I’ve been following 🔗 Umair for years - but - only 10 references to him on this blog ( ( I just counted). I think partly because he sometimes seems do be so out there and partly because he desperately needs a good editor - because he can go on … and on … and on …
Still - when you look at some of his old stuff that was ‘out there’ then .. and you look at today - maybe he isn’t as weird as he sometimes reads. So I commend you to today’s offering ….

🔗 Real Agency - Doc Searls
"I don’t nominate agentic, which is suddenly hot shit"
… or just shit. (for now). I get the promise - but all we are really seeing is a demo. HIs argument is ‘agency’ as word of the year - not agentic … why the distinction?
"See, agency is a noun, and agentic is an adjective."
But that isn’t really the trust of his main argument.
Go read the whole thing.

Her shopping bag broke sending eggs and flour crashing
Down to the ground, just like star clusters smashing
But no one will give her a glance
They just shuffle on home in a trance
The tiniest lives fill their hives up with worry
To make it to church, well, she needs to hurry
