Today I'm starting on Eyes Wide Open by @noreenahertz and I've pre-ordered her book The Lonely Century.


"If we do not want to be victims of a future that others dictate to us, we need to get better at making choices with our eyes wide open, our brains switched on."

"Indeed, so aware is the US Army of the medium's powers of evasion that it intentionally deploys PowerPoint when briefing the media, a tactic known as 'hypnotising chickens!"

@UXCopenhagen Haha, these past weeks were crazy so I thought I had just missed it 😁
If you say google-de-meet it sounds satisfyingly similar to gobbledygook which is one my favourite words.
Anyway, that is my Friday musing. That is all.
My #UXCopenhagen talk has been published by @snetramelleh!
An emotional talk on abuse and the systems that support that abuse. As designers we have the power to abuse, but how aware are we of when this happens?

@tvrdek @peeplaja @mayli Thank you for this feedback Jerry! :)
Innan sommaren hoppade jag på att köra min etik-kurs på Nackademin redan i augusti. Då trodde jag först jag skulle undervisa en dag i veckan på plats, och köra halvtid online. Men dagen innan jag gick på semester fick jag beskedet att den skulle köras helt online. 😬
Att på kort tid tänka om en kurs som bygger mycket på förtroende, trygghet och självreflektion, och få den att funka 100% online, kändes onekligen oerhört utmanande.
I onsdags presenterade studenterna sina grupparbeten och idag har kursutvärderingarna börjat trilla in. Jag är hyfsat utmattad men jag tror tårarna skulle kommit ändå. Jösses att det kunde bli så bra ändå.
Vilka fantastiska elever att få prova detta med och vilken enorm öppenhet och oerhört mod de visat. Det här är nog bland det mest belönande jag gör i mitt arbetsliv.
Nästa höst ska ni stå redo att anlita och anställa dessa UX-Designers. De kommer hjälpa era verksamheter må bra och hålla över tid.
Men försök inte förstå bilden. Den är mellan mig och eleverna. 🥰
Extra supertack till Charlotte Hall och Sara Lidbaum som gästade oss.
Overpromised and took on more than is healthy at the start of this autumn. But I made it through 4 weeks of teaching and managing two client projects. Just wrapped up a final workshop.
Tomorrow is grading papers and @UXPodcast work and then I will sleep like a baby this weekend.
Note to future self: don't do this again.

@marcusosterberg Kan ju inte vara sämre så jag fixade en så'n till mig nu också... 😂
'Ek' is a very common Swedish surname. I always wonder how rules like this come about. Someone (you know the type) takes a _guess_?
In the end, stuff like this should be caught in testing. I've worked with a test lead who was amazing at finding these false assumptions. twitter.com/shirleyywu/status/1300…

@ajplai Have you seen this one? ethics.fast.ai
@ajplai Really one should read @math_rachel's whole thread announcing it:

@ajplai It's actually in the works :) I'll post most of this on a dedicated website.

@steveportigal @telegram It's akin to gaslighting when it's making me feel a reasoned, self-caring choice is a bad choice.
