@collective_truth I still feel we would be much more effective if we focus on changing the conditions under which people operate in the system than on getting people themselves to change, because they won’t. Never have, never will.

It’s one of the many things I’ve learned over last 3 decades doing change management within orgs.

Remember the good old E2.0 & #SocBiz? Where are they nowadays? Did we get it wrong? 🤔

Oooh, and one more, if I may, perhaps a tad more poignant than the previous one I shared:

"Evangelists in corporations or governments may like to tell us it is as a way of undermining our sense of collective agency, but together with the infinite cast who make up the history of techno-negativity, we know better. At a time when Big Tech is becoming enamored with authoritarian politics, the stakes are higher than ever"

Another noteworthy quote from that blog post:

"With the emergence of the industrial revolution, technology had become a weapon wielded by the capitalist classes. Against this emergent capitalism, the Luddites developed a spirit of collectivism, fighting for themselves, for their fellow workers, and for a future beyond self-interest and profit"

"With every leap in technological advancement, we witness a fierce urge to undo it. Technologies are invented, attacked, delayed, dropped, delayed, re-emerge, vanish again"

Wonder whether that techno-negativity was as fierce in the good old #Web20 / #Enterprise20 days than nowadays with #GenAI. Did we miss it? 🤔

A brief history of techno-negativity

From the techne pessimists of Ancient Greece to the computer firebombers of the Information Age, here's a look at the long—and fruitful—legacy of refusing the machine.

Gosh, just re-read @tante blog post below and it's plain brutal! 🤯👍🏻

"Work is not really about finding friends. It happens but it’s not necessary. But there is – ideally – a level of respect for one another. The acknowledgement of each other’s expertise, skills and contributions as well as one’s weaknesses. All those allow the forming of communities based on solidarity" 👨🏻‍🍳💋

Die Themen der Woche: Teil 2 des sechsten Sachstandsberichts des Weltklimarats (IPCC AR6 WG2) – Folgen des Klimawandels, Anpassungsstrategien, Verwundbarkeit und klima-resiliente Entwicklung. Ich beschäftige mich mit den Schlüssel-Risiken für uns Menschen, Risiko-Kaskaden (statt Naturschutz), den Berichten aus den Regionen. Spannend und eine positive Überraschung: meteorologische Klima-Dienstleistungen im Senegal / West-Afrika. Ernüchternd: Amerika – sowohl im Süden als auch im Norden. Weckruf und höchste Alarm-Bereitschaft für Europa. Neuer Fördertopf des BMWK für kleine und mittelständische Firmen mit strategischer Orientierung am Gemeinwohl: REACT for impact.
