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.

2/15
People who make up personas are actually making up characters, but they make these characters without any grounding. There are usually no researched archetypes.

You can do better, and have fun:

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
2/15 That's our promise to you all: FREEDOM not the illusion of freedom. And here it is why and how:
3/15 There is a monopoly on @MultiversX and we are offering a secondary option truly DEFI & DAO where people can choose to earn 50% of anything we do. If the monopoly is Coca-Cola, we are Pepsi - because we love #pepsi more anyway.

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?”
@kirsipiha
”Ihminen kokee merkityksellisyyttä suhteessa toisiin. Organisaatioiden seuraava vuosikymmen keskittyy ihmissuhteisiin. Ja hyvä niin.”
@kirsipiha

Juutuin näköjään esipuheeseen 😅 Tästä voi tulla pitkä reissu. Ja hyvä niin.

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.
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

It is public-interest education, journalism & science that truly make individuals in a #democratic society free, not the right to cast a vote or to elect a representative

Do number of hours you put in define your commitment to your job? Is it how you should look at your job? (A perspective)

As the debate rages on #worklife balance vis a vis commitment to work, which in some sections is also now being equated with the no of hours put in by…1/7
employees, I feel, we are missing the real point that is ‘meaningful work’. On this aspect the following three questions are critical:

1. Are you self #motivated to do what you do?

This has a direct linkage with your #purpose to work. The purpose could be linked to…2/7
personal/family/organisational/societal needs. Without getting into a moral debate on what type of purpose is more appropriate, it really does not matter as long as you have a purpose which motivates you to go to work.

2. Do you like what you do?

This relates to…3/7

#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.
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

A) The monotony/stress/frustration of having to do something that doesn’t fulfil us but takes care of our real financial needs is minimised to some extent. 3/4

"The 🇯🇴 soldiers welcomed us at the border to sent us toward the camps. I told him 'wait a minute, I want to have a last look at Syria.'"
Listening to @lysedoucet & @LoraElwen report on the 10th anniversary of @ZaatariCamp and it brought back memories bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/w3… /1
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

#Subconscious_Conversation between a seeker and Guru

Q. What is the #purpose of my life?*
A. The purpose of life in general is to #live_well and #help_others_live_well. Image
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,
