Trump, Stargate, and Vaccines for Cancer. I'm cringing reading articles and seeing videos showing Trump, Sam Altman, and Larry Ellison speaking about using A.I. to develop vaccines for cancer.

I have something I call "The Farmer's Market rule." I spoke about this on the Vendy podcast with Jordan. It is a metaphor for working with coaches, facilitators, and wellbeing practitioners.

When I go to the farmers market, I don't just look at the food people are selling.. I also look at the people selling the food.

I ask myself, "Do I want to look like this person who is selling me this food?"

I do the same for facilitators, trainers, and Wellbeing practitioners: "Does this person live in a way I want to embody more fully in my life?"

I would not go to Altman, Trump, or Ellison for Wellbeing guidance + wisdom. Maybe for advice and wisdom in other domains and themes.

We really need leaders who are embodying Wellbeing to lead our planetary and national wellbeing initiatives. I cringe when I see people who I judge as disembodied pioneering these explorations. It feels like a recipe for disaster with the possibility to cause a lot of harm to a lot of people.

You're correct that the trust tracks different groups of people rating expertise differently. there are two things we haven't fully released yet that address trust bubble fragmentation: an algorithmic way of identifying the people you most trust who have a different view from you...

trust and reputation systems

Bot Idea: Sense of Self. I just got an idea for a bot that can review every reference you’ve made to yourself and give you a sense of how you speak about yourself and what that seems to imply about how you see yourself.

I dig it, good idea! This is the kind of thing LLMs are usually good at, and something we’ll have the data for. we’ll still need to prompt it as to what kinda of frameworks to use or else it’ll default to telling you a particular developmental levels values, but that’s not so bad...

The Relateful Company should embrace more job titles. We’re under-appreciating orange.

We’ve included the green critiques, like the classic:

What gets measured gets managed — even when it’s pointless to measure and manage it, and even if it harms the purpose of the organisation to do so - V. F. Ridgway, 1956

But we need to embrace more healthy competition, striving for excellence, even rankings.

one way we can do this is to make more liberal use of titles, and brag on people. @Valerie Daniel is the MANAGING DIRECTOR, and we should have her listed as such in emails and things

What else is healthy orange and how can we transclude it?
What do we already do that is already healthy orange?

I’ve had some chats with someone who really didn’t like the believability scores and had feelings about how it all went down, and the impression I got was that it was coming from a more teal place. I might be getting the colour scheme wrong there though....
