Yes to this.
We hear so often that politicians are not well versed enough in dealing with AI to regulate it properly. What we almost never hear is the question of whether the CEOs and their engineers are well versed enough in democracy to intervene in it as they do ↘️ spiegel.de/netzwelt/web/die-…

@berlinairport how can it take nearly 2 hours in this little airport for luggage to come?? This seems to be a pattern. Why? Unacceptable (again).

Absolutely agree @jnovogratz. This is an important read 🇺🇸 with insights toward depolarizing our country. 👇🏻 – at Vipperow, Deutschland
Important piece by @nytdavidbrooks on how elites build systems that serve themselves, even if unconsciously. Reimagining systems requires starting by seeing ourselves as part of one another; that requires a moral foundation. This is an important challenge. nytimes.com/2023/08/02/opini…

Your thoughts?
Today we're wondering how present shifts in #democracy will shape the future of #politicalrepresentation. Do you think representative democracy as we know it will still exist in 20 years, or will shifts toward authoritarianism or direct democracy take hold?

"In humans, variability is a feature, not a bug." (I'm super hard on myself for not being peak every day...this a bit of relief.) Thanks @AdamMGrant
Public service announcement for managers and coaches: you can't judge effort by results. Inconsistent performance doesn't mean people aren't trying their best. It often means they're doing their best in the face of turbulence. In humans, variability is a feature, not a bug.
