"Every culture has its own logic, its own beliefs, its own stresses. Once one buys into its assumptions, one becomes a prisoner to the logic. For some people, that means a march toward its more tragic conclusions." Great essay about culture-bound syndromes, focusing mainly on sly phallus poachers.
Ever thought of using AI as a participant during a Design Sprint? Well, what about making the whole Sprint silicon-based? For the lols, I've tried to run a Design Sprint just with AI participants, solving an imaginary problem for Vinted. Please, meet the 🤖-team:
Cyber Security Division of Homeland Security meets "Move fast and break things".
@oneknightinproduct.com started his presentation about 2025 product predictions with a big asterisk... ...then shared interesting insights on challenges to the PM role, including potential undermining of the role, how we can prove its value, and adapting to AI in the workplace. Really cool stuff!
Event in Berlin, organized by fantastic people from ProductLab 👏
I've enjoyed reading "Shape Up" by Ryan Singer, and the six-week dev cycles that fuel Basecamp (and many other companies). A lot of things to love here, clarity of the process, ownership given to the rest of the team, innovative (and resonating deeply) approach to visualising progress...
But the book is mainly about how to remove the risk of shipping - how to prepare and execute bets, watching the deadline closely. The book is super valuable, but I was missing the "Basecamp art and science of picking the right bets to shape". Found this additional context to fill that gap nicely!
Damn, that's some great storytelling and core values insights at Wave, from Zach Abugov: "Joyce opened the backpack and dumped a heap of cash onto the table. A powerful odor of fish filled the room. (...) 'Don’t worry,' Ben deadpanned. 'This is a totally legitimate company.'"
New favourite cosy fishing simulator: Dredge.
"Rules aren’t infallible; they’re best guesses (...)" Good stuff from Joey Cofone and his creativity course.
Good find for collecting feedback with a survey ⬇️ With Typeform amazing product getting a bit expensive for under-the-radar / smol / side project (10 responses/month in free tier, then 21 EUR for 100 responses 🙈), Tally.so came for the rescue!
Damn, what a clever, powerful and striking book title. Kudos to the authors! www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/737290...
...They were considered a delicacy and were accordingly sought after. As a result, the dark meat of the unpopular pollock was dyed red, marinated in salt and oil and sold as a salmon substitute." www.msc.org/de/fisch-nac...
Got new glasses, and went into a rabbit hole trying to figure out if they make me smarter. All I know for now is that they can make me uglier, and "it all depends". www.youtube.com/watch?v=aJBb... #psychology #glasses #psychscisky
What happens when someone who's never been able to create mental images suddenly gains that ability? Meet Patient A: diagnosed with autism & #aphantasia, she discovered a whole new dimension of consciousness through an unexpected source - magic mushrooms. Amazing preprint available here:
She went from aphantasia to hyperphantasia during the mushroom "trip", and then settled down to the "normal" levels of imagination. 12 months after the initial intake, she still can imagine things, but not as vividly. Here's more info in a form of cringy YouTube video:
