McKinsey just dropped its 2025 AI report. 1. Everyone’s testing, few are scaling. 88% of companies now use AI somewhere. Only 33% have scaled it beyond pilots. 2. The profit gap is huge. Just 6% see real EBIT impact. Most are still stuck in “experiments,” not execution. 3. The winners think bigger. Top performers aren’t cutting costs. They’re redesigning workflows and creating new products. 4. AI agents are emerging. 23% are testing agents. Only 10% have scaled them (mostly in IT and R&D). 5. The jobs shift is starting. 30% of companies expect workforce reductions next year, mostly in junior or support roles. TL;DR: AI adoption is nearly universal. Impact isn’t. The gap between pilots and profit is where the next unicorns will be built.

@technoshaman @B_Kagarlitsky @igorsushko Yes, I know Boris personally, we met a few times. It's terrible that he has been imprisoned

@B_Kagarlitsky Boris Kagarlitsky, Marxist sociologist, longtime activist, author of many books, and Editor in Chief of Rabkor, a leading leftist media channel in Russia, has been arrested on false "terrorism" charges. FREE BORIS! #FreeBoris cc: @luksha @igorsushko

Pro-life pro-future take on the situation in Ukraine youtu.be/cqgNltPFY5s Thank you @NJHagens for a critical and timely outcry

Please join us today to discuss how the indigenous ways can inform the future of global education for thriving futures

@MillenniumProj #WorldFuturesDay Three key conditions for thrivable & peaceful futures - Future oriented decision making - New leadership literacies - Forgiveness as the key value to release us from traumas of the past

@MillenniumProj #WorldFuturesDay We need Ministries and Parliaments of the Future - locally, nationally, and globally

11. Education as we know is a direct product of the industrial society: teaching workers & king's subjects at the age 7-22 to play by the rule. Now we live longer (hopefully until 110s), and we need focus on skills for "good life" not just good skills

@globaledfutures Talk #4 with @andersenske is on! Join on youtube.com/watch?v=_klaEg… I will capture some points from the conversation in the thread below

10. We are in the weird situation when we can rethink civilization for global flourishing, love and joy for everyone - but instead are forced to believe in the system that reproduces inequality and suffering. To move there we need to rethink "what is success"

9. We need to learn fundamental literacies and technologies, but we also need to learn: - aesthetics/beauty - political structures of our society - science - how scientific knowledge is produced - history - how stories are being told - ethics - principles behind our actions

8. We thrive in the zone of learning, and all our planet from fungi to animals is the learning place. How come the existing school model is the opposite of learning for thriving? @andersenske

7. PISA testing played very negative role in recent years in Nordic countries in terms of Nordic Bildung model - focusing on grades instead of collective learning, emotional & relational intelligence etc.

6. Many regions are in similar situation today (large illiterate & poor population, low resources) and they can learn from Nordic Bildung approach - e.g. regions in Africa. The model is easily transferable

5. At least 15% of the rural population including women went into "folk colleges" and it was a gamechanger. Nordic countries became some of the most educated and literate. Back then the region was one of the poorest and low-tech, and the transformation was very impressive

4. Students gained knowledge, learned to be confident, and could act as a backbone of their community. They led the cooperative movement and transformed the country into one of the most prosperous in the world. The model was taken on by Sweden, Norway, Finland...

3. Nordic Bildung in Denmark was "folk college" that focused on young peasant population. Its principles: a. Students needed to be "at home" not to be intimidated. b. Education was conducted by stories that could engage - starting with history, then economics, agriculture etc.

2. The ideal of 19th century German philosophers is to liberate people from "rule of emotions" by learning to be rational, aesthetics-oriented, and team players. This view of LLL responded to the failure of French revolution where people couldn't use their freedom properly

1. Bildung (image building) is the German word for "education", and it essentially means "building the image of" - originally, in the image of God, and later in the image of "ideal man" (in the ideals of Enlightenment Age - "natural person", "rational person" etc.)
