rePost:Shigeru Miyamoto Wants to Create a Kinder World | The New Yorker

I want to bring us back to the Willy Wonka comparison. In “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” Wonka sets a competition with the secret aim of finding someone who has what it takes to replace him. I’m not suggesting that you’re looking for a replacement. But Nintendo existed long before you or I were born and will, I’m sure, exist long after both you and I are gone. What quality do you think Nintendo needs to protect in order to keep being Nintendo?

As the company has gained new competitors over the years, it’s given us an opportunity to think deeply about what makes Nintendo Nintendo. [President] Shuntaro Furukawa is currently in his forties, and [general manager] Shinya Takahashi is in his fifties; we are moving toward a position that will insure the spirit of Nintendo is passed down successfully. I am not concerned about that anymore. Now I’m focussing on the need to continue to find new experiences. This has always been what interested and excited me about the medium: not perfecting the old but discovering the new.

QOTD: 2020 12 16 Elizabeth Gilbert

A QUOTE TO THINK ABOUT

“Recognizing that people’s reactions don’t belong to you is the only sane way to create. If people enjoy what you’ve created, terrific. If people ignore what you’ve created, too bad. If people misunderstand what you’ve created, don’t sweat it. And what if people absolutely hate what you’ve created? What if people attack you with savage vitriol, and insult your intelligence, and malign your motives, and drag your good name through the mud? Just smile sweetly and suggest – as politely as you possibly can – that they go make their own fucking art. Then stubbornly continue making yours.”

rePost:Donald Trump’s Legacy of Lies – The Atlantic

The second event came on November 3. For months Trump had tried frantically to destroy Americans’ trust in the election—the essence of the democratic system, the one lever of power that belongs undeniably to the people. His effort consisted of nonstop lies about the fraudulence of mail-in ballots. But the ballots flooded into election offices, and people lined up before dawn on the first day of early voting, and some of them waited 10 hours to vote, and by the end of Election Day, despite the soaring threat

Realisations 2020 12 12 0412H

I realized something while watching Discovery Episode 9 Season 3. The writers with one scene made the Admiral a good leader in my eyes. Good writing.

But it started me pondering why I can’t seem to watch a new show right now. I have such long a backlog that I have been actively ignoring watching CLOY, Itaewon Class, Startup.

I try to be introspective, I even have the fantasy that my default mode is introspection first.

I have been try to keep a semblance of normalcy by not watching new things.

The seeming contradiction is I am watching KPOP a lot.

Upon further thought I am just going back to the college age mindset to try new things or maybe more accurately a midlife crisis type of mindset wherein you try youthful things to capture ones youthful mindset again.

All in all I am not Okay but It’s Okay not to be Okay.

Steve Jobs Believed 1 Career Choice Separates the Doers from the Dreamers (and Leads to Success) | Inc.com

Build confidence with achievable goals

Now you need a system to keep you accountable. All-or-nothing goals can feel impossible to accomplish and are a surefire way to sap your confidence. Instead, set incremental goals to build momentum through your career. This is much more practical and achievable than relying on one major goal to define whether your career is a success or failure.
Once you’ve identified your big, audacious goal, break it into smaller, more quantifiable goals to make it easier to manage it. Every small goal achieved will contribute to a more sustainable sense of progress. When you’re ready to set a new goal, ask yourself:
  • When do I want to achieve this goal?
  • How long will it take?
  • What resources and skills do I have?
  • What resources and skills do I need?

The Daimons’ Wisdom | Lapham’s Quarterly

If the laws are so easy for factions and plutocrats and autocrats to seize, why do we think laws are fit to rule at all? How can so frail a thing as civil law be trusted to protect our livelihoods and our borders, keeping citizens safe from each other’s bad humors? The answer is that laws can rule if we equip them to—but not by themselves. Even the kingliest laws need constant support from citizens who understand their human origins and all-too-human vulnerability. Plato expressed this through a myth. When
