I like things that cause me to look at myself and the world in new ways.  Infographic of the Day: Does Being Old Really Make You a Republican? from FastCompany is the provocative item that crossed my desk this morning.

The system of the world has people at its heart.  Not just the people that OK Cupid used to conduct this analysis, but the 6.8 billion (more-or-less) on the planet, all endowed with different cultural characteristics and aligned with different cultural groups (Javidan, M., & House, R. (2001). Cultural Acumen for the Global Manager: Lessons from Project GLOBE. Organizational Dynamics, 29(4), 289-305).  This makes for complexity, changing opaqueness, rapid and unpredictable change, that challenges us in increasingly new and different ways.
