  • The Black Swan Effect

    The Black Swan effect refers to rare, unexpected events that have huge impacts, and only seem obvious in hindsight. It’s like the butterfly effect; small or unpredictable triggers lead to dramatic, far-reaching consequences.

    In short, it explains how humans underestimate the likelihood of extreme situations, but rely heavily on past data.

    Important attributes include unpredictability; nothing in the past clearly points defined the future.

    It concludes to really big consequences; PESTLE (as learned in my MSc: Political, Economic, Social, Technological, Legal and Environmental) or cultural. It’s only afterwards when it becomes obvious and should have been expected.

    Black Swanevents can instantly transform entire industries, markets, technologies, and even society itself.

  • Rebuilt

    A common symptom of a brain injury, is loss of memory. With this, you loose your identity. So, to find my baseline identity, I call it my “essence”, I have a method to alleviate this:

    If you (or I) were to choose ONE item to signify/resemble my identity, what would it be?

    This can be something you already own, or something you could buy.

    It does take some effort to know yourself that well…

    I’ll give you an example:

    Mine would be the high heel shooe

    Objectively, it oozes fermenting (whether a man or a woman wearing it). It looks good on any outfit.

    Subjectivity, it makes me feel more confident, sexy, powerful, committed to achieve this wanted skill, attention grabbing (sadly, I’m learning at present, so bad attention in fear I’ll fall).

    So after much training, I’m actually rather good at walking (gym treadmill = 1km L3) so now for the next “step”….

    The heels

  • Identity… product

    An issue of brain injury, is loss of identity in.

    It’s probably commonly known that a loss of memory occurs (as seen in the films#memento), but how is identity actually made? From memories…,

    So when you forget who you are, a way to cope with it, is to choose a 3D product (like something you already have or can buy) where you can look at it.

    Then, it’ll inspire attributes from your identity, which you can identify as something you chose.

    If you do, or don’t have a TBI, it’s a difficult one, give it a go….

    I know mine….

  • High heels

    After several years of personal training, I can FINALLY walk. Always one to exceed expectations, I passed on all this hard work, recovering from a brain injury and learning to walk again. To deliver this information about how I did it, I performed a speech…. In high heels (see below).

    There was parts about when enduring this condition, you have a loss of identity. This is unfortunate because your identity is made up of memories.

    Few people can choose a product that describes their identity. But I could….. high heels.

    Both aesthetic reasons, and psychological ones too. They change your figure, push your shoulders back so enhances your figure, and they’re a great complement to most outfits. But psychologically;

    They attract attention, confidence, make me feel sexy and dominant and powerful.

    For most of human history, there has been a power shift: men have a better pay while women are “home makers”.

    With equal pay introduced, more flat shoes have been worn. I call for a switch-a-rol. Women to be the dominant sex, through heels.

  • Where are my shoes?

    So I can remember that I had some brilliant shoes in my past life , but I can’t find them. They’re there ones;

    & James Bonds curious case of “where are my shoes?” sounds like sounds something Carry Bradshaw would be interested in.

  • James Jean for Prada

    I don’t know how, but I remembered this collaboration & I got some pieces. It must have made a big impression on me; remembering it’s existence, the articles name & that I owned a pieces from the collection.
