Conversation with Michael Deem + Why I don’t practice law.

Tonight, Michael Deem asked me some interesting questions about law school, design and the work that I’ve been doing related to the Collaborative Internet.  The full conversation is below.

Surfing, Flow and Good Work

My first post on Lively Work is up:

Surfing, Flow and Good Work

For archival purposes, here is the the text.

Hi,
I’m Matt Schutte and I’ll be one of the contributors to the lively work blog. This piece is just a little intro to a few of the concepts that I’m looking to explore as part of this project.
My personal interest in the subject stretches back into my own childhood.I was a kid with a very active brain. Most nights saw me staring at the ceiling for hours, trying to fall asleep, but instead dreaming up math equations, entrepreneurial schemes and more. Sitting in my third grade class one afternoon, I came up with a little game. Continue reading

Slow mo surf porn. Why is it so compelling?

An interesting video popped up on the internet a week or two ago.  Surf cinematographer Chris Bryan released a 6 minute edit featuring some of his best 1000 frame per second Phantom camera shots of surfers and waves.

It’s funny how making something super clear and super slow somehow makes it so much more compelling to look at.

Lessons Learned and Changing Circumstances

Experience teaches us what works and what does not work. This is true for individuals and it is true for institutions. However, these “lessons learned” guide us well only so long as conditions do not change. Of course, conditions do change. And therein lies the rub.

The lessons learned – the processes honed – may help us manufacture the best portable cassette players on the planet, but those lessons don’t do us much good when people are streaming music through Spotify on their phone. Even the best manufacturers aren’t selling many walkman’s today.

So how do we strike the appropriate balance? How do we learn from our experiences, without being blinded by them? How do we distinguish the writing on the wall from the noise?

California Moments

This clip is from a couple of years back, just after I had moved back to San Francisco after 6 months in Indonesia.  Indo was great, but California is special in its own way.

CA Labs | on Liberty with John Papola and Matthew Schutte

On June 17th, I gave a speech at an event in Austin Texas called Voice and Exit.  The talk was about striking a balance between privacy and transparency in a digitally connected world.

After my talk, I had a chance to chat with one of last year’s speakers — John Papola from Emergent Order — and we ended up jumping on a google hangout to continue the conversation a couple of weeks later.

The conversation ranged broadly, but largely focused on the concepts of liberty and emergence.

Enjoy!

In this talk, I talk about several things including:
-the maker movement

-flow states

-the relationship between autonomy and passion and the implications for organizational structures

-the accelerated pace of change being fostered by internet enabled knowledge flows

This is a brief chat about some of the drivers of inequality at present as well as the way that I believe the Collaborative Internet may counterbalance one of those drivers.
