🚨 Breaking News: #Apple adds new names to their **incredible** #executive list! 🎉 Because, clearly, changing a few job titles is exactly what's needed to fix years of #creative #stagnation and subpar ads—they've cracked the code! 💡

The New Apple Finally Begins to Emerge

It’s official. Apple’s added Steve Lemay and Molly Anderson to their executive leadership page. After much drama following Alan Dye’s departure, the company has decided to not only elevate the two designers but give them the kind of platform that they deserve. They’re now listed right alongside folks like Tim Cook and John Ternus. I think it’s no secret that many of us have come to agree that Apple’s been a bit lost the past few years. Between Vision Pro, Apple Intelligence, tone deaf advertisements, and debates over software quality, there’s been a sense that a change needs to happen. I care about Apple holistically, as a living breathing entity not just their products. So who is running the joint matters to me. It doesn’t feel like a coincidence that the same week we get a radically different kind of Mac, we also see the executive leadership page get a revamp.

... effectively finalizing the transition of Homo sapiens into a truly knowledge-based, hyper-intelligent global species. The cost of inaction is not merely financial; it is the #stagnation of #human #potential at a fraction of its true capability. - Think your great grandchildren++. #Legacy! 🔦🎤💃🏻

“Loss is like a wind, it either carries you to a new destination or it traps you in an ocean of stagnation. You must quickly learn how to navigate the sail, for stagnation is death.”

(my two cents) #manufacturing output = exports + domestic absorption – imports of manufactured goods (net), Note: If exports are flat, manufacturing can only rise if domestic absorption increases or import penetration falls.
I would say that #Germany is not “exiting #stagnation”; it is buying time with fiscal demand support, achieving stabilisation without yet restoring a self-sustaining industrial growth model.

#German economy is forecast to grow 1.1% this year, up from just 0.3% in 2025, ending 6y of #stagnation as expansionary #fiscal policy boosts domestic #demand, notes chart @GoldmanSachs

AI-induced cultural stagnation is no longer speculation − it’s already happening

AI-mediated culture is already being filtered in ways that favor the familiar, the describable and the conventional.

“As a result of extensive #deregulation of the #financialsystem, #money has seized control of the world #capitalist #economy. The result is much as #Keynes would have predicted: widespread #stagnation punctuated by #financialinstability”

i'm starting to consider "standing still" or "staying in the same place" to actually be going backwards ⏸️ = ⏪
because not only does time march past you, but your skills fade, and your "working memory" for your projects needs to be relearned 🧠

makes me truly believe the "do one small thing every day" mentality 🛠️📅

just my thoughts today, glad to hear other perspectives 🤔💜
