The 33 Project
Hello hello. It’s August! My birth month! That’s right, this very newsletter was birthed in August of 2020. Anniversaries are fun - a time to reflect, to feel proud, to feel tired.
Should we get into this week’s recs? Ok!
1/ How well can you discern what’s real vs. fake news? There’s a test for that! The “Misinformation Susceptibility Test — the MIST”.
Unsurprisingly, when you want to express your attitude you’re more prone to share misinformation. Apparently, I’m more resilient to misinformation than 44% of the US population! - I got 14/20. That’s actually bad right?
2/ This is an interesting piece on the major investment going into Syracuse, NY by way of semiconductor plants. I found it compelling to read all the ways “new tech” has actually busted and not brought forth the promise of prosperity. Hopefully these memory chips break that trend and create a boom for a city in desperate need.
The trick for Syracuse is not to try to be another Silicon Valley (a well-known list of others have failed at that fool’s errand) or even another Austin, but to use its resources and skills to define its own unique brand of innovation.
3/ Personal plug: Are you following Tourlami? We launched our video series and have begun to post on all social channels.

That’s all for this week! Thank you as always for reading and sharing and letting me know what’s interesting in your world. Have a great rest of your day.
