'We [the people] can take the web back, it is not too late'

'This is for everyone. In the age of AI this is more true than ever'

Tim Berners-Lee, inventor of the world wide web

'Verloren zielen die verdienen het meest, zoeken naar de energie die geneest, heb het nooit gehad maar kan het zien in mijn geest - het volgen van je hart duurt lang'

Ownership - Fresku, Navarone Cole

Life will always remain 'unfair', surround yourself with those who love you for who you are.

Focusing on your personal growth should be supported, never forced.

🧿✌️

Flow like water 🧿✌️

Choose kindness

Allow kindness

Humanity thrives in togetherness

✌️🧿

Blurred lines,

between wants and needs.

Words will never suffice,
show up where you can with deeds.

Do it 'right',
do it 'wrong'.

Climb the mountain,
manage the descent.

Keep showing up for the start every day,

and you will finish what is meant to be.

No rich parents

Life flourishes, where hope survives

Existing is just a base, living takes courage

Wishing all strength to live beyond existence in this world

Live life where and when you can

🧿✌️

Be your perfect imperfect self,

living through the ups, and the downs.

We need all of it - we need the energy to flow in waves.

Real talk,

whatever you need to do, hard executive or soft nothing;

kill it with kindness.

'And I've been living fast life but I see it in slo mo'

April, what a month 🚀🧿🙇‍♂️

Let's carry all our pains and hopes together

Pulling through all storms and bad weather

Subculturally connecting using our positive energy

Achieving a hope filled future for human kind in all its density

🧿✌️

🤣 dus, anders bestaat 😘🧿

8 billion hearts

'It's free to be nice, it's nice to be free'

Always challenge those heuristics where needed 🫶🧿✌️

Trust in YOUR kindness

Trust in your good intentions

Trust in your powers, whatever these may be

Trust it will get us all where we need to be

✌️

8 billion people

2 billion children (25%)

All wildly differing dreams, stories and struggles

Whatever opinions 75% of us have, they're just opinions formed by imperfect conditions

Respected and heard as long as there is respect for the future of all children 🙇‍♂️

Having had Turkish conversations with Google's Gemini, Dutch conversations with ChatGPT...

... I realised Mistral's Le Chat might appreciate a French thank you after an English conversation 😇

Anders bestaat, maar de ander bestaat niet

Dreams enrich our lives in many ways

Let hope shine

Let fear dissipate

Keep enjoying the daily build where you can, keep dreaming even if it all looks meaningless

Wishing all an imperfect yet hopefully beautiful life

Every day is a new day ✌️

Beautiful souls unite

'Kimse bizim yaptığımızı yapmıyor'

✌️

Leonard Burger on LinkedIn: A job to do 2 years ago... I wrote this article on venture capital funding Feels relevant to re-share post some conversations in past weeks As well as seeing HANX's…

'It is unlikely you or I have a true holistic understanding of someone else’s life. As many of you will know, our brains, especially as we grow older, develop shortcuts and hence our perspectives become increasingly influenced by unconscious bias, no matter how hard we fight it.'
