Creativity and Commoditization
Most products and technologies became commoditized. I believe this is mostly due to a lack of creativity. When was the last time you saw a product that totally caught you off-guard in absolute amazement? Nobody dares to create something uniquely NEW.Commoditization happens because everyone is just…

Meritocracy Without Balance
Meritocracy without equality is basically a ladder with missing steps, which only the fortunate few can climb. The rest is basically left at the ground to gaze up. Furthermore, a pure focus on meritocracy can become a weakness if it’s a zero-sum game. While talents thrive…

Understanding: Human vs. Machine
Whether we understand a text depends on several factors. First, do we recognize and understand the alphabet? Do we understand the language? Assuming both, we can read the words that are written. But this doesn’t mean we understand the text. Understanding what is written depends on…
