Good read for your Sunday on the psychology of leading teams and actually our own personal lives.. After all who on Earth can lead other people without 'leading' themselves right...?! And this article delves into the psychology of asking ourselves: 'why not' ?!

Many new ideas, solutions and good problem-solving comes from always being able to challenge our ideas and what stays there as the established paradigms. There is no progress to human beings unless we creatively challenge old ideas with new ones... Relentlessly.

Why You Should Regularly Ask "Why Not?"

Learn how regularly asking "why not?" liberates your thinking and opens your problem solving to a world of possibilities.

As principais questões filosóficas que vale a pena refletir profundamente são apenas estas: porquê e como temos o tipo de consciência humana que temos e que todos partilhamos?; a consciência que abrange tudo o que pensamos, fazemos, decidimos e criamos?

A Consciência Humana é o principal mistério científico e filosófico não resolvido da Natureza. Também faz parte da Natureza!

Para além destas questões, o que podemos pensar e dizer com confiança é que as melhores partes da mesma devem e precisam de ser vividas e maximizadas!

The main philosphical questions worth to ponder about deeply are only these: why and how do we have the type of human consciousness that we have and all share ?; the consciousness that encompasses all of what we think, do, decide and create ?

Human Consciousness is the main scientific and philosophical unresolved mystery of Nature. It is also part of Nature!

Beyond these questions, what we can confidently think and say is that the better parts of it should and must be lived and maximized!

Good quote. Taking responsibility is not about being perfect or not making mistakes in what we do professionally. It is about always knowing when to see where we are wrong, always with a relentless self-disciplined monitoring. Mistakes and errors are opportunities to improve further.

Nobel Prize-winning writer Toni Morrison on taking responsibility and seeing clearly:
"
"[T]his is my work. I have to take full responsibility for doing it right as well as doing it wrong. Doing it wrong isn’t bad, but doing it wrong and thinking you’ve done it right is." "

And now something completely... "normally" different (😂). Imagine this Space ship able to transport humanity into our closest neighbor Star-system - Alpha Centaury.

Several Science-fiction writers and thinkers have already put pen to paper on this many times. It might be a far fetched idea for our current historical circumstances, but on the effort of thinking a bit deeper on it, Humanity will inevitably try this. And if you think of it, it is a feat of Science and Innovation that on Earth we can only imagine (it must be able to innovate continuously during the very long journey....). And it goes beyond, for if it is to succeed it will need a Society and Political institutions as well... And highly functional ones, obviously.

Meet Chrysalis, The Generational Ship Designed To Take Humans On A 400-Year Trip To Alpha Centauri.

In order to prepare for the journey, the first generation would have to spend 70-80 years in Antarctica.

The Economics of modern day Semiconductors Gigafabs is a mind bending jigsaw challenge. But the main lesson from this video is that there are economic sectors such that, even if the costs and economic risks being very high, the incentive structures could all align for many win-win outcomes. They define their own economic incentive structures. Semiconductors fabs today are also alligned into a very thin layer of economic viability... They have become players of a strategic geoplitical game, beyond simple economic concepts.

Good read. For all the negative nuisance around everything the new US Trump President Administration is obliged to read and hear in the mainstream press (most of that criticism is appropriate and fair), there are some Economic Public Policy decisions with which the MAGA administration might strike the balance right. Let us hope for more positive news from this US administration....

The Urgent Need For Revolutionizing Economic Statistics

Donald Trump’s abandonment of honest economic statistics highlights what’s been true for a while: The way we measure economic activity has long been inadequate for modern political challenges.
