🎧💥 NEW EPISODE — Redefining Society & Technology Podcast

Why Humanity’s Software Needs an Update in Our Hybrid World — Before the Tech Outpaces Us | with guest Jeremy Lasman ✦

We upgrade our phones, our laptops, even our to-do apps — but what about ourselves?

In this episode, I sit down with Jeremy Lasman — former SpaceX technologist turned imagination-driven inventor — to ask a deceptively simple question: Are we running outdated software in our minds while racing into a hyperconnected, AI-augmented world?
We talk about passion as the fuel of human evolution, why fear-based systems no longer serve us, and how #imagination might be the most powerful technology we’ve been ignoring.

If you’ve ever felt like the world is moving faster than you can think — this conversation is your pause-and-reboot moment.

En #hypotes som hjälper mig mycket är:

- Det enda konstanta är förändring eller digitalt - binärt - kodat!

Jag har användt det några år nu, och hypotesen har positivt bidragit till att 🥰 förändring på sätt som före istället ledde till så mycket dåligt och jobbigt.

För mig blev det en av nycklarna, kanske huvudnyckeln, till att lyckas hitta till ett #GrowthMindset - ett lärande och växande tankesätt som är nyfiket om utforska möjligheter, inkluderat att förutsättningar hela tiden kan ändras.

Intelligence in Context: A Context-specific Mindset Measure Better Predicts Outcomes for Science and Math Undergraduates

CBE—Life Sciences EducationIntelligence in Context: A Context-specific Mindset Measure Better Predicts Outcomes for Science and Math Undergraduates | CBE—Life Sciences EducationMindset (beliefs about the malleability of intelligence) has been studied in a variety of contexts for decades. Recent research highlights the importance of contextual factors in moderating mindset's impact on student outcomes. The commonly-used original mindset measure is context-general. Recently, a mindset measure that is specific to science and math undergraduates was developed: the Undergraduate Lay Theories of Abilities (ULTrA) Survey. I hypothesized that a context-specific measure of mindset would associate more strongly with undergraduates’ outcomes than a context-general measure. I surveyed 1537 undergraduates with Dweck's 3-item original mindset measure, ULTrA, and measures of outcomes (sense of belonging, goal orientation, self-handicapping, evaluative concern and intent to persist in science) and collected course grades. Structural equation modeling indicated that the fixed factor of the ULTrA exhibited stronger and more consistent relationships with outcomes than the 3-item original mindset measure and predicted unique variance in outcomes above and beyond what the original mindset measure accounted for. The academic outcomes (intent to persist and course grade) were significantly related to ULTrA, but not the original mindset measure. Our results provide evidence that the context-specific ULTrA survey can detect relationships with undergraduate outcomes that the context-general original mindset measure can fail to detect.

'The "growth mindset" is Microsoft's cult — a vaguely-defined, scientifically-questionable, abusively-wielded workplace culture monstrosity, peddled by a Chief Executive obsessed with framing himself as a messianic figure with divine knowledge of how businesses should work.'

'The book is centered around the theme of redemption, with the subtitle mentioning a “quest to rediscover Microsoft’s soul.” […] The dark age — Steve “Developers” Balmer’s Microsoft, with Microsoft stagnant and missing winnable opportunities, like mobile — contrasted against this brave, bright new era where a nearly-assertive Redmond pushes frontiers in places like AI.'

'Like any cult, it encourages the person to internalize their failures and externalize their successes.'

When a growth mindset environment emerges, “equality happens”.

Carol Dweck tells a story of a Chicago high school that distributed “Not Yet” grades instead of failing grades.
Carol Dweck relates the power of “yet”: When students see the word "yet", they build confidence to continue and persist with their learning, making mistakes and working from them.
Here is the TED talk by Carol Dweck on "the power of believing that you can improve": ted.com/talks/carol_dweck_the_

"In fact, the big theme of Microsoft's "Growth Mindset" appears to be "learn everything you can, say yes to everything, then give credit to somebody else." While this may in theory sound positive — a selflessness that benefits the greater whole — it inevitably, based on conversations with Microsoft employees, leads to managerial abuse.

Managers, from the conversations I've had with Microsoft employees, are the archons of the Growth Mindset — the ones that declare you are displaying a fixed mindset for saying no to a task or a deadline, and frame "Growth Mindset" contributions as core to their success. Microsoft's Growth Mindset training materials continually reference "seeing feedback as more fair, specific and helpful," and "persisting in the face of setbacks," framing criticism as an opportunity to grow.

Again, this wouldn't be a problem if it wasn't so deeply embedded in Microsoft's culture. If you search for the term “Growth Mindset” on the Microsoft subreddit, you’ll find countless posts from people who have applied for jobs and internships asking for interview advice, and being told to demonstrate they have a growth mindset to the interviewer. Those who drink the Kool Aid in advance are, it seems, at an advantage."
