Take notes. The human brain is not designed to remember anything. It’s designed to forget & clear itself up. Write down whatever you learn. I personally use RoamResearch. I can’t tell you how much this habit has helped me.

Please, show them some grace. We heard & listened to all of you, good & bad, & we felt it all genuinely. I hate the way this ended, but I'm so very proud of everything we were able to accomplish together. Now I have other places to help make accessible 💪🏽

School cannot always be fun. So education should invest its “necessarily probably boring hours” judiciously. One of the best ways to invest in is, arguably, to drill student repeatedly in the "meta-skill" of learning how to learn. metamoderna.org/protopian-educ…

saw ted chiang give a talk yesterday where he basically told a bunch of ai bros, "we are nowhere near having real ai, and what we call ai today is just a tool of capitalism. i don't fear ai, i fear capitalism" and the ai bros got their feelings hurt. it was great.

I sometimes get asked how to design surveys. This new working paper by @S_Stantcheva is the best introduction anyone could hope for: nber.org/system/files/w… It's extensive, clear, and on the research frontier. If you're looking to run surveys, read this.

Figma thought they were just selling an app, but actually they sold an entire community that didn't want to be sold

Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene had $183,504 in PPP loans forgiven. twitter.com/Acyn/status/15…

Greene: For our government just to say ok your debt is completely forgiven.. it’s completely unfair

You are in charge, not me. I'm just dead letters on a screen. You are co-creating this by reading. Cut me up, rearrange me, quote me, ignore me, put pieces of me into places I couldn’t imagine. The reader, not the writer, has the power. So welcome, co-creator, I'm at your mercy.


Anyone can finish a project, but have you ever started a new one?


Sometimes I think about how much good designers could do if freed from incentivizing consumption. And then I remember our education was all about building for consumption. We built our own prison and walked right in.

Great leaders & managers are self-aware. If you’re self-aware, you know you have blind spots. The best way to keep check on your blind spots is to hire people who are empowered to push back on you & build an environment where pushing back is encouraged & rewarded.

If we want a society of innovators, we need an education system designed around creative thinking and problem solving. Not instructions.

Most business books are just a middle-aged guy discovering EQ for the first time

The global GQ community is devastated to learn of the death of Virgil Abloh. Virgil was the consummate modern multi-hyphenate creative. He changed fashion and culture forever and opened doors to whole new generations. He will be missed.

We failed the design industry when we started calling everyone a Sr. Designer. We continue to fail by trying to only hire Sr. Designers.
