@jmspool This was interesting. Overwhelmed and whelmed were once synonyms. I thought otherwise you had found an English word for hygge. :)

@jmspool Kind of mindblowing that people weren’t underwhelmed until the 1950s. 😏

Do you, like me, hate marketing notifications in your iPhone apps?
Did you know that these apps are likely in violation of Apple’s Review Guidelines for the App Store?
« 4.5.4 Push Notifications must not be required for the app to function, and should not be used for advertising, promotions, or direct marketing purposes or to send sensitive personal or confidential information. Abuse of these services may result in revocation of your privileges. »
I suggest you write reviews (on the app page in the App Store) for apps that send marketing and promotional messages in their notifications, pointing out this violation. Unfortunately Apple does not provide a coherent way for users to report apps.
Accepting others for who they are is not about empowering them, it's about empowering you.
If you can provide a safe space for people you previously met with prejudice, that's you empowered.
Like any power, it requires regular training.
The rewards are immense.
I am far from perfect in this area, but I practice regularly through coaching. Attending a coaching program (in my case an ICF-accredited education) is one of my best career decisions, impacting all aspects of life.

@jmspool I brought up the problems with this fallacy in a talk last year and it was astonishing to me how many came up to me after to defend it.
There are so many of these truthisms being repeated... adding to the complexity of teaching, when others in teaching roles believe them.
I'm halfway through Brainstorm: Detective Stories from the World of Neurology by Suzanne O'Sullivan and it is an amazing read. My intent is to do a write-up when I'm through it later this week.
The more convenience we have, the less we need to plan and know.
The less we plan, and the less we know, the more convenience becomes a gateway to exploitation.
As more exploitation happens, the more wicked our problems.
Wicked problems are inconvenient.
But not if you can ignore them.
Because it's convenient.

Utnämner man någon till expert måste allmänheten kunna lita på det. Bra genomgång av hur Thomas Erikson (författaren till Omgiven av idioter med efterföljare som spred idén om människor som färger) lyckades sälja sina ogrundade påståenden som vetenskap.
”Dan Katz, leg. psykolog och leg. psykoterapeut, förklarar varför Thomas Eriksons framgångar med boken ’Omgiven av idioter’ är en av de största pseudovetenskapliga skandalerna i Sverige de senaste åren.”

På samma tema vill jag verkligen rekommendera lyssning på Emma Frans sommarprat från i lördags.

@katherinemzhou I struggle with this as well and I can truly recommend the book The Future of Capitalism by Paul Collier. I haven't taken a stand on everything he brings up, but it is thought-provoking and important.
@katherinemzhou In the end I think we are still in the Discovery phase of digital ethics and a systemic change is needed where whole cultures redefine how value is defined within the realm of capitalism.
@katherinemzhou This article on reshaping capitalism is also a good starting point for bringing up the questions we need to be asking, and start shaping strategies around: forbes.com/sites/steveden…
Been meaning to blog about this but my priorities have been off.
Fascinating literature review looking at the importance of reflective reasoning in healthcare to reduce diagnostic errors and increase diagnostic performance.
Why we also need more triggers for reflective reasoning in design, to reduce harmful impact.

Lyssna på @DrEmmaFrans sommarprat. Briljant som alltid.
Även väldigt tacksamt med en känga till den klassiska sommarprat-strukturen.

@cwodtke @imaginari_es @Folletto I tend to recommend using MarsEdit or even @ulyssesapp and publish from them to Wordpress, thus bypassing the online interface altogether. Those are Mac apps though, I don’t know about Windows...
