“thought leaders: leading with thoughts.”

“thought leaders: leading with thoughts.”

merlin mann is a presentation genius and all around excellent guy to learn from. it amazes me that his pitch in this video is the same one i’ve seen (but in earnest) dozens of times at conferences.

i need to get better at my own presentation style. following matt webb and merlin recently has really prodded me to develop a more eclectic style that allows what i’m trying to communicate to get out there while also being a little different from the pack.

or something like that.

Light Cone RSS

“From the moment of my birth, light [that I could have influenced] has been expanding around the Earth and light [which could influence me, from an increasing distance of origin] reaching it – this ever-growing sphere of potential causality is my light cone. Today… My light cone contains 46 stars. HR4523 will be reached in in 4 weeks.

(Data taken from the utterly excellent An Atlas of the Universe, which has maps from the solar system out to the the Local Group and beyond. There’s a lovely 3d map of stars within 50 light years, the data from which is used here. If you have data for beyond 50 light years, please let me know and I’ll add it – until then it’ll only work for people born after 1954.)”

THE TIME GUARDIANS

THE TIME GUARDIANS

THE TIME GUARDIANS

In the ages of the ancient advanced civilizations the presence of the Guardians of Time was recognized with respect, reverence and humility. Over the millennia a new mystery was formed and only a few chosen ones, like high priests, spiritual masters and shamans were granted to study it. They were the ones that got a deeper insight in the secret of THE TIME GUARDIANS. The beings were referred to as visitors from other systems, protectors or destroyers and even gods.
