Preach. My two summa cum laude degrees in art and business earned at 18 at a legendary (since debased) liberal arts college prepared me for the boardroom better than engineering would have done. And that would be even more true today when the bots can write our code but cannot…

“The humanities have a huge marketing problem. Studying English is just as much a practical degree as business. As a senior with a business major and an English minor, I’m tired of hearing that English is about ‘pleasure.’” #NYTLetters Read: nyti.ms/3YXlYHw



What an amazing lady. RIP.

I am cfrln.bsky.social, natch. Gradually moving in over there. Not a hard break. So far mostly dog pix and hot takes.


Couldn’t agree more.

Hire people that think like owners. Ex-founders or people who want to be founders. They take initiative, act with a sense of responsibility, and are deeply invested in the success of the organization.

Visionaries. Going to Berlin just to meet @trentmc0 in 2015 to understand blockchain for art was one of the smarter things I did in the 2010s. Hi Trent!

The team at Ocean Protocol has been ahead of the curve 5-10 Years each time. Overview of @trentmc0 and @BrucePon achievements that may have gone unnoticed. 2014 - Invented NFTs on Bitcoin Network 2016 - Paired blockchain with #AI, data and IP (Ocean Protocol) 2020 - Launched…

As we head into the next few days in the US, I am reminded, ‘l’enfer, c’est les autres!’ As much as I feel that way sometimes, let us choose to love other humans, and not demonize them.


The great Dee Hock, founder of VISA, passed a couple of years ago. His tweets persist, thankfully. In the next week they are worth rereading. x.com/deewhock?s=11


Disappointing but unsurprising. This is my cousin Christina Powell Reymer in New Zealand’s post on the topic. A whole group went to Rome last year to place womens’ shoes on the way to the Vatican during the synod and were removed. …atholicchurchreformblog.wordpress.com/2023/09/12/hel…

A Landmark Show Puts Helen Frankenthaler’s Masterpieces in Dialogue With Pollock and Rothko Frankenthaler is underappreciated and undervalued. Order of magnitude less. Mixed feelings about this show using famous men of her time to confer legitimacy. news.artnet.com/art-world/hele…


Deirdre is an intellectual hero for me. Not always in agreement, but she pushes past the generally accepted dimensions of political, social, and economic arguments. We — as a global human society — need more thinkers like her.

I just went to New Delhi to a meeting of the Mont Pelerin Society. The enthusiasts for childish policies, though, portray the Mont Pelerin Society as a deep, dark conspiracy of the 'neo-liberal' posh—conservative and powerful. I’m the oncoming President of the Society, for a…

Legacy + donor admissions are unconscionable. If anything, when considering applicants from elite schools, I have been suspicious of merit, without probing. California law will ban legacy, donor admissions at colleges, universities latimes.com/california/sto…


Harris will visit border amid political fight over immigration This is what will make me hold my nose voting for Harris. ‘Border security’ is an inhumane concept, as are borders. States are a scourge that have existed for <5% of human history. washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/…
