What’s something most people don’t understand?

View all responses

Who exactly are most people? And what level of understanding do we require?

To me it all comes down to Education and how we present and implement Education. If we choose to continue to treat Education as a money making enterprise or indeed allow those rich enough to pay for “cramming” or Intensive Courses” to achieve grades to move onto the next exclusive establishment.

Unfortunately , that will bolster a vicious cycle where we leave behind” most people” and are left with a skewed elite who have an education deemed appropriate by an elite.

The joke is on them, as most people probably have a curiosity that means they will choose not to be left out, and will find other ways of learning.

To know and understand your own curiosity and be willing to follow it’s path is something that Elitism does not encourage and is dare I say it beaten out of us. Not anymore , there are many paths to follow and many interests to pursue and a lot of progress comes from “most people” following their curiosity to solve modern day problems.

It’s just that at the time, curiosity may seem a waste of time and we may not even understand ourselves.

How has technology changed your job?

View all responses

Technology; or whatever we call developments and improvements(hopefully) to our way of living, including working has been part of our existence since we ignited a spark to make fire and warm ourselves and cook, or in the case of the Phoenicians simplify the alphabet to make communication easier between themselves and those they traded with.

Rather than worry or complain, we can take what is useful from these developments and benefit (hopefully).

Personally, I could never have predicted the changes, but I adapted to them and now can see some were good and some were bad. I would say communication and data gathering improved, but on the downside people didn’t really know what to do with the mass of data they were gathering.

The biggest downfall was interpretation of data, particularly financial data, big numbers had to be right and if they weren’t the results were disastrous. Bankruptcies, Redundancies and possibly Fraud Allegations to Companies ,many of which were long standing.

In many ways Technology and it’s impact is like the worse Jobs worth employee you could have, inflexible and by the book , when what you need is a little bit of creativity. AI brings it to the next level, but at the end of the day it could be the worse Jobs Worth you could imagine.

Perhaps interfering with my goals is a bit of a harsh AI phrase, but yes I like my own space and time and I think a lot of people would benefit from having space and time too.

What’s a secret skill or ability you have or wish you had?

View all responses

We are free to dream ; We are free to think,

Some of these prompts would turn you to drink,

To wish away the here and now,

Is life about making that big bow?

To hide your gifts under a bushel,

To refuse your teacher the tasty apple,

Perhaps we need just to see,

It’s more than enough just to be.

What is your favorite type of weather?

View all responses

I know Prince used to worry about Chem Trails and also sang about “Purple Rain”. Weather is miraculous and tempestuous.

It’s when the clouds are are grey,purple and pink against a fine blue sky and the sun is warm but not overpowering that I like it best.

The weather could change any minute or it might just stay still all afternoon. There’s a possibility of light drizzle, one of the clouds might just get darker and darker and turn black and drop a heavy downpour, and the prepared people who brought an umbrella will put it up over their heads and look smuggly at the sky , while the rest of us will run for cover.

All weather is amazing
