    1. and if you already study Content Strategy: You just recapitulated a lecture you already heard - good for you!

      Kudos for imagining o possible communicative scenarios! Very well done.

    2. back

      That's coll invitation for time travelling. We might also say - set your clock back. A millennium or two , to keep the conversational style and the humorous tinge.

    3. Let’s talk about business. Have you ever asked yourself “Why the hack are they so damn successful?!” Here’s the answer: Cause they got a great strategy - and are even better at executing. Oh, wait, let me just add this by the way: Strategy is dead. But without a strategy no business will be successful.

      I very much like the idea of presenting the topic through the tension of two people (or two parts of the brain :)) talking to each other and thinking. I sense a story behind that. Maybe telling the story about how both of you collaboratively wrote this and perhaps had disagreements will give yet another cool flavor of the post. p.s. another thing: 1. heck 2.

    1. Words can be ambiguous.

      This ambiguity (and the surprising precision with which we very often manage to communicate our thoughts despite some barriers) is what keeps me up at night too. There's something lingering in my mind, I want to share: in Ancient Greek a word that meant deep, also meant high (think of it from the perspective of the ocean and being XXX meters deep [high :)])

    2. Digital is on or off, black or white, and zero or one.

      Unless it is quantum and there is a super position. It is this and that at the same time. Language and its meanders, now that I am rereading your article, Gideon, very much resemble this crazy (idea) that everything is everything.
