What a read. The content is really tough and infuriating stuff.

While I haven't yet read the book, the approach reminds me of Six Thinking Hats bookwyrm.social/book/89972/s/six-thinking-hats

It's such an infuriating read. Again an again neo liberalism patterns are applied leading to pain and suffering and to a few getting richer

It cause #MilitantDecency (referencing #TerryPratchett)

"Thematically speaking, the most important thing Terry Pratchett taught me was the concept of militant decency. The idea that you can look at the world and its flaws and its injustices and its cruelties and get deeply, intensely angry, and that you can turn that into energy for doing the right thing and making the world a better place. He taught me that the anger itself is not the part I should be fighting. Nobody in my life ever said that before."

Disclaimer: i read it ages ago

I think the central ideas of the book is good and very useful for working with other people. The 6 thinking hats structures different perspectives and the technique is a good approach to value and utilize different opinions and to channel resistance productively.

That the good stuff. I found the writing style very annoying. The book is full of repeating examples and self praise were Edward de Bono tells again and again how he solved a problem by applying this method.

I remember thing "this book should have been 16 pages not 160" during reading it.

I read it done time ago but I'm still thinking about this book.

It describes psychological and economic mechanisms which keep people locked in a poverty cycle. I wasn't aware of that and am guessing a lot of things differently

Highly recommended red

A nice introduction to the #Discworl for kids.

I initial planned to read it to my daughter but had to switch to the German version bookwyrm.social/book/93674/s/maurice-der-kater

Ich lese das Buch gerade meiner 9-jährigen Tochter vor und wir habe riesen Spaß. Terry Pratchett adaptiert eine ganze Anzahl von Märchen und fügt seinen Humor und seine Sozialkritik kindgerecht hinzu.

Das einzige Problem ist, dass ich nie aufhören darf vorzulesen :-)

Another takeaway "In the old [note] system the question is: Under which topic do I store this note? In the new system, the question is: In which context will I want to stumble upon it again?"

Sounds really intriguing for an #InfoSec person :-)

Just learned that the US government awarded military contacts as cost+ contact. Meaning the private firms are paid the costs plus a guaranteed profit percentage. 🤯😱🤦🏻‍♂️

Interesting read on where privatisation isn't working. Surprise surprise, is utilities (including education, healthcare, security and policy)

@advait@bookclub.techstartups.space Regarding the practical use of #Zettelkasten there is a #learnOS path for it.

I can't tell how good it is at I'm just working through it

I just realised, there is a German version of this book called "Das Zettelkasten-Prinzip" bookwyrm.social/book/818873/s/das-zettelkasten-prinzip

As the author is German and I'm German as well it feels slightly strange that I'm reading the English edition 🤪
