Some lovely quotes from the book, “Alchemy: The Dark Art and Curious Science of Creating Magic in Brands” by Rory Sutherland.

If you read them, you will not be able to stop yourself from buying the book and read it.

A thread!

Here you go

1. The economy is not a machine – it is a highly complex system. Machines don’t allow for magic, but complex systems do. Engineering doesn’t allow for magic. Psychology does.

2. When you demand logic, you pay a hidden price: you destroy magic.

3. The human mind does not run on logic any more than a horse runs on petrol.

4. Human behaviour is an enigma. Learn to crack the code.

5. To avoid stupid mistakes, learn to be slightly silly.

6. More data leads to better decisions. Except when it doesn’t.

7. Being slightly bonkers can be a good negotiating strategy: being rational means you are predictable, and being predictable makes you weak.

8. We could never have evolved to be rational – it makes you weak.

9. If you are wholly predictable, people learn to hack you.

10. The record of science in some ways casts doubt on a scientific approach to problem-solving.

11. Be careful before calling something nonsense.

12. The opposite of a good idea can also be a good idea.

You've heard of Moore's and Murphy's Law.

But did you know there are dozens of other laws that can help you better navigate life, business, relationships?

Here are 20+ powerful laws you should know:

Note:

Some of these laws are better known as principles, effects, or razors, but for the sake of simplicity, I call them all laws.

Now let's dive in!

Amara's Law:

• We overestimate technology in the short run and underestimate it in the long run.

Never forget how fast tech moves.

The first cellphone was a foot tall and could only make calls.

An iPhone today fits in your pocket and can do everything a laptop can do.

Alder's Law:

• If something cannot be settled by experiment then it is not worthy of debate.

Don't waste your time arguing if Jordan was better than LeBron or any other similar hypothetical situation that can't be tested.

There are a million better ways to spend your time.

Acton's Law:

• Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Be prepared for people to change once they get a new position.

When someone becomes powerful, you'll find out their true colors and discover if they're actually a good person or were just pretending.

3 Powerful Lessons From "Man's Search for Meaning"

Read this to Find more Meaning in Life.

🧵Thread🧵


Frankl's memoir describes how he survived the Auschwitz Concentration Camp.

Not only does he describe his experiences

But he also discusses how he was able to find meaning through his suffering.

Here are 3 Powerful Lessons to help you find more meaning in life
⬇️


1. You always Have The Freedom to Choose

Arriving prisoners were stripped of everything they owned and separated from everyone they loved.

Everything can be taken from you except one thing:

The Freedom to choose your attitude and response to a situation
⬇️


You can't avoid suffering in your life

But can always choose how your respond to suffering.

Your choice determines if You're a Victim of Your Circumstances

Or the Victor of Them.

Find meaning by choosing to respond to the task that's been handed to you.
⬇️

2. Create something to Aim For

While in the camp, Frankl would constantly refer to Nietsche's quote:

"He who has a why to live can bear almost any how"

Frankl would visualize being back with his wife or lecturing in colleges again to help him get through his suffering

fascinated by this man, mario cortellucci, and his outsized influence on ontario and GTA politics. cortellucci, who lives in vaughan and ran as a far-right candidate for the italian senate back in 2018 - is a major ford donor...


his name might sound familiar because the new cortellucci vaughan hospital at mackenzie health, the one doug ford has been touting lately as a covid-centric facility, is named after him and his family

but his name also pops up in a LOT of other ford projects. for instance - he controls the long term lease on big parts of toronto's portlands... where doug ford once proposed building an nfl stadium and monorail... https://t.co/weOMJ51bVF


cortellucci, who is a developer, also owns a large chunk of the greenbelt. doug ford's desire to develop the greenbelt has been

and late last year he rolled back the mandate of conservation authorities there, prompting the resignations of several members of the greenbelt advisory

Again, at such a key moment in UK and at such high political levels, evidence of deep misunderstanding of EU: The PM is under pressure in some quarters to delay #Brexit vote to allow her first to “improve” deal in Brussels BUT EU is determined not to budge at this stage

2) All EU leaders watching tomorrow’s vote. Of course they want to avoid a no deal #Brexit BUT they feel the deal - so painfully negotiated between EU and UK - is too fresh to re-open. Clarifications, yes but fundamental renegotiations, no.

3) The EU’s international reputation as a tough deal-maker is at stake here too. If Brussels now suddenly “gives in” to U.K. on EU red lines (eg backstop) then that would weaken the EU’s reputation in future trade negotiations with other non EU countries

4) Also on backstop the EU is unlikely to cave in to favour a relationship with a leaving member state (UK) against the explicit wishes and ignoring the deep concerns of a continuing member: Ireland.

5) Both the EU and the PM signed up to a guarantee to protect the border between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. If either the U.K. or EU can leave the backstop unilaterally then this clearly is no longer a guarantee.

So when it first appeared in Normandy, the Sherman Firefly and it's meaty 17 pounder represented an ideal combo of reliable chassis, great gun and devastating firepower right?

Ummm...

Truth is a bit more complex. /1
#WW2 #SWW #History


Deliveries of Firefly to units only commenced in April 1944,
just a few weeks before Overlord & left minimal time for familiarisation.

Armoured Regiments mostly utilised Fireflies on a basis of 1 per troop of 4 tanks. /2


Finally each armoured regiment troop had access to integral, meaty, anti-tank firepower capable of dealing serious damage to any German AFV likely to be encountered. /3


The dual purpose 75mm gun was quite capable of laying down a reasonable HE shell or AP round for dealing with Panzer III or IV.

Firefly's 17 Pounder had.... problems with HE, but excelled at tank killing. So Tigers and Panthers would need to be wary. /4


Firefly's design history dated back to March 1943 when the General Staff published "Policy on Tanks" which effectively stated the majority of tanks should have a good HE weapon and...
