let me put it this way...
I'm working on some arbitrary science project. I have ongoing serious, well informed, disagreements with my colleague about how to proceed. Sometimes we later find out he's right, sometimes I'm right, sometimes we're both wrong.
Should I instead hire my neighbors two year old because my colleague and I disagree?
- john_moscow 6y agoThere's a different perspective as well. Let's say you have one colleague that speaks his mind all the time. Sometimes he says dumb stuff, sometimes suggests useful ideas. And another colleague, who's very nice and polite, agrees with everything you (and others) say, but he only does it to get optics points and is actually plotting how to replace you with someone cheaper. This is happening here and now. Tech monopolies are commoditizing human labor, and social justice/immigration policies use noble excuses to bring in lower bidders into the commoditized market. This hurts everyone's well-being, this creates unnecessary tension between groups that are forced to compete directly instead of operating in separate market segments, but hey, the figurehead behind the operation sounds like such a great guy, when he reads his speeches from a teleprompter.
- avs733 6y agowe don't have a two different colleagues problem... we have a two-year old problem I agree in principle with most of what you are saying. However, my neighbors two-year old cannot launch nuclear weapons.
