What even is this? Why does it seem to lead to a paid $2000 course? [0] What is the goal, and who is involved? It seems very high minded and deep on the surface, but what are the expected outcomes and timelines of this, system? [0] https://www.notion.so/HS101-Deluxe-9c92efe621a04d2886e2986ce...

I love notion as a tool but it seems like one of those things people will be crying about in a few years if we continue to put all this valuable information solely in their hands. (yes i know you can export but it doesn't preserve the awesome format they have which is really the point)

Ah yes another shot at the kind of people vulnerable to the "organizations aligning themselves around a detached yet critically objective outsider while enabling them with their expertise and ideas and crediting them with the outcome, no hard skills required, just your own innate passion and curiosity !" fantasy.

It's called a coaching scam

Now we finally have an organizational philosophy centered around listless bureaucrats.

Actually, we already have a lot of those. Highly conservative organizations that ascribe a very low probability of success to any particular effort are common and arise on their own without any coaching required. All it takes is a few failed projects in the professional history of the leaders, whether at that organization or elsewhere. Unless your leadership is full of 20-somethings who have never seen an idea not work out, a far more important problem is avoiding the scenario where nobody wants to takes risks because the benefits go to the company but the failure would be pinned on them.

It's also called "management consulting." An article was on the top of HN the other day where the George Washington University was getting some, and apparently in that case the top decision-makers were treated to Disneyland Resort. What is this group offering compared to that?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I think it's a marketing trend. The emojis seem like a soft universal language to help people who don't speak English grok broken google translations. Hoping to hear the name for this trend as it's a very interesting one indeed. Done well it seems like this is definitely the new wave as we continue to dumb everything down to the lowest common denominator. Done poorly, well I've done this and will just tell you the re…

The language component hasn’t occurred to me, but suddenly makes sense. I once supported a customer for whom Google Translate wasn’t helping much, so we resorted to a combination of screenshots, boxes, arrows, and emojis and it ended well :)

However in most usages, there is no actual language benefit -- I doubt the animal emojis will actually help understanding of this article for any non-english speaker.

In fact, I doubt you could really express anything beyond the simplest concepts with emojis in a language-agnostic fashion.

Actually I'll go a step further: the idea of emoji as a language agnostic writing system is dumb. It's equivalent to pictograms, and like Chinese, will only become useful when you have a massive set of them, and you assign multiple layers of meaning for particular combinations that eventually take you down the path of culture-specific language anyways.

A bit off topic, but is there a name for this trend to put emoji everywhere? I have some trouble to read like that. There is a kind of Madeleine de Proust though, it feel like children book: https://i.pinimg.com/736x/8c/d1/e5/8cd1e583de4c89bf09c4275b2...

This could be the great vowel shift of our era. In 100 years we might have dedicated phonemes for emoji, making a terse language similar to Chinese. Or as smartphones become ubiquitous and children are exposed to these graphemes earlier and earlier, we might skip vocalization altogether and just beam pictograms directly to the visual cortex via AR.

exciting times!
