#EigentumVerpflichtet !!!
Davon spürt man derzeit wenig.
Gesellschaftl. Unterstützung in Form von #steuervergünstigungen und #staatlicheMaßnahmen wie #SenkungEnergiekosten lautstark einfordern, damit die vorhandenen Gewinne in Zeiten der #Transformation und #Disruption wieder den maximalen #Gewinnerwartungen zugunsten der Aktionäre steigen.
#jammeraufhohemniveau

Ja, Wirtschaft muss Gewinn bringen für die Unternehmen UND die Gesellschaft.
Das zeichnet Demokratie aus!

@kim_harding Yesterday I had a conversation about it and we concluded with the same result: We live in a world now, where the same thing brings us at the same time to hysterical laughter and horror (such guys are sitting at the nuclear weapons).
But it's exactly such a #disruption the fascists want to provoke in other situations: The moment we are stunned, we no longer act. When a red line is dropped, the next, more serious, breach follows.

"You need a vision bigger than you've been told is possible!"  - Kat Abughazaleh 

That's her phrase, not mine! She's 26-year-old Kat bAbughazaleh, and she's running for Congress. In the middle of her announcement video, she stated: "You need a vision bigger than you've been told is possible!"
I'm always a sucker for a good inspirational phrase - and I can also spot the nascent signs of what might be a major trend early on. This might be one of those moments.

Look, I swear to god I'm not working to turn my daily post into a political journal, but the timing of this video yesterday was just too perfect in light of my post earlier that day about the need for the system to get 'youthanized.'

So what's this post about? It's about what might happen when the social media/influencer generation gets aggressively involved in politics. Later in the video, she said this: “I say it’s time to drop the excuses and grow a fucking spine," And then, "We're focused on meeting constituent needs with one simple rule: What if we didn't suck?"

Talk about message clarity!

Watch the video for yourself, and try and tell me that this might not be the early sign of something happening in US politics right now.

And since US politics has a huge impact on whether the future unfolds or not, well, it's in the territory of this daily post. Yesterday, I was listening to The Daily podcast from the New York Times, and one political expert said that the Democrats might be having their own Tea Party moment, what with the anger at aging politicians and all. Maybe this was the moment stuff was thrown in the harbor.

The video is blowing up on social media right now - and no wonder. What we might be seeing right now is the first of a sudden groundswell of today's 20 and 30-year-olds launching themselves into a system that has become geriatric by design

""It’s the unknown unknowns that will get you every time!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

On February 12, 2002, United States Secretary of Defence Donald Rumsfeld answered a question at a U.S. Department of Defence (DoD) news briefing about the lack of evidence linking the government of Iraq with the supply of weapons of mass destruction to terrorist groups. His answer has since answered the lexicon of lore, as many people thought that it was fully intended to shield the department from any sort of criticism.

"Reports that say that something hasn't happened are always interesting to me, because as we know, there are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns—the ones we don't know we don't know. And if one looks throughout the history of our country and other free countries, it is the latter category that tends to be the difficult ones."

His answer, though, was based on what is known as the "Awareness-understanding matrix", which provides that there are known knowns, known unknowns, unknown knows, and unknown unknowns. Complicated but helpful - when you study it, it makes sense. Things we are aware of and understand; things we are aware of but don't understand; things we are not aware of but understand or know implicitly; and then, the things we are neither aware of nor understand.

In that context, later this morning I'll speak to a room full of insurance CEOs and other senior executives from the industry at a major insurance conference. To get ready for the event, I grabbed about 1,500 articles about the latest trends impacting the insurance industry and used Google Notebook to analyze these articles for key bits of insight.

I will be speaking, among many other issues, about the future of insurance risk, and in that context, will impress upon them that it's the "unknown unknowns" they should worry about - the things they are neither aware of nor understand.

What are those unknown unknowns? In a brief moment of inspiration, I fed it this prompt, in effect asking the AI to analyze these 1500 articles and summarize them.

This is what it came back with, which I worked into my slide deck:

"The insurance industry is caught in a whirlwind: climate volatility, liability inflation, data chaos, talent scarcity, and relentless regulatory pressures, all while battling public mistrust and the nagging fear that tomorrow's risks are growing faster than our capacity to cover them”

That pretty much summarizes my slide deck!

Futurist Jim Carroll has spoken at over 200 insurance and risk-related events throughout the years.
