McFilter: August 2022 Archives

August 29, 2022

Beatlemania, although it's not really about the Beatles. Informational cascades helped the Beatles become (rightly) massively successful. Reputational cascades prop up so much mediocre or terrible projects in Liverpool. I'm here hoping that my work is high enough quality and that I can surf the right levels of luck and external interest in order to wind up in the first camp.
Britain’s Fastest Self-Powered Human: Mike Burrows. Fantastic article on a super interesting bicycle designer, who sadly died recently.
Practice the future. I love this concept of practising the future. I think it's a large part of what we do at DoES Liverpool.

It’s Our Turn. Thought-provoking read on politics and the North.
The Expanding Job. "In pursuit of growth, we have whittled our systems down to the most lean versions of themselves. In the name of lowering taxes on the rich, we have pushed our public apparatuses to the point of bare functionality. We are living in a moment of untold abundance yet so many have opted to survive on the gristle of human experience."

Regarding your stupid complaint. Excellent corporate comms.
Charter Cities: The Real Reason for Brexit and the Bigger Picture. Peel already have too much influence over Liverpool, I wonder who else is checking the plans for the Liverpool Freeport?
