my keynote speaking. There are no powerpoints because I do not believe that a slide can depict internal compasses and values as well as a vivid story which carries an underlyingmessage. And disclaimer number three,
to decide how to create our corporate culture internally we're going to decide how when a call center operator picks up the telephone and says hello what freedoms and and moral compasses they're going to actually work with and let's see what happens and of course what happened is the largest Thrift in the country the most successful internet uh Bank uh initiative in the history of the world um 12 years later this thing is
But since that change would happen slowly, those animals would likely be able to adapt over time. The most that would happen might just be backwards compasses and confusing maps. Does that mean North Dakota would become South Dakota?
And it's Polynesia-- the biggest one-- that they navigated between their islands across thousands of kilometers of ocean without GPS or magnets, compasses , anything like that. They did it using observation.
in K1 in 19 38 took place just before he left for China he had been to see the Arabs possibly Sailors the Phoenicians had used compasses in the 13th and 14th centuries recorded
There are still people today, sailors and people who follow old traditions, who know how to navigate by the stars. Polynesian wayfarers traveled thousands of square miles around the ocean using the stars long before there were compasses .

Through the ice in this symmetrical way, they believed there were portals that led through the ice, and that it was warm up there, and that there was an iron mountain in the center of it, which of course explains why compasses work.

The Inuits' extraordinary wayfinding skills are born not of technological prowess-- they've eschewed maps, compasses , and other instruments-- but of a profound understanding of winds, snow drift patterns, animal behavior, stars, tides, and currents.
Charles McAleese, called "He Says People are no Damn Good, and Men Are Worse." I've come to the conclusion that I'm not made for love, that feelings are just tightly wound compasses , trying to make it home after a long night. Romance is a store brand laundry detergent we use to wash away our naive.
And when he patented it people had actually said to him, "This is a nonsensical thing. You don't need this on land because you can always use a compass ." Well when they were surveying across the Upper Peninsula when they got to the Negaunee Marquette area compasses don't work because there's so much iron ore in the ground.
As an idea, it rivals monotheism. Just as in Nietzsche's scheme, man created science, which in turn killed god, analog culture-- that's books, clocks, film, industrial machines, the compasses and timers of scientific method. Those things created digital culture, and now digital culture has superseded them.
