What Big Data Says About Psychedelics

Interesting article.  Mind-altering substances, medical treatments, and big data.

Scientists are aiming artificial intelligence at the puzzle that is our brains.

Summary:

• Research using natural-language processing tools in machine learning is helping us understand conscious awareness and how drugs alter it.
• Mental health conditions may be the price we humans pay for the huge evolutionary advantage of having a default mode network.
• Psychedelics may work by lifting the filters of sensory input essential to DMN processes.

The default mode network - 

Walt's Weekly Word, Week 9, June 10

PLayboy, Tigerpaw, More Vinyl than Downloads, Buying Less Crap, & Shrinkage

Walt's Spin

This week there's, even more, #WorkFromAnywhere content, the first DOTPE Leadership Influencer, #Tigerpaw, is revealed, we're all buying less crap, and TikTok is full of back-to-office mockery.

"Walmart, Amazon, Home Depot, Best Buy and most every other retailer are having their own mismatch of supply and demand..."

Speaking of selling, we all hate cold calls. Don't lie, you do. The worst thing about cold calls isn't the dialing, it's WASTEFUL dialing. There is a better way, it 'costs' more, shrinks lists from 10,000 to 500, and increases pick-up rates to as high as 90%+. 

Nobody is saying 'Cold calling is Dead...' there are just better ways.

"So unless you have some physical item, what's in it for the customer to meet in person on an initial meeting?"

“Why Tigerpaw One is the Leading Influencer, Infrastructure” Greg Walters, the DOTC Office Technology Partnership Ecosystem

The Infrastructure Influence includes ECi, Forza, and Tigerpaw One.

The grading system is simple: What Influencer would I recommend to a client building or changing an existing program. The client could be a provider or the ultimate consumer.

I’ve evaluated hundreds of components and teams over the decades assembling tech solutions that help reduce costs, increase sales, or eliminate inefficiencies. Through this lens of experience, I evaluate each Influencer over approximately 20 data points.

There are no losers. Just being an Influencer in the DOTPE is an accomplishment.

Thoughts of the Day: Webinars, Meta, Alphabet, Websites, Rush, E*Com, Hybrid is a Caste

I originally posted on LinkedIN:

Thoughts of the day:

• Webinars are dying, stop doing them...
• Facebook/Meta is on the trail of AoL
• Google/Alphabet is the next AskJeeves
• Fancy, expensive websites are on the other side of the bell curve
• Livestreaming is the best thing to happen to radio since Rush
• EComm's uniqueness is fading; any high school student can stand up your "online ordering page"
• Hybrid work is worse than either full-plantation or full-remote

Great response and queries from Brian Ruiz:

What is the World's Safest Output Device, in the World.

Security is a big, big issue. Connected assets can be open to all sorts of 'StuxNet' type threats.

IT ignores printers. They are more pain to manage than end-users; two asset types IT would rather not deal with.

With this in mind, what is the most secure copier or printer?

The one you never purchase.

Walt's Weekly Words: Week 8, June 3 The #Xerox Email Heard Around the World

Personal note.

This is the 8th iteration of WWW and thanks to an interesting two months, this little experiment is catching on. It's simple really, what interests me might interest you and the interwebs are flooded with so much content sifting through to relevant and engaging content is daunting.

I'll continue to filter and comment for a few more weeks and see what the future reveals. In the meantime, if you like the content, comment, and forward along. If you're not a subscriber, go ahead and sign up.

I'm not sure where this will end up, but I'm having a good time so far.

Cheers!

This week, Elon gives us the middle digit. The #WFA movement continues, evolving into a status-quo. Both sides are presenting their arguments but fewer office workers is a reality.
