The Wisdom of Crowds

A book that I’m enjoying and getting provoked by at the moment is “The Wisdom of Crowds: Why the Many Are Smarter Than the Few” by James Surowiecki. Doing some thinking around why learning in groups is often (maybe always) more powerful than on your own. #ldinsight

Thinking, Fast and Slow

Daniel Kahneman

Last few days the combination of work and significant family care challenges have forced me to be thinking fast. Reminded of @kahneman_daniel “Thinking fast and slow”. Let’s not allow pressures to limit time to think slow, minimise bias and make considered decisions. #SlowDown https://t.co/BvfDzSCnCT

With the eyes needing rest after surgery grateful for audiobooks. Getting much from the brilliant “Rebel Ideas” @matthewsyed and “The Medici Effect” @Frans_Johansson on value of diverse communities. Add AI speech-to-text note taking and it’s a powerful “assistive technology” mix https://t.co/JMx4L7l2Vr
