🎩 Ah, the saga of Gödel: the #genius mathematician who proved the #incompleteness of his own dining habits, 🤦♂️ and yet managed to make his passing a #logic puzzle unsolvable by any mere physician. 🍽️ 'Personality disturbance' is just scientist-speak for 'too brilliant to remember to eat.'

Brilliance has always coexisted quite comfortably with trash in any genre, and the same is already true of interactive media. . . . A good interactive title chooses the best information from all the media at its disposal and combines them into something indefinable yet powerful. . . . Any form of communication is meaningless unless we have something to say.

#Parkrun #Killerton A while ago, runners emerging from the rather pleasant tree tunnel into Saturday morning #sunshine
I was pleased with this one at the time, and still am.
I've photographed a lot of parkruns and think it helps, but nowadays I'm harder to get out of bed early.
The Australian ones start at 0700 which makes good sense. From a distance.

"Everybody has the capacity for anything!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
Want some inspiration today? Take a quick look at this PDF here - "Everybody has the capacity for anything!" Need more? Try this one: "Everybody in every industry has the capacity for tomorrow!"

and
https://pdf.jimcarroll.com/Everybody-in-every-industry-has-a-capacity-for-tomorrow.pdf
What's up?
I've been busy writing my series about 30 megatrends, and made it to #25 yesterday.
However, there's a brief pause before I set off to finish it with the final 5 items next week, sometime. We are off to a wedding for some wonderful friends of ours, and also have some wonderfully personal events unfolding in our lives. I want to make sure I'm giving full attention to these things that matter, while also being respectful to the depth of trends I'm covering in my Megatrends series. I plan on getting back to it next Tuesday.
That said, I'll be writing some 'shorter' posts tomorrow and Monday.
Today's post? Does everybody have the capacity for anything? That phrase came from my folder of inspirational thoughts - I've got a few thousand of them in my email account. I'm constantly watching and learning from the world around me, and as soon as I see something that inspires me, wham! It goes into the folder.I was thinking about this phrase in the context of what is happening with AI in many workplaces today - the trend seems to be clear. Countless organizations are making the decision-or perhaps the word is mandate-that AI should be used by everyone in everything they do. It was notably initiated by Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke back in March. In a memo that was first leaked and later shared publicly. Lütke's memo established a clear "AI-first" ethos at the e-commerce giant, with the thinking being that "using AI effectively is now a fundamental expectation of everyone at Shopify."
Many other companies have also been jumping on board. While we can endlessly debate the pros and cons of such a move, I won't do that here. I will note that as part of my journey of learning, research, and trends observation, I've been busy trying to assess the trend by integrating AI into almost everything I do. Including today, this particular post.
I fed the original idea - 'everybody has the capacity for anything' into Google Gemini, along with every single blog post I've written since 2002. I asked it to come up with an overview of many of the inspirational ideas I've shared over the last 23 years. I then took the results and fed them into Gamma - my current AI slide generation tool of choice.
The result was kind of magical.

A quotation from Mignon McLaughlin
No matter how brilliantly an idea is stated, we will not really be moved unless we have half-thought of it ourselves.
Mignon McLaughlin (1913-1983) American journalist and author
The Neurotic’s Notebook, ch. 7 (1963)Sourcing, notes: wist.info/mclaughlin-mignon/77…

Instead of judging someone, for their #pride, #enlighten someone for their #mind.
That is how you #unveil proactive #brilliance in people you'd otherwise feel compelled to overlook.
All things in motion interacting with anything that's still, may always come together through the application of will. -

When I Accidentally #Outed #NikkiGiovanni
As a #fan of Giovanni, I admired her #brilliance and #activism. But a #misstep caused #backlash—labeling her an “#out #lesbian.” This incident highlights the need to respect #privacy and avoid #assumptions.
— Giovanni never publicly #identified as #LGBTQ+, though her work inspired #queer #communities.

3grams - "Radical Honesty" (live)
Yesterday I recorded a concert of this beautiful trio "3grams".
With their unique combination of two voices and one alto-saxophone, they're combining both musical brilliance and profound lyrics including a great sense of humour (well, maybe not in this song).
Until the editing is finished here's one of their songs:>>> https://youtu.be/qo1s1JbHu6w

I am quoting a quote of a quote of a quote, because I miss reading Dave Barry. (I also miss reading about his Emergency Backup Dog Ernest.)

Barry also said:

#Quotes #Brilliance #People #Stars
#MisterRogers #Fred RogersYes, I thought of Fred Rogers the second I read this quote.
A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
There are stars whose radiance is visible on Earth though they have long been extinct. There are people whose brilliance continues to light the world though they are no longer among the living. These lights are particularly bright when the night is dark. They light the way for humankind. -Hannah Senesh, poet, playwright, and paratrooper (17 Jul 1921-1944) -
Wants to get rid of it so files a motion that brings it to the top of the news cycle again.
