotes, communicating insightful observations in finely wrought English.
I have a huge priorities list for 2025, aiming to direct book reading.
In 2024 I read 24 BOOKS, many were on my shelves for years. The list is eclectic, I had little direction. What is not random is my approach to reviewing books, see IMAGE 2. IMAGE 3 has my rating system and ratings for each book. In 2025 I'll be reading mostly ebooks, now with priorities set in 2024.

Still, too kind to those vile gang of US and Israeli gangsters.
You are straight talking. You apply more ethical principles than 90% of Western commentators.

Thank you James for writing this. I shared it on Facebook with commentary that included links to your 41 episode podcast, book and other work.

When the words "genius" and "leadership" were used in the same sentence in a breakfast meeting today I was prompted to share this document. In 2006 I summaried 15 points on #collaborations and #leadership by Warren Bennis who assessed six great groups. I added a 16th point - documents and workflow.
