Filtered Through Direct Experience
Every reader is important to me. I am thrilled +Jason ON has made the leap because he brings to bear his own direct military experience and the analytical mindset that he's developed because of it.
We are living in times where we need to learn faster from each other. Filtering The Sniper Mind concepts and research through knowledge and experience gained from a military background is the surest way to learn valuable lessons.

Finally picked up something to level that table out.

Shortcuts
We all love shortcuts. Nothing screams for a shortcut more than the labor-intensive skill of thinking differently, the so-called "thinking outside the box". As it happens there is a shortcut to doing just that.
Each of us is unique. We are unique in the way we have become who we are, we are unique in the way we synthesize the matrix of our wants and needs and desires and we are unique in the way we look at the world and see ourselves in it.
We are terrible at articulating that uniqueness in our thinking because we don't articulate our core identity into our thinking. As a result we allow circumstances and the expectations of others to dictate things for us, to determine for us how we think and how we should behave. And we shouldn't.

How Is Your Cat Whispering?
Fancy living on a Greek island and getting paid? Beautiful sunsets, a fantastic sea and ... 55 cats. That's the job, apparently, at the cat sanctuary on the island of Syros.

Thinking About Thinking
If we fail to examine how we do things we fail to examine how things are done. I know it seems obvious. +Sandra Watson's post drives the message home.

Creating content that keeps you safe may also prevent you from being unique!
But where does safe end and unique begin? And, how can content that may be wrong be right?

Interesting Thinking
+Gideon Rosenblatt explores whether machine learning can provide the next evolutionary leap for us, so to speak. Well worth reading through.

Connections
There is an atavistic connection between something as ancient as bread and us. This is homemade, organic Farro (http://bit.ly/2OY3xwO) seed flour, bread with homemade, live yeast. The taste is amazing but there is a different reason I am posting it here.
Our relationship with food changes the way we see the world and affects our awareness of how our body gains resources to do what it has to do. It is not so much the delight we feel eating something that takes over 24 hours to prepare, it is also an awareness of its effects once we eat it.
I am extrapolating here but my guess is that in the past the food caught/killed/grown prepared and consumed formed a continuous matrix of communication between those who consumed it and the world they inhabited it.
This must also have changed the perception they had of this world.

Can You Be Replaced?
Ok, no one's irreplaceable and in a corporate setting that is exactly as it should be, but are they all just recyclable? Can anyone just be replaced by anyone else? What do you think? Dive in: http://bit.ly/2N3HxQB
