Crossing the chasm - Bridging the gap

Crossing The Chasm — Building Bridges To Close The Gap

Yes­ter­day over lunch, we dis­cussed the lib­er­tar­i­an notion of essen­tial­ly get­ting rid of lega­cy com­plex­i­ty, such as leg­is­la­tion, reg­u­la­tion, etc. Some of the early pro­po­nents and cre­ators of cryp­tocur­ren­cies have expressed lib­er­tar­i­an world views by try­ing to leave the mon­e­tary sys­tem of cen­tral banks and hand over the power of money cre­ation to the peo­ple. Extreme views like this might seem promis­ing, but I pre­fer cross­ing the chasm and build­ing bridges

Beyond Logic - The Case For Mathematical Platonism

Beyond Logic — The Case For Mathematical Platonism

At school, I was never good at maths. At the uni­ver­si­ty, I was inter­est­ed in sta­tis­tics, but only mar­gin­al­ly. Hon­est­ly, I start­ed to learn about the beau­ty of maths many years later, when work­ing with more intel­li­gent peo­ple than me who under­stand com­put­ers and data, in gen­er­al. After I start­ed work­ing on Blockchain in 2014, I began to real­ize that some aspects of maths, such as game the­o­ry or cat­e­go­ry the­o­ry, play togeth­er with other fields

Being Aware Of Change Agents - Decide For The Better

Being Aware Of Change Agents — Decide For The Better

A change agent is a per­son from inside or out­side the orga­ni­za­tion who helps an orga­ni­za­tion trans­form itself by focus­ing on such mat­ters as orga­ni­za­tion­al effec­tive­ness, improve­ment, and devel­op­ment. This is, what the dic­tio­nary says. For me, change agents are every­where, and always behind the next cor­ner. Being aware of change agents — decide for the bet­ter. My behav­ior could be defined as my actions based on sev­er­al given dif­fer­ent preconditions,

Predecentralism - A Highly Distributed Era We Live In

Predecentralism — A Highly Distributed Era We Live In

At the begin­ning of 2019, none of the new the­o­ries and labels for the era after post­mod­ernism, which itself seems to have come to an end, have so far gained wide­spread accep­tance. Post-postmodernism, trans-postmodernism, post-millennialism, pseudo-modernism. digi­mod­ernism or meta­mod­ernism are some of the attempts to find an appro­pri­ate label. My sug­ges­tion is Pre­de­cen­tral­ism — a high­ly dis­trib­uted era we live in. With pre­de­cen­tral­ism I mean an era before most of our think­ing, behaviors,

Connectedness is the meaning of life

Connectedness With The Environment Is The Meaning Of Life

Speak­ing in your moth­er tongue doesn‘t stress you at all while hav­ing a con­ver­sa­tion in anoth­er lan­guage might result in hard men­tal work. Even if you are flu­ent, let‘s say, in french, it most prob­a­bly requires a sig­nif­i­cant effort to pro­duce the melo­di­ous tim­bre of a Parisian. Where­as we have inter­nal­ized and syn­chro­nized our native lan­guages with our thoughts, we have to sys­tem­at­i­cal­ly trans­late our think­ing into for­eign words. Con­nect­ed­ness with the environment

Accept A Situation As It Is! Don‘t Resist, Don‘t Judge, Don‘t Inhere!

Today, I stum­bled upon this inter­view with molecular-biologist-turned-Buddhist-monk, Matthieu Ricard (in Ger­man). A few years ago, I lis­tened to his famous Altru­ism and although my favorite way of med­i­ta­tion is not focus­ing on a spe­cif­ic topic, s.a. love, or altru­ism, but try­ing not to think at all, I’m absolute­ly con­vinced by his gen­er­al approach of altru­ism. In his inter­view he demon­strates that he’s a very prac­ti­cal per­son: refer­ring to the Bud­dhist story of 500 people

Enterprise Evolution Model - The Protocol

The Enterprise Evolution: From Hierarchical Institutions To Protocols

From the early days of cap­i­tal­ism, when from 1633 the Hol­lan­dis­che Mer­curius referred to cap­i­tal­ists as the own­ers of cap­i­tal, on to David Ricar­do who, in his Prin­ci­ples of Polit­i­cal Econ­o­my and Tax­a­tion is seen as the one who actu­al­ly coined the term cap­i­tal­ism, until today: the struc­ture and behav­ior of the enter­prise as the main cap­i­tal­ist enti­ty, hasn’t changed that much. With the advent of blockchain tech­nol­o­gy, the evo­lu­tion of

No Waiting, No Excuses — Just get started! Just Do It!

If I want to drink some­thing, I do it. If I want to go to bed, I do it. If I want to lis­ten to music, I do it. If I want to go out for din­ner, I do it. if I want to see my friends, I do it. If I want to play a back­hand top­spin, I do it. If I want to launch a new web­site, I do it. If I want to start a new com­pa­ny, I do it. If I want to avoid insol­ven­cy, I do

Connecting The Dots - The Intuition Of An Explorative Mind

Connecting The Dots — The Intuition Of An Explorative Mind

The days between X‑Mas and New Year’s Eve are some­what spe­cial for me: for­mal­ly, I decide not to work, and most part of the day that’s true. But since I have been an entre­pre­neur all my life, there’s no dis­tinct line between busi­ness and non-business; these days pro­vide the time for reflec­tions — how was the past year? — and for thoughts about goals and instru­ments for the approach­ing next year: Con­nect­ing the

Every situation is like it is. It's us who interprete it. A positive thinker knows 3 states of mind: Acceptance, Joy and Enthusiasm

The Positive States Of Mind — Acceptance, Joy And Enthusiasm

A few days ago I saw a photo of a burn­ing giant 2016 sym­bol on Twit­ter. For many of us there’s no need for expla­na­tion: this year’s major events seem­ing­ly jus­ti­fy to regard 2016 as a lost year. And from every sin­gle even­t’s per­spec­tive that may be true. Before, how­ev­er, let’s have a look at the pos­i­tive states of mind — accep­tance, joy, and enthu­si­asm. Should we real­ly burn 2016? Of course, not. Accep­tance I suggest

Interested In The Next Big Thing? It’s Neuroplasticity.

I’ve had two per­son­al Eure­ka moments right after anoth­er, just recent­ly. You know these moments: sud­den­ly it’s all crystal-clear — and the main ques­tion is why you just did not real­ize it before. First, for me it’s a fore­gone con­clu­sion that the blockchain is the biggest and most valu­able tech­no­log­i­cal inno­va­tion. If you’re inter­est­ed in that stuff you can find my argu­ment on Datarel­la. Pri­vate­ly, I have focused on some­thing dif­fer­ent. Interested

New product development in the age of smart things: philosophy, sociology and psychology would play a pivotal role in new product development

New Product Development in the Age of Smart Things

If you’re respon­si­ble for new prod­uct devel­op­ment in your com­pa­ny, you will be famil­iar with the sev­er­al steps of that process. Experts most­ly sep­a­rate the new prod­uct devel­op­ment process into seven or eight steps, start­ing with idea gen­er­a­tion and fin­ish­ing with a post-launch review. The fact that more and more things become smart; i.e. they either fea­ture some intel­li­gence or they are con­nect­ed and con­trolled through the IoT, has sig­nif­i­cant implications
