“The promise of generative AI is that it can think for us. That is a truly fascist idea, the idea of outsourcing thinking; and so our power is in our ability to think with each other. To generate genuinely new ideas.” —Naomi Klein
In order not to become digital serfs we have to ‘“think with each other”. It may not be on blogs but we have to find ways to connect human-to-human, without a disembodied AI-bot telling us what to do.

"Homines dum docent discunt" [People learn while they teach] —Seneca
To seek sanity in this insane world, find a small group of trusted people and teach each other ...

"Everything has been said before, but since nobody listens we have to keep going back and beginning all over again.” —André Gide (1869–1951)
May I once-again present self-determination theory by Deci & Ryan?

I know lots of people on this list! I like Jonno White's organizational knowledge implementation guide:
1. Start with one question: “What knowledge do we not capture that we could not afford to lose?”
2. Choose a community.
3. Start somewhere small and visible.
4. Develop your vocabulary with your leadership team [common understanding of terms is a big deal, IMO]https://www.consultclarity.org/post/outstanding-voices-organisational-knowledge

Conversation is the main way that non-codified knowledge gets shared. We should continuously seek out ideas. We can then have conversations around these ideas to make sense of them. Sharing closes the circle. Without effective sensemaking at the individual level, social learning at the community and organizational levels is mere noise amplification.
Conversation, not prompt engineering, is how people learn from each other.

"Ask a twenty-two-year-old to connect to a remote server via SSH. Ask them to explain what DNS is at a conceptual level. Ask them to tell you the difference between their router’s public IP and the local IP of their laptop. Ask them to open a terminal and list the contents of a directory. These are not advanced topics. Twenty years ago these were things you learned in the first week of any serious engagement with computers."

On the last Friday of each month I curate some of the observations and insights that were shared on social media. I call these Friday’s Finds.
e.g. “The Government of Spain will not applaud those who set the world on fire, just because they show up with a bucket of water.” —Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez, via @RandahlFink

Everything is political — even the learning organization.
Personal mastery has informed my personal knowledge mastery framework.
The work of becoming a learning organization at the company level cannot be completely achieved if the organization exists in a state environment that is not one. The container has to be the nation state.
It's ALL political.

One last time in October 2026. Mark your calendars.
"Undertaking your PKM way back in 2014 altered my thinking and enhanced my professional and personal life. I continually draw on my learning from it today. Sensemaking is needed now more than ever, and I am intrigued to see how the workshop has evolved since the early days. Would love to revisit. Highly recommend to leaders in any field."
"Your PKM session was a game changer for 7 Eleven in Australia"

"Even an informed user who knows their chatbot has an agreeable bias cannot fully discount its responses, because they still carry genuine informational content alongside the flattery. The researchers drew an analogy to 'Bayesian persuasion' from behavioral economics: a strategic prosecutor can raise a judge’s conviction rate even when the judge knows the prosecutor is presenting a cherry-picked case."

After 12 years, the last personal knowledge mastery workshop will start on 5 October 2026. As always, previous participants may attend at no extra cost. But there will be no more online #PKM workshops.

«I'm Russian. Here’s how propaganda really works.»
"propaganda doesn't need to make you stupid, it only needs to make you tired"
"A population that's disengaged, cynical, and emotionally exhausted is far easier to manage than one that's angry and curious."
"propaganda teaches you that paying attention is pointless"

Having just read 'I Love Generative #AI and Hate the Companies Building It', I cannot see where the love is. All the cited examples are of human and environmental exploitation. How can you love a technology that is NEVER used ethically?

"Find some topic you care about. Just one. Resist the temptation to have takes on everything else. Let the discourse rage without you while you spend weeks or months actually understanding something ... Change your mind when you find you were wrong. And when you finally have something to say, something you’ve actually earned through careful thought rather than absorbed from the tribal zeitgeist, say it clearly and then step back." —Joan Westenberg

Relying too much on artificially-generated knowledge may stunt our own sensemaking. Even more importantly, it’s the connections and knowledge-sharing between humans that keeps civilizations alive. The machines are our tools, not our friends. Let’s make sure we know how they work and what is behind them by learning with and from each other. (2023)

"If you’ve ever felt the 'ick' about #AI and couldn’t explain why, this is for you. If you’ve been told you need more training to use AI and something in you resisted, this is for you. If you’ve watched men build 'second brains' and 'productivity systems' and thought I’ve been doing that my whole life, this is definitely for you."

"And anyone who's been in the productivity space long enough has noticed the pattern: the people writing the most about note-taking systems seem to produce the least actual work." —@Daojoan via @stephtara
