I didn’t have a name or this logic for it, but this is very aligned with our mission in our retail gallery. Perhaps I need to adjust above the fold content on our home page. Hmmm. I will read this again!
Thank you for blowing my mind before 7am. This framework of cultural vacuums and potency gives us dots to connect to everything we do. We can now ask ourselves, “does this add to an age of potency or detract?” It’s overall an identity “crisis” as a collective, but in my opinion, the best experiences emerge from those. 😊
I wish I could read the "report" without having to zoom in on illegible text in a rigid murky slideshow which looks to be a series of bullet points. Can I just get a version with legible words or better yet a version that can just be read to me like other Substack posts?
I really question how limiting user research has become when it comes to digital product building. Before the background of Potency, it all feels so myopic. I really think that many people's why and value proposition for building a product or brand would look very different if they better tuned into the signals around work, trust and time.
I believe strongly that the greatest threat of our time isn't AI, the climate situation, the economy, or politics. The real threat is the singular thing driving our inability to face all those challenges: Perilous Nostalgia. The gerontocracy is infected with it! But it also shows up as the accidental repetition of the past because it is familiar. Thank you for putting the challenges into words and also tuning us toward the greatest opportunity we have: to design the future and to evolve toward it.
Your articles not only show a unique and incisive relatioinship with branding similar the the symbiosis of a virtuoso musician witgh their instrument. Not only is each one a masterclass on the subject, they are also expert analyses of the philosophical complications facing us today and intelligent ways of dealing with them. The icing (Sorry, frosting. I'm Australian) on the cake is that they are a joy to read simply for your writing style: fluid, laconic, precise.

I love the way you framed that!

Can you explain what you mean a little bit more by calling work, trust, and time vacuums? Why did they become vacuums?

Grateful as always for reading your posts.
