Practical World History

Change happens gradually, then suddenly. Let’s be prepared for it. The first step is to understand its history and moral geography.

History doesn’t repeat itself but it often rhymes. Keeping these period of history in mind will help you explore contemporary trends with greater clarity. This course is designed to help -

  1. Participants understand the key ideologies and events that have shaped change in the last 500 years.

  2. Frameworks and mental models on power and decision making that can you a better leader today.

  3. Insights on the rhythms and cycles of history that might help you navigate an ambitious future.

💌 Twitter's blue tick dilemma and ethics of business strategy - That said, a more philosophical question should be explored. Is free speech truly free if it comes with a price tag? Pragmatics will argue that it is an opt-in feature and that Twitter needs to make money. Idealists would suggest that it unfairly discriminates those who cannot pay but you should evaluate what percentage of those with blue ticks will struggle to pay $8/month. Those who cannot pay but want the blue tick should ask themselves why.

💌 Coinbase: Mission-First or Antipolitical? - Rebels can make the workplace richer with diversity of views and convictions. But is there a point at which activism goes awry? Should CEOs negotiate with activists within or just let them go? Should companies who operate at the intersection of public, policy and technology shut their eyes to political truths?

💌 Desperately Seeking Shah Rukh - In his David Letterman interview, Shah Rukh Khan had mentioned (and we have paraphrased) ‘I’m an employee of the myth of Shah Rukh Khan’. But instead of trying to deconstruct the myth and legend of Shah Rukh, we will direct you towards our community member Shrayana’s love letter to him. Today, as we celebrate him, take a moment to watch her masterclass on Desperately Seeking Shah Rukh. Take a look.

Have a wonderful week ahead. — Your Network Capital Team
