Assholes shake up hive minds
Hive minds create cohesion and work better as teams..but they squash excellence.
Both are needed
- Juliate 6y agoBut excellence is hubris. That's the point.
- BadThink6655321 6y agoExcellence is privilege.
- _aleph2c_ 6y agoI wish I had enough points to down vote your comment.
- loudtieblahblah 6y agothose who do well should be forced to take drugs to slow their cognition and wear chains to slow their movements so no one ever feels threatened by them, amirite?
- Dominisi 6y agoAh yes, spoken like somebody who hasn't achieved anything in their life because everything is beyond their control.
- danaris 6y agoThis logic doesn't hold up, because there's something very important missing: Sure, assholes can sometimes shake up hive minds. But it doesn't require an asshole to shake up a hive mind and bring excellence. What it requires...is a leader. Like the article says, someone who can recognize what each person or group actually needs to be brought to excellence, which is not always an asshole.
- loudtieblahblah 6y agothe problem with the whole leader thing is often the institution and the culture of a given organization (government, corporate, sports, religious, etc..) will often avoid putting leaders into place that are like that purely to preserve things the way they are. People prefer a lack of disruption. An asshole.. usually just kinda ends up there and elbows people out of the way. An asshole exists regardless of the organizational culture or the institutional pressures. Whereas you have to sit around and wait for said organization to bless you with such a leader at their discretion.
- watwut 6y agoTypically, assholes create hive minds. The way they treat people pushes others into passive submission and prevents dissent.
