This sums up the problem with this era of AI. It's infantilizing adults saying essentially "is complexity hard for you? why don't you let something else tell you what to do when"

My dude, life is project management and collaboration.

I don't fear being awkward in a given situation.
I fear feeling trapped in a situation I could extricate myself from if only I were honest and trusted myself to handle decently.

"I once heard a combat vet say: "We offer poor folks socialism to become soliders to go abroad and defend Capitalism. They give us free housing, lodging and food to diminish others access to the same thing." That always stuck with me."

Politicians are not bystanders to the affordability crisis. We can lower the cost of living and make life easier for New Yorkers in real and meaningful ways.

A mother of 8 was deported within 24 hours of reporting sexual harassment by an ICE contracto

She was following the rules & going through the process to get her green card

Someone working on behalf of ICE abused her.

She spoke out and was kicked out of the country.

It’s retaliation & it’s wrong

This week’s tools to better leadership #pioneer #disinvoltura #lagom
When regularly called to create new and innovate existing, it helps to be relaxed and clear that the balance of novelty and familiarity can be a dance of delight.

Context - the leader’s perspective on the setting for the leadership
Style - How the leader approaches their role or relationships with those they collaborate with
Vibe - The tone set - as an outcome - for the leadership themselves and their team
Pioneer - finding, stretching, promoting
Disinvoltura - relaxed precision
Lagom - more than sufficient, less than too much, just right

What he said was always the same, expressed in the same words. The longer one listened to him, the more obvious it became that his inability to speak was closely connected with an inability to think, namely, to think from the standpoint of somebody else.

Intelligence exists and applies within the resource framework it finds its self and exerts efforts on where it seems most worthy. For many that's the people closest to them and a sense of belonging.

Kara @karaml.bsky.social · 6d

True revolution will come when we as a country stop mistaking the amount of money (we believe) someone has access to as a sign of intelligence.

There are clearly many miserable wealthy people.

Unlock the full potential of humans by treating all humans as the innovators/creators they are.

ever been on a flight with turbulence?
with rare exception the only way out is through
that's the whole experience of life y'all
you can be transported through space and time
in what feels like a blink
and when its rough, comfort yourself
and those near to you
focus on something in front of you

Kara @karaml.bsky.social · 6d

Let me get this right: you're so afraid of a unified world, because you ultimately feel that you'll insist on being an outsider / that you will be rejected. So you create / follow a mythology of the antichrist being a unifier to spare yourself from imagined possible rejection.
Get therapy.

It wasn't fake. It was edited. But Reagan really did spend a five-minute speech – an April 25, 1987, national radio address that the Reagan Library has published on YouTube – to rail against tariffs. It was a full-throated expression of support for free and fair trade.

New technology doesn't change us.
Rather it is our innovation that invites us to gain clarity on what truly it is to be human.
A piano didn't eliminate singing.
A pen didn't eliminate story telling.

"AI, though unconscious, became indispensable scaffolding—...of calculation/memory/pattern-recognition... Instead, they feared becoming like it: efficient but hollow. The cultural mantra of 2040 was simple yet radical: “The machines will never wake up. But will we?”"

🍄 When the Machines Clock In, Who Are We?

The real challenge isn’t AI—it’s reprogramming our species for a life beyond labor.
