#distributedprivilege

“a society of distributed privilege”

attached, a (big!) little something i’ve been working on yesterday afternoon.

a slide-deck of 33 slides down to about six.

content itself still to do, mind … but you can see where my #roadmap, already.

and i’ll be taking it with me to #sweden next week: a country which has striven so long to truly, actually, sincerely deliver a society of #distributedprivilege.

what i’ve been aiming at all this time i now realise, with ALL my projects around #intuitionvalidation.

and it makes me happy to begin slowly to know how to express it.

why ancient greek kinda floats my boat right now

#innovation has an interesting etymology.

i’ll just leave it here: paraphrasing that in #latin it kinda means to renew or make new … pretty close to today’s physical act of commercialising something that wasn’t really commercialised before.

this may or may not be significant. commercialising things is, after all, the dominant discourse for #innovation — indeed, practically all we do in any field of endeavour — in countries like the #uk and the #us.

but what interests me much more is the #greek delivery of #innovation as an act and concept: “cutting fresh into” it says.

as in incisive thought … and just about literally as per incision.

the former is make pots of money: once achieved, job done. nothing wrong with that. it’s fine as far as.

the latter, meanwhile, is … nothing to do with this, and everything to do with the human imagination and its capability to stretch everything before it. because.

so when did #innovate become edged away from cutting … and so when did cutting-edge actually become a lie?

it only remains for me to ask a final question: why when human thought is so fabulous at leaps of faith has our civilisation and business ways of delivery placed so much value on step-by-step progress?

as if, ffs, toddlers we had to remain forever …

and even, dare i say, in academia too.
