Keita no Creating Passionate Users rok dziļi un ļoti, ļoti par tēmu:

"Moore's law for the brain doesn't quite work. We're evolving much, much, much too slowly... Brain 2.0 isn't coming anytime soon. And we're all feeling the enormous weight of not being able to keep up. We can't keep up with work. We can't keep up with our social life. We can't keep up with the industry, our hobbies, our families. We can't keep up with current events. We'll never read a fraction of those books on our list. And we are hurting.

Worst of all, this onslaught is keeping us from doing the one thing that makes most of us the happiest... being in flow. Flow requires a depth of thinking and a focus of attention that all that context-switching prevents. Flow requires a challenging use of our knowledge and skills, and that's quite different from mindless tasks we can multitask (eating and watching tv, etc.) Flow means we need a certain amount of time to load our knowledge and skills into our brain RAM. And the more big or small interruptions we have, the less likely we are to ever get there.

And not only are we stopping ourselves from ever getting in flow, we're stopping ourselves from ever getting really good at something. From becoming experts."

Paklausījos jauno Šnurova veikumu ar nosaukumu Babje Ljeto - kaut kā man šķiet, ka Šnurovs vairs nekādi nespēj atgūt to sākotnējo vitalitāti un svaigumu, tagad it kā viņš vairāk velk hipī-hopija virzienā (it kā), taču daru to pa savam, kā rezultātā tas vairs nav Ļeņingrad, bet nav arī kārtīgs hipī-hopijs. Rather weak shit.

Taču viena dziesma ir absolūti burvīga - saucas V vodu. Klausieties un līksmojiet.
