Compellingly written, Rishad! I find that an action-shift, ie just doing something different, consistently for some time, is often what brings about a mind-shift. (That's because minds are generally tough to shift unless they experience differently!). For example, by putting an octogenarian customer to be on your Advisory Board. Or your Management team spending a day with a young hacker or a gaming company. Or saying, "all presentations from now on MUST be made only by ChatGPT or some such AI".
Simply delightful to hear voices that retrieve our human consciousness to a practical degree of accountability for being aware of the self-defeating behaviors masked as coping mechanisms in the face of so much complexity. Chill, Be Silly once a Day, and quiet your mind with breathing. Then open your eyes and accept what you see with the courage to be in the moment without knowing what's next. The article is so inspiring...
Thank you for all your wonderful articles, podcasts & presentations in 2023. Today's date is uniquely 123123 which hopefully is a good omen for a fresh start! Let's hope in this new year, leaders and politicians worldwide follow Adam Grant's advice "a mark of wisdom is refusing to let the fear of admitting you were wrong stop you from getting it right." And getting it right must be based on universal principles, e.g., truth, justice, equality, etc. Best wishes for a safer, more peaceful and happier 2024 🙏🕊️
Rishad, thank you for taking the time to write this. We lack a rare combination of critical thinking, curiosity, and courage in society. We need more leaders who think differently, not just look different. True change and inclusion will come when we harness the power of diversified thought to solve problems ✨💫🙏🏽
This is a great post but you are asking a lot. For example: should I be open-minded to the idea that democracies are obsolete? You suggest that "cult replacing culture" is a concern but you also say that the future comes from the slime - so, which is it? Social media is the democratization of communication and the slime is definitely winning- should I be open-minded to the idea that the slime is right?
