    It is "the eve of destruction," a 1965 protest song that remains all to relevant & timely in its messages about war and racial injustice.

    A respectable VC just shared a message going around about organized riots in Silicon Valley. He is not sure if this is truly genuine but explains the curfew. Apprently, Stanford Mall and others are boarding up because of coordinated violence threats. This is crazy.

    Barry McGuire - Eve Of Destruction via In 1965 I recall tanks rolled through the L.A. freeways in response to the Watts riots. This protest song, released in 1965, remains all too relevant and prescient--about war & racial injustice.

    I deleted Facebook long ago. Their business model, as Zuboff explained in her fabulous book on surveillance capitalism, relies on stirring up anger and other strong emotions--and ignoring privacy.

    I am proud to announce that as of the end of today, I am no longer a Facebook employee.

    Silicon Valley is more about money than values for the most part--this is just one more illustration of that.

    It was clear a long time ago.

    It is like the 1960s all over again--I am reminded of the song from that time, "The Eve of Destruction." Like Watts, Newark, Detroit, etc. So little progress or change in 50+ years. Truly hearbreaking.

    This breaks my heart. My head asks: Why did these people follow orders from such an incompetent and twisted leader?

    This high-road path has been advocated for decades with much too little traction or uptake.

    Unfortunately many bosses don't care about what is actually feasible or possible.

    Hey bosses, please listen to : "expecting individuals to do their jobs with the same level of concentration and performance is insane." via

    So true, particularly when they are afraid or uncertain--have more meeting and more talk!

    The smart-talk trap & COVID. I am talking a lot to execs and others who work with them, to grasp challenges & give advice. The virtual worlds most execs now work in means, more than in The Before, they use talk as a substitute for action
