Worship neither tradition nor technology's sparkle. Both are valuable beyond measure, but each alone will blind you and rob you of your purpose and potential.
?
Tradition brings the invaluable experience of a thousand thousand lifetimes–?lived minute by intimate minute, hour by passing hour, year by precious and lingering year, across centuries and millennia far and near.
?
Today's new technology brings knowledge and perspective that our ancestors and predecessors never had. These sparkling things allow us to see connections and relationships, powers and drivers, reasons and excuses, mechanics and chemistry and physics of a nature divine.
?
We cannot blindly follow the path of either tradition nor new technology without question, without scrutiny, without discussion, debate, and argument. Doing so is begging to suffer predictable dooms that will cause survivors to look back on with somber sadness.

Our power and our responsibility lie in the simultaneous possession of tradition's wisdom, our ability to reflect on its limitations from a distance, new technology and ideas to try and apply to solve them, and the beautiful opportunity to combine them all. It is on us to create a better world that the next generations can keep improving to get humanity closer to a perfect world.?

Worship neither tradition nor technology's sparkle, find ways to combine them together to improve us all.

1 年Agreed, the way I discuss this with my clients is that we need to do the basics right, there is a lot of “Shiny bling” that doesn’t do anything to help with the basics. Worship also I see a lot, Clients swap out tool A for tool B because the incoming leader “has always used” a particular toolset. This creates a huge cost for probably no benefit to the business and unfortunately happens far too much. Use what you have first and do the basics well….
