The next time your phone pings you a notification, ask yourself: “Is this trigger serving me, or am I serving it?”
@nireyal invokes @bjfogg’s B=MAT model to explain how to hack external triggers to work for US, not for #BigTech.
#Empathy is listening with emotion, while #storytelling is speaking with it, and our #ethics tell us what to say.
Teaser for my new blog post about the future of #UX - live (hopefully) next week!
Note to self: every conversation is an opportunity to #learn and be inspired. Stay curious, ask questions, and take notes 📝

This #book was dangerous for me to read before bed, because I kept getting exited to start putting it into action!
The #DesignOps Handbook: great, practical, actionable advice by @daveixd, et al. And thank y’all for making it available as #epub 🙏🏼
#Privacy isn’t important to me; I have nothing to hide...
🤔 Yeah? What about your name, photos, phone numbers, age, and occupation? Or those of your kids?
Edward @Snowden says of his wife @lsjourneys what I feel about @hesterbruikman:
“She’s so much more than I’ll ever deserve.”
Watch his wonderfully touching interview below ✊🏼❤️🎥
@gael Awesome, Gaël - congratulations! Do you have an idea when Fairphone 3 will be supported? Thanks! 🙏🏼
“You might think your privacy is safe because you are a nobody... If you weren’t that important, businesses and governments wouldn’t be going to so much trouble to spy on you.”

I asked Steve (@docbaty) at the after-party last night if he thought my opening keynote at @UXAustralia would lose him sponsors next year. His response brought tears to my eyes. Be like Steve.
“So if people heard the message that you said, Aral, in your keynote and their response was ‘well I want nothing to do with that conference’, well in all honesty, fuck ‘em.” – @docbaty

Met such wonderful people and had such a lovely time at #UXAustralia – couldn’t have asked for a better event to launch Small Technology Foundation at (https://small-tech.org).
Thank you all for being so awesome and thank you, Deb, for your beautiful sketch-notes from my talk :)
@aral break a leg! 🎭✊🏼

Amazon has unsafe products on its digital shelves. That needs to change.
One place to start? Mandate privacy policies for *all* internet-connected devices for sale on the platform.

Myth: Empathy is about “how would I feel in this person’s situation?”
Truth: #Empathy is about “when have I felt the way this person feels, and how can I recall that feeling now?”
This & more in our next @shotsofpurpose episode, dropping Monday!
“Current programs to help people quit #smoking are focused on cognitive control/will-power, which ironically depends on the weakest part of our brain.”
@judbrewer’s app uses #mindfulness & helped study participants smoke 11 🚬 fewer per day
It’s fascinating to me that #science and #storytelling work the same way, modeled by “Hegel’s” dialectic.
Craig explains in this #Scriptnotes podcast episode:

Thesis = H0 = equilibrium
Antithesis = H1 = conflict
Synthesis = conclusion = resolution
