 This is a really brief overview of this whole project mixing prezzies and YouTube videos and some blog posts and a few other things. So the overall picture as I see it right now looks roughly like this. The yellow circle on the left, the brighter yellow circle, is the prezzy that I'm currently working on and I'm currently publishing. It's all about consumerization. How did we get there? What does it mean? The fact that the language of advertising is the language of war that we're really in the middle of a stalker economy or surveillance capitalism. It's unfortunately a bunch of bad news but I'm I'm trying to make the point that consumerization isn't just about consumer goods but that we've consumerized everything in our lives and there's a bunch of things that are around this. That will then later connect to a whole thesis about the relationship economy. How not only have we consumerized everything but there are solutions everywhere for each sector that tie back to the principles of the relationship economy. That we used to be wise. That we're busy missing invisible value. All sorts of things. It will turn into some workshops and exercises on the right called Roots of Innovation and Building a Economy. The general thesis here is down on the left there. What if we trusted you? There will be a lot of work on trust because trust is really pivotal to this idea. Things like design from trust becoming a trusted ally and all of this turns into advice suggestions for companies like what to do. So all of this is part of the relationship economy. A map. How to work it and then structurally there are four layers here. There will be some essays in medium that will look a lot like blog posts. Medium is a beautiful publishing vehicle for this. There will be a bunch of videos on YouTube each of which is independent. So hopefully three to maximum seven or eight minutes. Any of which might be forwarded or whatever but all of which link back to these prezzies to the larger set of issues. The videos are then put into the prezzies so that when you go and play the prezzie you're playing the videos in sequence and in essence you're playing a mini documentary. And then behind everything is my brain. A piece of software called The Brain. I've been publishing my brain for a very long time. Been using it for 18 and a half years. So all the topics, the videos, the points of view, the editorials, the articles, all the books that these ideas are based on are all in my brain. Each nugget is freestanding. They're all woven in context. And I'm working here off of lots of great inspirations like Hank and John Green, The Vlogbrothers by Hart, the mathematician who does such great videos. Lawrence Lessig who does sort of one word speeches that are fantastic. C.G.P. Gray, Samantha Bee, The Young Turks, the RSA's Illustrated Speeches. These are all really my motivations. But this is an experiment in four layers. But really I'm interested in this whole picture and how do we play it out? How do we make a rich experience of exploring these ideas? Don't know if it's gonna work. Let me know what you think. Subscribe if you like this. And let's talk.
