Dealing with a difficult person or legal situation? Explore the #psychology of the people involved. Make records around points 1, 2 and 3. Exploring points 4, 5 and 6 may turn on a lightbulb. That's been my experience for decades.

Hikmet Hajiyev brought diplomats to an Armenian monastery he called “Albanian," then showed a blank volume as "proof" that Armenian history is falsified. The diplomats looked on and giggled.
It's not just undiplomatic, it's embarrassing. AZ's claims have been widely debunked.

The attitudinal shift regarding megacorp/gov infotech is growing… Power is increasingly locked up, with billion/trillionaires at the centre. Mobiles and other digital devices are the jail keys. Review and secure your personal and social life raft.

🔥 Commissioner Bell brutally shuts down Borsky KC after he flares up at the mention of ICJ’s “plausible genocide” findings in Gaza, accusing JCA’s legal counsel Edwards SC of “false” evidence.🤔
Bell fires back, schools Borsky on facts of ICJ, forces him to fold. Total madness.

More than ever, I question commonplace claims of adherence to values. What I've witnessed over six years, and what I've learned from over 100 books, alerts me to what lies ahead before 2030. For you too, this framework may serve as a rudder through this era of turbulent change.

If you work in business, fundraising, production or professional services, this is a way to see that the choice of an early deal-making document shapes how a deal to take form.

Anglophone cultural history | My music collection of 14,000 pieces has a concentration from 1962 to 1972. As one slice of those years, below is a table listing the release years of studio albums from 1962 to 2023 by Bob Dylan, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and Pink Floyd.
I prompted AI to translate into an image what I've verbally asked for decades: "Imagine if war planes dropped books, not bombs, over the Middle East. What impact would that have had on the people below?"
What are the costs of the war of aggression against Iran? US$25 B? US$50 B?

The takeaway for me, as a business innovation lawyer who has worked with wine makers & retailers, is that certain innovations suit certain cultural contexts.
Best reference I suggest is my favourite book: Hall, Peter (1998) Cities in Civilization. Weidenfeld & Nicolson. 1169 pp.
