Word. Anything out of the ordinary will be shot down asap to protect the egos involved. Social Darwinism; it's all one big competition these days, and in a competition you either win or loose.
- Angostura 9y agoThat doesn't appear to be what the research is suggesting. From this, it's not about ego, it's about the fear of uncertainty.
- andreasgonewild 9y agoResearch, smesearch; fear is a product of ego. And so is crawling on your knees for authorities to tell you how the world works...

And so is crawling on your knees for authorities to tell you how the world works... Your second comment seems like almost an illustration of the attitude you (seem to) decry in your first.
- andreasgonewild 9y agoThese days I prefer trusting my senses and actual experience to taking random authorities perspectives for granted. I wasn't always like this, once upon a time I believed anything that came from so called "respected members" of this society; but over time I got burned so many times that I just can't be bothered any more. Tell me about personal experience, something you reflected on yourself; and I'll listen.
- anigbrowl 9y agoSame thing. Nobody wants to look stupid if they're wrong.

- Angostura 9y agoUmmm. No. Or is the only reason you're ever worried about things going wrong down to your ego?
- anigbrowl 9y agoIf you want creative solutions, then pay the price which is having room to experiment and sometimes fail. If you're not willing to give people the resources they need then it's asking for all the benefit while undertaking none of he risk, a strategy that is unlikely to be successful.
