Got more of this series. A lot more. 🙂

But let’s just do a few here.

Are we cannibals?

As our world has gotten more crowded and more connected, it’s easier than ever to step on someone’s toes. Culture gives us the chance to create the conditions for people to embrace a longer-term view. And sleep better too.

Everyone is downstream from someone else.

PS: We’re all in this shit together. Some of us just wear better clothes.


Throwing shade or throwing light?

Turning on lights helps everyone.


Customer traction is the hard part

The hard part involves customer traction. Can you find enough customers who will pay you a fair price and also choose to spread the word? Because if customers bring you customers, and those customers all generate more income than expenses, you have a useful project.

Every minute the founder spends not working on this question might be misallocated.

PS: Am I allowed at least eight hours sleep?


Small doses

The brute force technique makes engineers happy. But giving humans a chance to tell themselves a positive story makes people happy.

PS: That’s why this blog works.


Sufficient resolution

Right here, right now, we’re discovering a wide range of content that has a resolution that is crossing the line to sufficient. That’s going to lock in new forms of interaction and culture for a long time to come.


Is it a skill?

Proximity is not the same as skill.

PS: Just because you can do it doesn’t mean you should do it.

*****

And that’s it for now!

Take care and be seeing you!

PS: Here’s something for all the book lovers! 🙂

With thanks to Paul Shapiro!

Meet Debbi

Welcome to my writers' corner of the Internet. I'm a novelist, who also writes short stories and screenplays. I hope to share the benefit of my experiences as an indie author with dystonia since 2009. I also post a lot of book reviews, because I love to read and learn new things. I hope to share that knowledge with you.
