In an essay I wrote, "only unaware practitioners use made-up #personas in their design work".
I think I know why this is done.

There is a difference between #characters and #archetypes. You can make up characters, as long as each character is based on a researched archetype.

People who make up personas are actually making up characters, but they make these characters without any grounding. There are usually no researched archetypes.

1/9 "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius is a timeless classic that offers valuable insights into Stoic philosophy and how to live a fulfilling life. Its' a collection of personal reflections and philosophical musings on topics such as wisdom, morality, & Stoic philosophy. $QUACK
2/9 Accept what you cannot change: Marcus emphasizes the importance of accepting the things that are beyond our control and focusing instead on what we can control, which is our own thoughts and actions. #Stoicism $QUACK
3/9 Embrace impermanence: Life is transient, and everything is subject to change. Marcus encourages us to embrace this impermanence and to focus on living in the moment. #Mindfulness $QUACK
1/15 We are the underdogs. And that's your opportunity on #egld.
An underdog strategy involves a small and, usually, young firm taking on a much larger competitor into a challenge with much bigger opponents in order to break their monopoly. 100% DEFI and DAO on @MultiversX

Kirja merkityksestä, ei sen vähempää. Merkityksestä ihmisen, työntekijän ja yrityksen näkökulmasta.
Koska millään ei ole merkitystä, paitsi jos on. Ja se on päätettävä ihan itse.

”En kuulu niihin jotka lässyttävät, että kuolinvuoteella ihminen katuu, että tuli oltua liikaa töissä. Työllä voi olla ihmisen elämälle iso merkitys, turha vähätellä toisen kokemusta. Miksi meidän on vaikea hyväksyä, jos itsellemme merkitys löytyy jostain muualta?”

Discussions about #FreeSpeech are misguided in the information age.
Even before our voices are drowned out by the noise on social media, or overwritten by information combatants, we lose our agency and decision autonomy to manipulative complex systems we don’t fully understand.
Even before our voices are drowned out by the noise on social media, or overwritten by information combatants, we lose our agency and decision autonomy to manipulative complex systems we don’t fully understand.
The whole point of the #enlightenment, the scientific revolution, our educational and #epistemic institutions was to empower individuals to find a way out of their self-imposed #immaturity, to take #agency over their lives and make informed decisions.
We need #epistemic clarity about reality, for without it, our agency will be blunted & our freedom a charade

employees, I feel, we are missing the real point that is ‘meaningful work’. On this aspect the following three questions are critical:

#Ikigai by Hector Garcia Puigcerveri has been one of the most talked about books of the 21st Century century.
5 timeless lessons to learn from the book. A thread.
5 timeless lessons to learn from the book. A thread.
1. Find a #purpose in life.
“essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love, and something to hope for.”
“Be led by your curiosity, and keep busy by doing things that fill you with meaning and happiness.”

2. Be with your loved ones.
“Talking each day with people you love, that’s the secret to a long life”
“We all get together here and talk - it’s very important. I always know I’ll see them all here tomorrow, and that’s one of my favorite things in life”

1/🧵 Hacked on Twitter - what did I learn⁉️
I & other physicians’ @verified @Twitter accts were hacked last week…
This “micro-dose” of being silenced reminds me to do all I can to amplify the voice of others.
And it made me want to share a few thoughts about this platform…

2/ How did it make me feel?
📍Vulnerable
📍Silenced
📍At the mercy of others
📍Out of control
📍Small
Of course, it’s just social media
But how we handle ourselves here prepares us to fight #Testimonial #Injustice
No one wins if we stifle the voice & truth of another person.

3/ Detachment
I’ve been working on detachment from the lure of worldly things.
When the hackers stole control of my account, my 1st thought was that this was a perfect opportunity for me to practice detachment.
If I’m truly detached, my pulse should remain a calm 46 bpm 😎

Doing well in our career is very important but feeling well and being happy with what we do is equally important. We should not impulsively give up our current career, which we may not necessarily enjoy but may pay us well … because we have real needs in the real world. 1/4
At the same time, pursuing what we love, what makes us happy, even if it’s small and done on the side, ensures two things 👇🏽 2/4

Memories of spending close to a decade working with @SavetheChildren for children and families affected by conflict in #Syria, #Iraq, #Somalia, #Myanmar, #Palestine, and many other places. And losing #cynicism, finding #purpose, and changing my perspective on conflict and war. /2
In 2011, I was sitting in an air conditioned office at @WorldBank in Washington DC. I thought I had landed my dream job. But instead I had tasted #bureaucracy, #hierarchy and the #cynicism of organizational politics. If you had met the 2011 version of myself, you would agree. /3

9 samurai tips to feel happy from now and for the rest of your life:
🧵💯
🧵💯
1) be yourself,
the cost of trying to be someone else is very much,
discover your #strong_points and work on them, they are your military equipment, take care of them.

2) keep #learning and #unlearning!
Always try to catch new experiences and ideas. Sometimes to learn new things you should unlearn the old things, don't be biased, keep yourself curious and excited about life.

Q. No! What is the purpose of my life?
A. The purpose of your life or mine is constantly #evolving even as we pass from one moment to another.

No life comes with a readymade script, as we have to constantly write, erase, rewrite what is good for us and for others. That's one's ever evolving life's purpose!

Let's talk roadmaps. And how they are mostly useless in their current form. And how every project has them and doesn't use them right!
Why? Because I'm tired of finding every project cargoculting roadmaps and missing the point of the exercise.
Maybe this thread will help.

2/So what's a roadmap? Well, in the most basic level, it's meant to be a map of a road, but usually people understand it as also containing directions from point A to point B.
3/The problem is immediate when you even look at this basic definition of roadmap:
NFT Project roadmaps aren't stating point B.
They're like a map with a bunch of towns circled, and no apparent destination.

The total amount of suffering per year in the natural world is beyond all decent contemplation. During the minute that it takes me to compose this sentence, thousands of animals are being eaten alive, many others are running for their lives, whimpering with fear,
others are slowly being devoured from within by rasping parasites, thousands of all kinds are dying of starvation, thirst, and disease. It must be so. If there ever is a time of plenty,
this very fact will automatically lead to an increase in the population until the natural state of starvation and misery is restored. In a universe of electrons and selfish genes, blind physical forces and genetic replication, some people are going to get hurt,
