Linsanity, OWS, and Universal Redemption | Duck! and Gather
https://duckandgather.wordpress.com/2012/02/11/linsanity-ows-and-universal-redemption
Linsanity and OWS: The ‘splainin’. Mitt Romney is a Corporation. Linsanity, OWS, and Universal Redemption. On: February 11, 2012. People vs. corporations. I’m loving the Jeremy Lin story. Been following it closely for the past week. I’m a bit of sports junkie, and had actually heard of Lin before this week. So no surprise I was in on this story from the beginning. Since Wednesday, I’ve been asking my wife: “Heard of Jeremy Lin, yet? Exactly. But it’s more than just about the triumph of the unde...Among t...

Monolithic Hierarchy | Duck! and Gather
https://duckandgather.wordpress.com/2011/11/21/monolithic-hierarchy
The Deadening Effect of Monolithic Hierarchy. On: November 21, 2011. People vs. corporations. In my last post, I introduced the notion of “rigid, monolithic hierarchy” as a way of defining OWS (i.e. what that movement opposes). I figured I ought to spend a few words drilling down on that concept. Accordingly, I start by pruning the term “rigid”. The phrase “rigid monolith” is redundant. All monoliths are rigid. Check out the definition of “monolithic”. Of, relating to, or resembling a monolith. Third, su...

D&G moving to JR. Linsanity, OWS, and Universal Redemption. Linsanity and OWS: The ‘splainin’. On: February 12, 2012. People vs. corporations. In my previous post, I declared that Linsanity and OWS are related, but did a poor job of explaining the relationship. Sports radio, and media generally, are asking the following question: “Why all the intense interest in Linsanity? My answer is that in one week, Linsanity has melted three firmly entrenched assumptions in the NBA:. Asian-Americans can’t play.

D&G moving to JR. On: April 26, 2012. Comments Off on D&G moving to JR. Pending changing my mind, this should be the last post on this blog. Not my last blog on socio-politics. Just the last one that I post on duckandgather.wordpress.com. For the last few years, I’ve been maintaining 3 different blogs: this one; my business one; and a health-related one. From now on, I’m just going to use my business blog — “ Jack’s Ruminations. 8221; — to do all of my blogging. On: February 12, 2012. On #3, I would susp...

Linsanity, OWS, and Universal Redemption. Mitt Romney is a Corporation. On: February 1, 2012. People vs. corporations. I was hiking with a colleague the other day when it hit me: Mitt Romney isn’t just the pro-Corporate candidate for President. Mitt Romney. The singularity has arrived. Just not in the way that folks like Kurzweil and de Grey have been blathering about. No successful ones, that’s for sure. But look at Romney. Bland, devoid of human qualities. Romney’s opponents lob criticisms at...His ...

Cures for the Deadening Effect of Corporate Jobs | Duck! and Gather
https://duckandgather.wordpress.com/2011/11/21/cures-for-the-deadening-effect-of-corporate-jobs
The Deadening Effect of Monolithic Hierarchy. Cures for the Deadening Effect of Corporate Jobs. On: November 21, 2011. In: people vs. corporations. My last post might have seemed like quite a downer. Basic point of it is an observation that, broadly speaking, corporate jobs seem to deaden us over time, reducing our natural capacity for curiosity, learning, growth, and transformation. The first thing we can do is work for a humanizing multi-national corporation. Another thing this company does is to provi...
