Every alternate day, we will bring to you actionable tips, ideas & advice (mostly from Twitter) to expand your thinking, knowledge & empower you to be the best version of yourself. The links (people, tools & processes) are also meant to add value :)
The theme for today is : Weirdly Wonderful
Josh Wolfe (someone who we respect here at StrangerSapiens) talks about the future he wants his children to live in. A wonderful detour into "Optimistic Futurism".
1/ I wish for a BETTER world for my kids. A world where they can *feel* offended but have no right to be protected from feeling offended or feeling uncomfortable if they are insulted for any reason or someone says or does something wrong, ignorant, misinformed, rude or uncivil2/ A world where -they can make mistakes and commit errors and be given a chance to correct them and not cancelled -they can be surrounded + welcoming of diverse people with diverse life experiences + diverse POVs who may also make mistakes + commit errors and BE corrected3/A world where -they must COMPETE intellectually, physically, psychologically when there are zero-sum outcomes + lose if they deserve to lose -they must learn to COOPERATE with people different than themselves with different POVs who they might have to play non zero-sum games w4/ A world where -their INDIVIDUALITY is celebrated and they celebrate others INDIVIDUALITY are they are not simplistically lumped into singular generalized tribal categories by religious belief, musical preference, geographies, school, city, nationality, height, skin or hairDavid Perrel on Paul Graham's idea of whispering cities taken forward : Instagram whispers you to be glamorous, Twitter whispers you to be witty. (David is a renowned coach for “Writing Online”. You can explore him here).
A wonderful combination of the Trolley Problem and Prisoner's Dilemma. It's a question than is morally, mentally and socially challenging all at once. Read about what other people have to say about it here.
We will get back with more & there’s a lot where this came from ;) Hope you are having fun being a bit more "Strange" with us everyday. Cheers! 💫
