“But as the firm discovered, hiring people with a purpose greater than earning bundles of money can have a downside.”
Unusual insights into the secretive inner workings of #McKinsey, but sometimes relying on circumstantial evidence and heresay.

“The world was very different in 1500 yet it operated the same way it does now.” An interesting thought model on how nations’ futures are subject to the fate of inevitable cycles. It provides a wonderful economic perspective to the rise and fall of great powers. #raydalio

“General … our troops are very much in the condition of a lump of sugar thoroughly soaked in water.” A great historical fiction about the Battle of Shiloh by Shelby Foote.

I just finished John Cleese’s “Creativity.” Of all the books I’ve read, this is one of them. It makes Ben Hur look like a screen play.
It feels like I just started it, but that’s because I did. It’s really short.
And it’s really funny. And it may be good. But I’ll sleep on it.

Chaos after the Battle of Waterloo, but Bernard Cornwell’s Sharpe saves the day. Historical fiction for the non-romantic crowd.

“NotPetya reminds us, distance is no defense. Every barbarian is already at the gate.”

I had the honour of talking to John Levay today. He was the founder of the first CANHEIT in 2003 and in the pic he is proudly displaying his souvenir glass from the event! @CUCCIONEWS

“It was safe to surmise the little-known realities of the multiverse probably weren’t yet incorporated within the care plans of the National Health Service.” A great philosophical read disguised as fiction.

“All war is absurd. For thousands of years, human beings have chosen to settle their differences by obliterating one another.” Malcolm Gladwell’s The Bomber Mafia is, in part, a lesson in how philosophical obsession erodes common sense application of technology.

This Is How They Tell Me the World Ends - a wonderful history of our international cyber-mess. To quote the author Nicole Penroth, “… the longer we keep people in the dark, the more we relinquish control of the problem to those with the least incentive to actually solve it.”
