Good one Tom! I've been thinking lately about the pros and cons of AI. A big problem with it is that it can only look to the past to make projections or recommendations. But humans constantly seek out the new and different, we crave change, and we dream up ways of enabling it! Not just regurgitated versions of what we've already seen and heard. That's the hidden weakness of both extensive planning and of AI as it applies to our most creative endeavors. The same inherent weakness applies to research and to polling, which we pay far too much attention to. And our world becomes visually and audibly more bland with every passing year that AI is involved in "content creation."
That’s a misconception about Scotland, land of hearts desire. The clouds are down in England. No rain either. Just scotch mist. Brigadoon is a great spot to get away from things.
Inspiring words Tom. Thank you. Dr. Wayne Dyer said something similar on this subject. He said, “Get on purpose, get off outcome.” You share the why and how…
"Or you can sit alone on a bench and ride out your time. Or spend all of your time on one game that you don’t really like, trying to accumulate more tickets and prizes than everyone else. It’s a choice and it’s your choice, no one else’s." This is it! The secret, Our opportunity . As you pointed out we have a choice. "If we have courage" said the Lion.

I had a successful building planning company for over 20 years and couldn’t agree with you more.
Tom, you always have the right way of saying everything.
“That’s who you are” is brilliant! True, access to data is so easy now, but it shouldn’t stifle our creativity… Life is a risk, so embrace it. GD

This makes me want to re-read I Am Keats, Tom.

Thanks, Tom. I did a blog about "wishing" this month and it seems to relate a bit to your thesis. You can read it here if interested: https://www.katyoberlecreative.com/blog/wishing
Fascinating thesis, Tom. I'm impressed and looking forward to the book!
Beautiful indeed, Michael. ❤️
How did it feel, Joyce? And what did you learn? :)
Thank you, Katy. I’ll check it out!
I love that you have a renewed passion. I’ve just gone back to playing rock and roll at 72. What joy!
