#WordsofWisdom Imagine a world where, instead of increasing conflict and polarisation, respect for difference and lasting peace was the norm. As #innovators and #entrepreneurs how are we building #respectfordifference into our technologies, products and businesses? Imagine if #peace was a design parameter...part of the value proposition.

DAY 3 Unveiling the Invisible Grandeur Today, I had the privilege of meeting some of the most creative & transformational minds on this planet. Afterward, I captured an image that beautifully embodies our shared vision. Given the presence of attorneys, I also incorporated this insight into today’s writing while preparing my notes: Reality is the fusion of shared perceptions where individual views united in a understanding weave personal truths into simulated universes. Forming & evolving, it endures by applying the weight of laws held sacred by the group. Thus, shaping common customs & crystallizing their universe through a collective BELIEF in the codes that define their shared reality—often rooted in personal survival desires meant to persist beyond unprocessed agreements or Natural Law. The inherent artificiality of these laws fosters resistance against this binding code, necessitating enforcement to maintain its integrity. The 33 Institute is here & we are poised to bring our vision to at-risk populations very soon. What was once deemed impossible & unseen is now within reach. Stay tuned for the transformation. Don’t be satisfied with stories, how things have gone with others. Unfold your own myth. RUMI Indeed I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just, that His justice cannot sleep forever. Thomas Jefferson

Jerry Seinfeld recently gave the Duke Commencement Speech. While he still remains one of the wittiest (and best looking) people in comedy, in between the jokes there are several "real keys to life" from Jerry that made me stop and and pause. Put simply, he says: 1. Let go of this idea that you need to find *shirt ripped open* passion. Find fascination. Fascination is way better than passion. 2. Bust your ass. Make an effort. Pure stupid "no real idea what i'm doing here, effort." Effort always yields a positive value. Just swing the bat and pray is not a bad approach to a lot of things. 3. Pay attention. [Worth just listening to him on this one.] 4. Fall in love. It's easy to fall in love with people. But fall in love with everything you possibly can. Find something where you love the good parts and don't mind the bad parts too much. The torture you're comfortable with. Have a watch and consider starting at minute 3:00. https://lnkd.in/gyKFRi8a

A NEW-OLD VIDEO: Martin Buber on relationships https://lnkd.in/dBFeEaMk This video was originally made in 2014 (subtitles added in 2024). Despite the primitive camera, it presents Buber's basic philosophical vision. . Martin Buber (1878-1965) was a Jewish Austrian-born Israeli philosopher, most famous for his influential philosophy of relationships. As he explains in his book I AND THOU (1923), a person is defined by his/her relationships. A person is never a separate atom, but always a person-in-relation. Relationships, according to Buber, come in two forms: (1) I-It which is a distant pragmatic relationship, and (2) I-Thou (or I-You), which is a relationship of togetherness. The former is necessary for life, but the second gives meaning to life. https://lnkd.in/dBFeEaMk
