Comment on Disintermediation and Selectorate Theory by Taylor Pearson

Re: “The problem is that internet model eschews settlements; it supports bill and keep. It doesn’t have a settlement mechanism whose price signals serve as incentives and disincentives between actors. The next stage is one of equilibrism whereby competitive, market-driven (not regulated) settlement systems balance the value capture at the core with the cost at the edge, while still maintaining an incentive based system that is generative and self-sustaining.”

Comment on Disintermediation Theory: 5 Reasons People Keep Taking Advantage of You (and How to Stop Them) by Michael Elling

Digital network effects have only increased the rate of value capture at the core which is geometric (intermediation). The costs borne at the edge are mostly uniform (linear) and benefit from moore’s law. So at the surface everything appears ok, but the system imbalance is growing. Digital and wealth divides are growing, not declining. The overall trend in performance, experience and availability that the value owners point to is up (in part because of regulations that retarded digital networ...

Comment on How to Get Lucky: Focus On The Fat Tails by Tom Stevens

Great article, Taylor. The Pareto principle is something I am very familiar with and I heard about the fat tail application, though it is not something that I am thinking through and applying in business applications; it is definitely on the list now! Thanks

Comment on My Favorite Heuristic for Evaluating Relationships: The Antifragile Person by disqus_RGoM3LhmM4

the problem is that for some people criticizing others is the sole goal in life and they derive some sick pleasure out of it, mostly to compensate for their own insecurities and flaws..
So the intention of the criticizing person is also very important, actually most important: does he want to help you by pointing at things you’re doing wrong or he just wants to hurt you to pleasure himself?
that’s why for me personally the rule is only criticize people you know well and care about, do not tel...

Comment on How to Discover Your Values and Use Them to Make Better Decisions by Taylor Pearson

Hey Rich,

The study was referenced by Csikszentmihalyi in his book Good Work: http://amzn.to/2sqxkpR

I have not heard of that peak experiences exercise, I’ll give it a shot.

Comment on How to Discover Your Values and Use Them to Make Better Decisions by Rich

Great Taylor, thanks!

Is that happiness study by Csikszentmihalyi online anywhere, or a longer discussion of it?

Another cool exercise is to find the key factors involved in your own personal “peak experiences”. You list your past peak experiences – both acute and prolonged – then reflect on the attitudes/choices/behaviors that contributed to or preceded them.

Like the values exercise, it turns up clues that can inform day to day decisions and actions.

Cheers.
