Best for whom?
- dj_mc_merlin 4y agoBest for the blog post author. Picking fights with people stronger than you, in a system you don't intend to leave, doesn't usually work out well for you. Nor in general. STFUing is a near-optimal strategy in a lot of situations, really.
- nobodyandproud 4y agoLocally (as in, local maxima) I would agree. I can’t think of any whistle-blower who didn’t suffer major blowback, unless they remained anonymous. However it also leads to a tragedy of commons, in this case in the form of institutional corruption.
