    Daily Reads (Livestream Experiment Day 93) - Ulterior motives, or “why?” when it makes no sense.

    Day 93—momentum Monday: Started with a microlesson on optimization—system efficiency versus human experience. Then a conversation on ulterior motives and incentives... Using recent UAP news as the example. (Plus, my theory on Unidentified Anomalous Phenomena...) Articles Discussed It’s worth noting that using “whistleblower” in the headlines makes it seem like more and more whistleblowers are coming forward... Except the whistleblower in this article is the same guy in several articles... “Military whistleblower goes public with claims US has secret UFO retrieval program: ‘Terrestrial arms race’” Just like we can “know” something is off visually (uncanny valley), we can “know” something is off audibly, even if we can’t put our finger on it. I wonder if we’re the same with pattern recognition in context of marketing, propaganda, and narratives? “Deepfake Detection: Your Brain Hears the Difference Even When You Can’t” Get full access to Creativity & Culture at www.creativityandculture.com/subscribe

  2. Daily Reads (Livestream Experiment Day 92) - Learn to see through art, and general relativity.

    Daily Reads (Livestream Experiment Day 92) - Learn to see through art, and general relativity.

    Day 92 for a fun Friday! Playing with the descriptor. May go with “Articles and more for personal innovation—through the Poetry Filter.” May stop at “innovation.” Conversations on expressions of building skills through different types of art, plus reality. Articles Discussed Art is an excellent way to build skills on noticing details, crafting a vision, and expressing it. Drawing is one way, but writing poetry, sculpting, and even photography are means to develop the same core skills. “Learn to See” My question is, if these are possible, why haven’t we observed them? What else are we missing? “‘Crystals’ of space-time could be the origins of certain rare black holes, theoretical study hints” Get full access to Creativity & Culture at www.creativityandculture.com/subscribe

    Daily Reads (Livestream Experiment Day 91) - What human nature predicts.

    Day 91 done! A conversation on the Human Nature Filter and what it predicts... In context of two foundational premises around needs. * Potential: We are created in the image of the Almighty. * Reality: We have a fallen sin nature. Articles Discussed Very interesting article. And I love the 3 body problem metaphor. “The Three-City Problem of Modern Life” The Human Nature Filter predicts behavior like this. “"The Spectrum": How Autism Was Hijacked By Narcissists” Get full access to Creativity & Culture at www.creativityandculture.com/subscribe

    Daily Reads (Livestream Experiment Day 90) - Caffeine: messaging, marketing, telling the truth.

    Day 90 done; T-minus 9 streaming days until Day 100. A conversation on caffeine influencing you… And marketing, messaging, and telling the truth. If we don’t seek out the truth of a gap, we risk making up lies to fill it. Articles Discussed Would be interesting to learn all the ways your gut microbiome can influence you—and what all you ingest can influence your “influencers” in you. “Scientists discover how coffee interacts with the gut microbiome to affect the human brain” --- This may seem obvious to some of you, but we should never assume it is. I do believe marketing, messaging, and branding are inseparable. And as for messaging—if you don’t intentionally craft it, people craft it for you. “Marketing is the Message” --- If you’re leading yourself or others, what are you marketing about yourself? What’s your messaging on whether or not people can feel like that can tell you what they need to—and what you need to hear? “Why Everyone Hesitates To Tell You The Truth” Get full access to Creativity & Culture at www.creativityandculture.com/subscribe

    Daily Reads (Livestream Experiment Day 89) - Knowing what's possible; adoption and trauma.

    Day 89 on adoption and God’s purpose. Discussing an article on adoption and death. This was by far the hardest live stream I have done. It was a struggle to keep it together. The topic is close to home and heart. But, there is hope! Article Discussed “God sets the lonely in families,” Psalm 68:6a. What an a legacy his daughter gifted to her family. “I Don’t Want Likes. I Want You To Know This Is Possible.” Get full access to Creativity & Culture at www.creativityandculture.com/subscribe

    Daily Reads (Livestream Experiment Day 88) - With poet and publisher, Stephanie, of King Ari Press.

    Day 88 with Stephanie of King Ari Press! Loved the conversation with Stephanie, discussing her publishing company, poetry, and a little of her story. Starting a publishing company was a organic fit for her, because of how she stewarded everything that fed into it. King Ari Press You can follow Stephanie’s work here on Substack, on X (where she post daily writing tips), and by going to her website, where she has her own work and the work of the authors’ she’s published.

    Daily Reads (Livestream Experiment Day 87) - Social media growth, family growth, remembering

    87 days done! Conversations on incentives in context of social media and family. Your incentives need to align with your systems. Incentivize your mission—let your vision be an incentive. Articles “Some Problems with X” Interesting article because of the emphasis on incentives. There’s a lot of opportunity still with X, but it’s good to be aware. I also wonder how X will continue to adjust. “I started watching SG-1 at age 15.” Love this because of what it says about making memories with family.And then this guy repeated making those memories with his kids.Incentivize family time! Sometimes it takes a little incentive to change the category of what you're building. You don't have to wait for the opportunity to appear—you can make your own.

    Daily Reads (Livestream Experiment Day 86) - The human condition and John Berryman's "Dream Song 1"

    86 days of Daily Reads without ending the experiment. A conversation on human experience, with an essay on Paul Celan and a poem by John Berryman. Also, as a side note—poetry translators are some of the most skill artists in the world. Articles Discussed “Paul Celan’s Via Negativa” by Brian Patrick Eha. I had never heard of Paul Celan before seeing this post by Joseph Massey. And yes, the essay is written beautifully. “Dream Song 1” God set eternity in the hearts of men, and a poem is an attempt to reach it. This poem by John Berryman is full of that depth of searching. And it’s an incredible example of Feel, Flow, and Function in a work of art. Get full access to Creativity & Culture at www.creativityandculture.com/subscribe
