HIRED TO BE FIRED

We’re going through a deep crisis of leadership. — Nowhere is the current crisis of leadership more exposed than in the tech industry. In the last 12 months, over 120,000 people have lost their jobs in tech companies. But this systematic gutting of the American workforce makes no sense. Statistics support the opposite. Firing workers does little for a…

Memorial Day

Sacrifice. That’s what this day is about. Memorial Day. Flags and parades and statues and wreaths. The wars in my life were of a different sort. Vietnam. Iraq. Afghanistan. I…

Where does music begin?

In the AI era it’s an important question. Where does music begin? It’s always the same place. In my head. Since I was a kid I’ve walked around with music in my head. I’d go on long walks through London composing dramatic symphonies. It was one of my favorite things to do. I played imaginary games, always accompanied…

Who Are You?

Sometimes the hardest choice is to be yourself. Looking back on your path. You could be anything. Every choice you make there were dozens of other choices to make. I’ve made some weird choices. Good and bad. In my life, I could have been a lighting designer. I loved that job. I could have been an ad executive…

Mother’s Day

I miss my mother. She was strong, fierce, and loving. Her love for her children was unconditional. She and my father traveled into some tough places and conquered the world with love. I’m thinking of the township Soweto, at the height of the dangerous apartheid regime. I saw a photo…

Michael Jackson Dies on the Subway

Why is Jordan Neely dead? — During a lifetime of riding NYC subways, I’ve seen and experienced all sorts of shit. I’m talking the 60s, 70s, 80s. People who say the city is worse than ever never lived here in the 70s or 60s. You learn to ignore it, avoid it, move away from it. It’s…

Is Decentralized Autonomous Organization the future of work?

Introduction “You never change anything by challenging existing reality,” Buckminster Fuller once wrote. “To change something, build a new model that makes the old model obsolete.” One of the ‘new models’ emerging from Web3 is the rise of the Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO).

Writer’s Strike!

Support your fellow creative workers. ‘Support independent artists, journalists & websites. Subscribe to a Patreon or Substack. Buy the record off Bandcamp. Go to a small club show and cop the merch. The only way out is to help your favorites directly, because these major corporations only want collusion and monopoly.’ I read that on…
