Isn’t there a general propensity for better opportunities by going with capitalism? Could one possibly suggest it being the main reasons why many journalists and politicians sway that way? Would labelling it as corruption be too strong? Or just greed?

You might wanna connect with @draliceevans.bsky.social who has thought and written about that.

Would be good if you could cover why U think AGI is coming in a future episode. You did not show why in this1 or how you got to that view other than buying the hype from those who profit from that belief. Your guest used “reasoning technology”, but reasoning is exactly one of things AI hasn’t shown.

(Had to rewrite this) Value is something to someone. - Jerry Weinberg
If that team doesn't know that someone AND what this something means to them, how can they explain value to your satisfaction? What I am trying to show is "why are you doing x" is primarily a social question.

Sure, but my point was that we always adapt to our context, never completely blindly copy.

If they didn't choose voluntarily their management method, you cannot expect them to explain what they are doing from a methodological perspective. Most of what they do will be driven by social regimes and it's never safe talking politics.

Even when we start out copying, we never copy completely. Because we actually never really capture what we or others do 100% (so we are incapable of perfectly copying) and also, because we start chasing it immediately based on feedback from the context.

Did you meet any such team that picked to do Scrum completely voluntary?

I have yet to meet anyone who has copied a method by the book. 🤷🏻♂️

IME universally meant advice is the norm. We think what works for us must also work for others. Equally, as recipients, we know this is not true and know how to contextualise it. It’s only when advice is elevated to models or theories when that critique is made difficult.

Where people claim their models (or patterns) are universal, they simply tell you that they have not yet crossed the boundaries of their context.

That’s kinda my point. If we go with Popper, it’s really about replicable explicability, which constraint regimes allow. I would dare anyone to try to prove that they can invalidate love. ;-)

Just as well you added that!!

There’s also @draliceevans.bsky.social who shows the very real effects of romantic love in cultural evolution. But that’s more evidence of love’s existence than an explanation.

I reckon I could construct a good argument for love as a constraint regime following Juarrero’s latest book. She does a great job explaining identity. So, that would be a scientific explanation for love.

Knowledge is never knowing the answer. It’s knowing the territory.

Often in IT, ascribing to ignorance, not malice, proves true.

Drucker described it already in the 60s, made necessary because in knowledge work, a manager has to (unavoidably) trust his reports.

I never said it is about the views, it is about the ability to have empathy for people with views very different from your own. Don’t you think it is needed, if your work is to be more than just cynically throw pebbles from the sideline? Being able to see things from their context?

“Bureaucracies are inefficient” is a lie told by people who don’t like what a certain bureaucracy has been tuned to do.

Replacing what through the labour of people is made to work (ie social institutions) with a dumb front end that requires no longer a working back stage.

What you are saying is that you cannot connect with people who do not think like you. That is what I find shocking.
comment in response to
post
I guess it's something you choose to do or not do. I believe having such friends helps me not to demonise the "other side". Crazy, to think there is value in being able to have empathy for an opponent.

I am puzzled that you've never befriended someone, maybe in a context where politics wasn't prominent (for example though music) in you interaction that, later, turned out to be right wing and, yet, you wanted to keep that connection.

Reading does not have the same cognitive quality than conversing / dialogue. Every good scientists actively seeks people who disagree (or should, if they have any grasp of philosophy of science). That you don’t do this is, frankly, shocking, but does explain some of what recently irritated me.

Such an organization in today’s digital world would have enormous power over the citizenry and everything else. In addition, many in AI are worried that we are literally running out of data and this would be a motherlode for some company in the arena who might want/need an advantage.

There are people whose validation I sought in the past and now I laugh at that version of myself.

Hey, I am not sure how able I am to look critically at the people I have surrounded myself with and say “how might they hold me back from being a better person”?
